With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests the latest edition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of the Nintendo 3DS system to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature allows players to quickly access in-game books, weapons, field maps and mini games whilst the high quality graphics 3D visuals of Nintendo 3DS powered by the latest iteration of Capcom's MT Framework deliver a unique and stunning world for players to explore.

All Monster Hunter games are similar. However, MHTri and MH3U are special because they are the only ones that feature underwater combat. Unfortunately, neither of these games is available on current platforms, making it nearly impossible to play them legally and safely today. It would be really great if MH3U were available on modern devices. MHTri was my first Monster Hunter, and I truly want its legacy, as well as MH3U’s, to be preserved the right way.
"The first time I heard about Monster Hunter was in its third installment for the Wii console. The experience was quite simple because I didn’t want the game itself, but rather the controller. In America, they released a game set with a Super Nintendo-style controller, but in my mind, all I was thinking about was using the controller for other games But the moment I put the game in and the cinematic started with the game’s introduction, it hooked me. As I began playing, I got hooked on facing colossal monsters, essentially with what could be called a stick, improving through the falls and seeing the monster's characteristics. It was an incredible feeling, and I wish I could relive that first time I played this beautiful game."

Honestly, the only way modern players can try the underwater mechanic, one of the best mh games ever released and a true nostalgia piece. As a monster hunter fan myself, i would recomend to at least try this or mh4u if u want to try an "og" mh game.

The third generation of Monster Hunter was such an important time for the series, Capcom and the Monster Hunter team innovated so much in terms of map and monster design and the effects are still felt throughout the series to this day. I think that it would be incredible for players of the newer games to be able to experience the 3rd generation of Monster Hunter, especially since right now, there's no easy way to play these games, unlike MHGU and the two fifth generation games, there is no way to legally play them on modern hardware. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is such an important game for the series but also for me personally, such a beautiful experience with incredible musical compositions, map designs, art, monsters, weapons and an overall good time with that old sense of wonder that you'd feel when booting up a game for the first time.
My predilct game mh ,brachidos and abisal amazing, i can end all game ando engoy custom builds, hunt the plesiont un the water really my favorte mh portátil game ever
The game that means so much to my, the acuatic combat was really good (when you're not playing the 3DS version XD), the charismatic monsters like Dire Miralis, Abbysal Lagiacrus, Gobul, Nibelsnarf, Hollowed Jhen Mohran, Rust Duramboros and many others that are closed on this game and they didn't deserve that fate, they have their rights to shine once again and I'll fight to see this game on GOG and preserve the legacy of MH
The first monster hunter I played, so many hours, and the funny part is that I found it on a pawn shop, but was really a discovery, this game made my r1 button don't work on my old 3ds
Water combat was so fun and had such an amazing and special atmosphere to it wich would be way better with the right stick of modern controllers, I used to play it in a 3DS The Deserted Island map is so cool and beautiful in its underwater zones and the Flooded Forest had such a cozy beautiful nice aura with its rainforest vibes, loved this game, also amazing fights like Gobul, Royal Ludroth and Lagiacrus, sadly Gobul is one of the few monsters that never got to future games and stayed in 3 Ultimate like Qurupeco and Gigginox
This was the entry title for me to this magnificent world of monster hunter. I've played it so much on my WiiU and 3DS... I'd definitely buy a PC version of it, to relieve those days. Also, aquatic battles and Lagiacrus, baby!
Those games also need your vote!

Resident Evil: HD Remaster
Resident Evil: HD RemasterThe hugely popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 61 million units to date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the critically acclaimed masterpiece, Resident Evil. Originally released in 1996, Resident Evil was then “remade” in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals, gameplay elements, environments and story details while retaining the survival horror atmosphere the series had become synonymous for. Both fans of the franchise who want a trip down memory lane and those who have yet to experience the game that coined the term survival horror for the gaming world will appreciate this definitive re-visit of that iconic 2002 Resident Evil title. The intense horror fans first experienced with the release of the original Resident Evil is back. Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players will need to be brave as they adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers will need to keep their wits about them to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet them at every stage.
