 Well, this month we're giving away a copy of Monster Hunter Rise and two $20 Nintendo Switch, PlayStation or Xbox gift cards, heading on to the description of the pinned comment to enter, but I bring this up first, even though I usually mention it at the beginning of every video, because we have some Monster Hunter news for you today about stories and about Rise, and we're going to start with stories because that's the biggest news we have, essentially they did a little Monster Hunter presentation today, a direct if it was, and it lasted for like 20 something minutes, and what's interesting is they did a lot of stuff here, so first off, Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Rune does launch this July, it launches July 9th on Switch and PC, so it is console exclusive for the moment, but also on PC, so technically not a true exclusive, but there hasn't been a lot of crossover in terms of PC sales taken away from Switch, Switch sales taken away from PC, even on games that are on both, so for all intents and purposes, it's a good get for both platforms, so along with the release date news, we get three of the main characters in the game are going to be getting Amiibo, believe it or not, pretty interesting, so Ana, Razwing and Ratha, sorry the two names there, and Tsukino, I'm sure I'm butchering these names, they are all going to get Amiibo, we didn't really get a look at what the Amiibo will look at, it looks like they just used character models from the game, so we'll see what happens, there's also going to be a deluxe edition of the game, and this is interesting because we don't always get these deluxe editions, but we do this time at home, it's going to include a Razwing layered armor set and a Nerjanti inspired hairstyle for players, not good at pronouncing these words, the Kuwing coat outfit for your Wyvrin, companion Ana, two new outfits for Naviru and two sticker sets depicting various companion players, we'll encounter throughout the journey, so most of it's in-game content you're going to get with the deluxe edition, which I always am kind of here or there on in-game content, I get it, it's all cosmetics, but still you're paying for extra just to get stuff that is clearly already ready for the game, but you do get a couple sticker sets with it, which I think is interesting at least, obviously when you do these deluxe editions or these special editions, I prefer them to be more collectibles involved, but it is what it is, now that's the news for Monster Hunter stories too, so again July 9th, look forward to it, looks great, but we also have news about Monster Hunter Rise, now we already know Monster Hunter Rise is coming rather quickly, but yeah, we actually have some good news here because we're getting a second demo, Monster Hunter Rise Demo Version 2, so it says here as well as confirmation of Monster Hunter stories to switch release date, the showcase revealed Monster Hunter Rise will soon be treated to a second free demo, fittingly called Monster Hunter Rise Demo Version 2, the second demo will be available from this coming Friday and will add a challenging advanced quest where players will get to take on Magnum Molo, which dude he looks really badass to be completely honest, they have a lot of really cool monsters in Monster Hunter of course, also future updates for Monster Hunter Rise will be free to all players, so that's important to note they're not doing like a traditional DLC pay for content model here, they're just saying no, we're giving you these updates free, that doesn't mean there won't be paid DLC someday of course, but for now future updates will be free, so as the first of these is expected to be available at the end of April, so that's really cool, that's literally like a month from launch, I like that, so getting new content a month from launch makes sense to me, so it introduced a variety of new monsters including the newly announced Camellios, so you get the new Monster Camellios and then several new monsters that are unannounced at this point, unlocked HR cap and related features as well, and then there'll be several new monsters and other content added at a future time, so here's kind of the rundown of the gameplay features that were revealed, so in addition to the initial silk bind attacks available to all 14 weapon types, hunters will unlock new switch skills for each weapon as they progress through the game, by swapping out these new skills with existing silk bind or regular attacks players can create all new combos and strategies that match the preferred play style, Monster Hunter Rise will also include dynamic difficulty scaling for multiplayer which automatically adjusts as new players enter and exit a hunt, the new Hunter Connect feature will allow hunters to create tags with their objectives and play style and search for other players with the same tags or invite friends to any tags they have joined, upon completing a quest in multiplayer, players will also be able to like the other hunters in their party and increase the likelihood of finding each other in matchmaking, finally players can capture their heroic accomplishments and vibrant beauty of Monster Hunter Rise with the camera feature, where I think it's cool about the online stuff in particular is they're trying to work around the friend code system right, the friend code system sucks, I think we've always known from the moment that a friend code system existed on an Nintendo platform that it's horrible it's horrendous it shouldn't be here so they're like look we're gonna give you an easier way you could basically create a hashtag and that's how your friends can find you also if you play with new players and you like them you can literally like them and then you can find them easier in the future again welcome features so cool I think this is great news all around for Monster Hunter fans yes I think I'm gonna end up picking up Monster Hunter Rise this month not a huge Monster Hunter player and you need to sync hundreds if not thousands of hours to really get good at Monster Hunter but I think I'm gonna pick it up I think there's just this teaming interest I have just because the game looks so good and I really enjoyed my time with the demo and you guys know we'll be playing that demo on live stream I'm sure at some point this weekend anyways folks I'm Nathan and Robert Jansson from Nintendo Prime that was just a lot of information to get through and so I want to give you guys a little bit of time to digest it plus I have a whole other video to try to get done today so there are lots of videos today one of my most jam-packed video days in a while so I want to thank you guys for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video
