Collector interest

Monster Hunter XX Double Cross is the Japan-exclusive expanded version of X, never released in box form in the West on 3DS since the Ultimate follow-up moved to Switch. Very high collector value: the last mainline Monster Hunter ever shipped in box on the console, and one of the most complete of the entire handheld era. An essential closing piece for a Japanese 3DS MH collection.

Memorable bosses

An ambitious extension of its predecessor, this version pushes the hunting styles further and unleashes elite adversaries, like the blazing dragon Valstrax slicing across the sky. Mastering these advanced techniques while dismantling ever-tougher beasts raises the demand a notch. The profusion of monsters and the freedom of approach make it a culmination for seasoned hunters.

Better with friends

A Japanese pinnacle of the hunting formula, piling on combat styles, monsters and techniques for four-player hunts of dizzying richness. Cooperation becomes an art here: chaining hunting arts in synergy, covering the lulls and finishing with a grouped assault brings rare satisfaction. The breadth of content and the language demand investment, but seasoned hunters find an inexhaustible playground to share.

Is Monster Hunter XX - Double Cross still worth playing in 2026?

Released in 2017 on 3DS in Japan and known in the West as Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Capcom's project is the enhanced version of Generations, and the culmination of the hunting series on the handheld. The hunting styles and hunting arts gain new options, and the G rank adds monsters and quests formidable for veterans. The hunt, built on observation, preparation and the mastery of varied weapons, reaches here a colossal generosity. The austere interface and the high difficulty put off newcomers. A peak of the hunting game on 3DS, recommended for fans of technical combat and of cooperation.
