Monster Hunter Stories Collection - Nintendo Switch

Monster Hunter Stories Collection

Monster Hunter Stories Collection brings together two beloved RPG spin-offs from the iconic Monster Hunter franchise — Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin — in one definitive package for Nintendo Switch, developed and published by Capcom. Rather than hunting monsters, players bond with them — hatching eggs, raising Monsties, and battling alongside them in a charming and deeply engaging turn-based RPG system. With heartfelt stories, colorful worlds, hundreds of Monsties to collect, and the beloved Kinship system, the Monster Hunter Stories Collection is an essential RPG experience for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

Monster Hunter Stories — The Original Classic

Monster Hunter Stories is the charming RPG that reimagined the Monster Hunter universe through the eyes of a Rider — a special warrior who bonds with monsters rather than hunting them. Follow a young Rider and his Rathalos companion Rathalos as they embark on an adventure to uncover the mystery of the Black Blight threatening the world. The game features a colorful cast of characters, a heartfelt coming-of-age story, and the innovative Head-to-Head battle system where reading your opponent's attack type — Power, Speed, or Technical — is the key to victory. Originally released on Nintendo 3DS, this is the first time the original Monster Hunter Stories has been available on Nintendo Switch in enhanced form.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the acclaimed sequel that expanded every aspect of the original — a larger world, deeper Monstie collection system, more complex battle mechanics, and a compelling story centered on a young Rider, his Rathalos egg, and the mysterious Wings of Ruin prophecy. With over 300 Monsties to hatch and raise, a rich gene-splicing system for customizing Monstie abilities, and online co-op quests, Stories 2 is one of the most content-rich RPGs on Nintendo Switch.

The Kinship System — Bond with Your Monsties

The heart of both Monster Hunter Stories games is the Kinship system — building a deep bond with your Monstie companions through battle and adventure. As Kinship grows, players can perform powerful Kinship Skills and ultimately ride their Monstie in spectacular Kinship Attacks that turn the tide of even the most challenging battles. The emotional connection between Rider and Monstie is what makes the Stories series so uniquely endearing.

Hundreds of Monsties to Collect

Both games feature an extensive roster of beloved Monster Hunter creatures available as Monsties — from iconic monsters like Rathalos, Nargacuga, Zinogre, and Tigrex to fan favorites from across the Monster Hunter franchise. Hatching eggs found in monster dens, raising Monsties, and building the perfect team is an endlessly engaging loop that will keep players invested for hundreds of hours.
