Replay – Monster Hunter
The first Monster Hunter (and its follow-ups) were huge hits in Japan, but it landed with a thud in Game Informer's office when it released in 2004. Our lukewarm feelings, however, were not universal. In fact, we found someone in our office who has a full on obsession with the original and the franchise in general, and brought her on Replay to tell us why she loves the series so much.
This week Andrew Reiner, Joe Joe Juba, and myself are joined by Game Informer senior graphic designer and Monster Hunter superfan Laleh Tobin. Laleh shows us the ropes, explains why the game hooked her when it released, and shows off her save file on which she has poured literally hundreds of hours.
For part two we do one of our favorite things, which is to grab a Super Nintendo game none of us have ever heard of, and hope for the best.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
