Hori Split Pad Pro (Monster Hunter Rise Edition)

$60

If you're sad that the Monster Hunter-edition Pro Controller is sold out, there's another alternative for those who like to play handheld. Hori is releasing a Monster Hunter-themed version of its popular Split Pad Pro controllers, which replace your standard Joy-Cons and offer a more comfortable ergonomic fit when playing undocked. The Hori Split Pad Pro is one of the best third-party Switch controllers, and this new Monster Hunter design looks very neat. However, it doesn't release until April 26, one month after the game's launch.

Monster Hunter Rise, as the name suggests, has more verticality than previous Monster Hunter games. Players will have access to an item called the Wirebug that allows them to grapple through the air and scale walls. The Wirebug can also be used in combat to create fast-paced combos. Based on the gameplay trailer, it appears that Rise will have a large variety of combat moves that will lead to dynamic showdowns against the big monsters.

Speaking of monsters, Capcom revealed four of the new monsters joining the lineup in Rise. The main foe is Magnamalo, a Fanged Wyvern that apparently caused the first calamity in 50 years. We also got a look at Aknosom (Bird Wyvern), Tetranadon (amphibian), and Great Izuchi (Bird Wyvern). Like Monster Hunter World, big monsters will get into fights with each other during your hunts, and Capcom said it's working on some new features for these showdowns that will be revealed at a later date.

This time around, your base camp is called Kamura Village. At base, you'll stock up on items, upgrade gear, converse with locals to advance the story, and accept quests. After posting a quest, you'll be transported to open-world locales that are entirely seamless, just like Monster Hunter World. This is a critical change on Switch, as Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate's locales featured load times between zones.

Palicos return as adorable little support partners on quests, but the felines will also be joined by canines called Palamutes. Hunters can hop on the backs of Palamutes to move around the map quicker. When playing solo, you can bring two support buddies with you. In multiplayer, each hunter gets to bring one support partner (a Palico or Palamute). You'll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play with up to three friends online.
