Capcom has released two new videos for its Japan-bound Monster Hunter Stories. The first video is of the game's opening cinematic, a pre-rendered cutscene that features many of the game's characters. The second video is a brief look at catching and raising monsters in-game. While the dialogue and text is in Japanese, it does grant a look at many of the available monsters.

Monster Hunter Stories is nearly out in Japan, with its release date set for October 8, 2016. The game is a more traditional RPG take on the series available exclusively for Nintendo 3DS. There are currently no plans to release the game in the West.
