Monster Hunter Generations is one of the best games to come out on 3DS this year, offering a mix of nostalgia and new ideas. As always it's also got a whole lot of content, with free DLC adding to that every month; we gave it 9 out of 10 in our review.
Lucky North American 3DS owners now have a chance to pick it up at a discount, with Capcom confirming a 30% eShop discount that's live until 18th October - that should see it drop to $28 from its usual $39.99 price in the US, for example.
Sadly this is NA only for the time being; are any of you planning to take the plunge on this discount?
Thanks to all that sent this in.

High time I bought it. Just been enjoying MH4U so much lately.
I've been looking forward to Generations since it was announced in Japan but I just haven't had the money to pick it up or the time to play it even if I did. Maybe I can scoop it soon.
Well then, this might be the push I needed. And after I was starting to catch up on MH3U.
If only it was physical too...
I urge everyone to pick it up! It's great.
I still prefer 4U though.
Sadly, life has caught up with me.no time to dedicate for this game. Ah, to be single and childless again.... gonna sell my copy of mh4u soon. Got my 200hrs or so out of it. It's a great series.
Anybody looking for a steal of a deal, Starfox Zero new on disc with SF Guard is $22 on/from Amazon US. That's practically buy Guard get Zero free.

This has to be the fastest I've ever seen a 1st party Nintendo game drop in price. 6 months, 60% off. W101 is the same price.
Oh, King Dedede is only $4.65. I just wanted to post the pic.
I'm still invested in SMT4:Apocalypse so no time for Monster Hunter.
I need to get back into it otherwise I'm going to have a 50% sale on my copy. Mh4u is still my favorite and generations just hasn't sparked me in the same way.
I have no idea what a Star Fox game and a King Dedede amiibo has to do with Monster Hunter Generations. MHG is a fantastic game if you enjoy the series. 4U is more challenging but the Hunter Arts and Hunter Styles brings many more gamelpay options in Generations. 9/10 indeed.
@rjejr ..wow, another "tempting discount"..good tip, I'll take Zero for 0..MH can wait..
Have not started playing this yet. I'm stuck on the final story boss of MH4U.
i stopped playing this game still HR 1 lol cuz i dont have time to spend hundreds of hours hunting :/
@Moon How so? I still haven't picked this up, just curious as to how it compares.
I've deleted every demo except the smallest one on my 3DS and almost every video on my 3DS yet I managed to fill my 32gb card up completely. So no more digital games for me.
Damn, already bought two copies (one for me and one for lil bro) last month.
Wow, thanks for the heads up NL.
Sweet! My brother and I have been wanting to play this, haven't been able to justify the $40 though. Love the demo, just isn't "different" enough for $40. I'll spend $28 on it in a heartbeat though!
eShop says 35% off when I got on. The price listed is 25.99
Still no reason for me to get it since MH4U has more to offer.
There are too many MH titles out in such a small life cycle.
@Zach777
Monster Hunter 4 owners get an extra 5% off.
Digital-only means it might as well not exist in my eyes. Cool for those that like digital copies, I guess.
@MegaMari0 My fiance left me almost 3 weeks ago. I feel your pain... but keep your games.
Does anyone know the file size?
Having never played a MH game, is this a good place to start?
The price seems right.
This would be a nice discount for Europe as well if it ever happened.
The thing that sucks with MonHun games is that the online play is not global. It killed the whole game for me in the beginning already that MonHun4 was not playable together by Japanese players and European/American players so I couldn't play the game together with my wife.
If a proper discount comes to Europe I'll be getting it. Considering I'm still playing 3u and 4u, I see no reason to buy it at full price.
I've only been holding off due to not finishing with 4U yet. I may get this at a discount & play it after I at the least finish all the 4u quests.
@WhiteTrashGuy
12,534 blocks.... or... 1.56 gb.
Thanks for the info earlier.
@MitchVogel Don't get me wrong, they're both fantastic games!
My reasons for liking 4U over Generations:
Gens is capped at 30FPS, which feels really slow when you've played 4U for hundreds of hours. It's particulaly noticable on the levels from 4U that appear in Generations (a fair amount of them).
Generations has a much higher amount of gathering quests - and as a completionist it is annoying because most people you will meet online will leave your room saying 'not key quest'. There's also these really annoying 'defeat 50 small monster' quests that last way too long and aren't much fun.
MH4U is more about fighting big monsters. MH4U has huge elder dragons to fight. MH4U's frame rate is uncapped. MH4U has G-Rank. I also prefer the crafting style of 4U.
Gens has palicoes which are nifty, but novelty. Then it's also got the Hunter Arts and Styles going for it, but basically this just means everyone is now 'Aerial' style and jumping around the place getting mounts. Not really a bad thing but it doesn't seem as fun to me (still really fun, I just preferred it when everyone was on an even playing field and had to tactfully jump off of ledges to get mounts).
Again, they're both great and I'd recommend them both. Definitely 2 of the best 3DS games. I really hope Nintendo have put things in place to secure Monster Hunter for their next platform! Sorry for the essay
@SH007ME It's $21.87 this morning, I think even I have to buy it now, we don't really like space fighting games but we really want Guard, the demo was fun. 2 games for $22 is hard to resist. And I might as well pick up King Dedede while I'm at it.
@rjejr ..nice..I wanted both, but had been waiting for a good price, good lookin out!
@VR32F1END dude, that's rough. Chin up man! more fish in the sea as they say.
