Capcom Permanently Lowers The Price Of Monster Hunter Stories 2 On Switch

Pokemon fans will lap this up. No-brainer at this price.

Very smart move by Capcom. More companies should do this to reignite interest in older games.

Good deal. Once it hits 15ish I'll grab it.

I’d rather they permanently lower the price of the first Monster Hunter Stories game before the eShops on Wii U & 3DS close down.

@majinx07 it has been ages ago that game was on sale in EU, luckily I was recently lucky to find a used copy of it under €30.

Its a fantastic JRPG and well worth the new price.

you can find monster hunter ruin selling lower then $39 bucks..

great game to consider at that price. polished game with really involved battles, its like if a pokemon game was allowed to be developed for 5 years

It seems my patience has paid off in this case!

...But I've still seen it on sale for lower.

...well then.
(But seriously the game is really fun!)

Nintendo needs to pick up on this practice. I should not be looking at Pokémon games from five years ago still at full price, with only the occasional “30% off” sale…

Got this for full price near launch and it was 100% worth it. One of my favorite RPGs from the last few years.

@Ade117 Maybe specific red giant I know, Cough, Cough Nintendo Cough

Yay, that’s great!

sounds like thats the normal price for the game at most retailers for years...

Did Capcom ever fix the framedrops on this title?

If you don't have this yet you really should get it.

Fantastic game, easily one of the best on Switch.

At this price i would buy it with a 50% discount

Just got it from DekuDeals website
for $29 physical,
redirected me to BESTBUY
but physical for cheap

Never had any interest whatsoever in main series Monster Hunter but have wondered about looking into Stories at some point.

I’m old enough to remember when this was the norm and Players Choice and Selects were a thing.🤑

For the price of a 3DS game, YOU can make this Nintendo Switch happy by buying Monster Hunter Stories 2.

@rjejr you're also old enough to remember when Nintendo had two consoles on the market.

My friend was playing this game. I do not know what he have done it. On PC or Switch or maybe something else.

@LimitedPower That would be nice. Unlike the other console makers, Nintendo is unique that they rarely lower prices on First Party titles. This practice doesn't seem to hurt them but it'd be nice to see what would happen if they tried it.

@jorel262 Even the Nintendo Selects titles have just kind of up and disappeared. So weird

@rjejr Those were so great. Player's Choice was brilliant for my college student budget.

No Switch game should be more than £40. When you can buy PS and XB for £40 and they're a far superior version, Switch games should realistically be between £30 and £40.

@nilcam I bought my Gamecube as soon as I read it had dropped to $99. That same day I recall buying 4 games, Smash for $30, StarFox Adventures, Mario Kart and Luigi's Mansion for $20 each. Just over $200 for a brand new console and 4 great games.

Oh, I should probably mention Gamecube was my first Nintendo console. If it wasn't for that $99 price and those Players Choice games I may have never bought Nintendo. I could be an Xbox gamer. Or not. 😉

@IronMan30 Yes, yes I am. Don't think only having 1 console on the market for 6 years precludes it's own "popular" discounted line though. 🤷‍♂️

@rjejr that's about the only explanation I can think of as to why they don't want to do it.

@rjejr My first Nintendo console was the SNES. I bought the Zelda pack with LttP for $90 with a mail in for Supper Mario All Stars. I picked up Mega Man X and Players Choice Super Metroid for $20 each.

I'm ready for MH Stories 3! Stick it in my veins, Capcom!!

@nilcam Wow, you're a Nintendo lifer. I think you could double your money if you still have all of that stuff on eBay. Not that I would. I gave my Gamecube to my nieces & nephew after we got the Wii since it functioned as a Gamecube. Wii is still hooked up in my kids room. But that's as far back as we go. My kid did get the NES Mini but passed on the SNES Mini for some reason. My nostalgia only goes back to 128 bit.

@IronMan30 I'm just going to blame it on covid since I live in the US. If I lived in the UK I'd blame it on Brexit. 😉

They don't have to though. 6 year old, yes 6, Zelda BotW is still selling at $60 and they didn't even make a Complete Edition so you still have to pay $80 to have a green line on your map and find a wolf Link amiibo somewhere to have a pet/familiar to fight alongside you and warn you of encroaching danger. They should have made a Complete Edition just for the line and the companion to be in the base game. But they don't have too. Maybe on the Switch 2 4k version of the game. 🤑 I'm finally getting Pikmin 4, I haven't played a new Pikmin game in 10 years (7/13/21 they're basically releasing the sequel on the 10 year anniversary) and Pikmin 3 is probably still going for $60, a 10 year old port. Same for Mario Kart 8. Which I might buy the 4k version on Switch 2 for the new track packs.

It's crazy how Nintendo operates compared to Sony which just added 1 year old HFW to it's PS++ subscription service. Crazy.

They're probably still selling Splatoon 2 for $60 and everyone has moved on to Splatoon 3. 🤑
