A free demo version of Monster Hunter Stories is now available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America and Europe.
To accompany the launch of the demo, Nintendo has released a new trailer that gives an overview of the game.
MonsterVine: "The holidays are already stressful enough, so let us help you smooth brain your way through it by giving some of our suggestions for what gifts you should get for any gamers in your life with our holiday gift guide!"
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Despite a handful of unsightly assets, an underwhelming story, and a few difficulty spikes, the remaster of Monster Hunter Stories makes for an easy recommendation, for Monster Hunter fans or simply for anyone interested in approachable turn-based role-playing games who missed the original on 3DS. Its battle system is engaging and accessible, its monster-collecting gameplay addictive, and its world packed with dozens of hours of rewarding content."

However, with the second Monster Hunter Stories being on the Switch already, is this one worth checking out too? Is it as good of a game? Here is our review of Monster Hunter Stories for the Nintendo Switch!"
