Monster Hunter Stories is the first installment in the Monster Hunter series that will revolve around more than just defeating huge monsters and taking their parts for bigger and better weapons and armor. This time, there's more story elements as well as RPG elements that will change the game and take in a direction more similar to a Legend of Zelda-type game. In fact, the new reveal for the opening movie gives you a more in-depth look at what Capcom has in store for us and what you could look forward to when the game officially releases.

The trailer does look to be rather intense, giving the feel that not only will you be fighting monsters, but you will be using them to your advantage more than just as armor and weapons.  But, we won't know for sure until the game officially releases so until then, we can take advantage of what the opening movie has to offer. The game is set to release exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on October 8. No details are available for a North American release just yet.
