Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Transfer Save Data

[Nancie Fazzari]

MonsterHunter Generations Ultimate is available now on Nintendo Switch, and players who owned the 3DS version can transfer their old save file to the hybrid console to continue their quest to become the strongest hunter.

The original 3DS version released back in July 2016, so there's likely plenty of players out there with data from the original Monster Hunter Generations game. Capcom and Nintendo have made it relatively simple to transfer that data from to the Switch version.

With the Western guide out, though, I figured it would be good to do a separate article on it, just to avoid confusion (especially given that Capcom opted not to release the 3DS version of Generations Ultimate in the West). On that note, here are the steps you need to take to transfer your save data from MHG on the 3DS to MHGU on the Switch. Before doing anything, make sure your Nintendo account on your 3DS and Switch are linked to avoid any hiccups.

Once the transfer is complete, you can go to the Main Menu on your Switch and pick Continue. The game will then load your last save data from the 3DS. Your Hunter will still be loaded by default even if you last played as a cat on your 3DS.

You also will get the chance to fully edit your character once more, including his or her face, hair, voice, hair style, etc. You can even change his or her gender, which will convert the gear you have to the appropriate male or female version.

The Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Data Transfer Program allows you to link up both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and transfer your save data between the two. This allows you to play on Wii U then continue your game on Nintendo 3DS, and vice versa.

After save data has been transferred from Wii U to Nintendo 3DS, the save file on Wii U will be temporarily locked, preventing you from progressing in the game using this save file. Once you have transferred your save data back from Nintendo 3DS to Wii U, you will be able to continue playing your save file on Wii U.

After save data has been transferred from Nintendo 3DS to Wii U, the save file on Nintendo 3DS will be deleted. Once you have transferred your save data back from Wii U to Nintendo 3DS, you will be able to continue playing your save file on Nintendo 3DS.

Capcom's popular monster hunting series arrived on Nintendo Switch this week with the worldwide release of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, an expanded port of 3DS's Monster Hunter Generations. If you've already sunk a considerable amount of time into the 3DS version and don't want to start over, you can transfer your progress to the Switch game and carry on with the same hunter. Doing so is a fairly straightforward process, but there are quite a few steps you'll need to follow, which is why we've put together this handy guide to help you along.

To transfer your 3DS save data to the new Switch game, you'll first need to install the Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Save Data Transfer App on 3DS. You can download the app for free from the 3DS Eshop or directly on Nintendo's website. Once that has been installed, launch the Save Data Transfer App, then choose the option to link your 3DS and Switch systems. This will generate a transfer password. Be advised that you'll need to have an internet connection in order to generate a password.

Once that step has been completed, the Save Data Transfer App will display a new option that says "show transfer password." Select this, then choose the Data Transfer option from the main menu of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on Switch. Select the option to link your 3DS and Switch, then input the transfer password when prompted to establish a link between the consoles.

With those preliminary steps out of the way, you'll now be able to actually send your save data over to the Switch game. Return to the Sava Data Transfer App on 3DS. Click the "save data transfer" option, then choose to send your data when prompted. Back on Switch, select Data Transfer from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate's main menu once again and choose the option to "receive save data." Your progress will then be carried over.

Once you've transferred your save file, you'll be able to use your same hunter and equipment in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on Switch. While most of your data carries over, there are a small handful of exceptions, such as Hunters for Hire quest and Meownster Hunter expedition progress. You can read more about the process on the official Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate website.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is very much a classic Monster Hunter game, rather than the simplified iteration that released earlier this year for home consoles.

With Monster Hunter finally making its way over to Nintendo Switch, you might be thinking of picking up Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

You see Monster Hunter generations was first released on 3DS back in 2016, for American audiences that is. An expanded version, Monster Hunter XX, was then released for 3DS in Japan, though never made its way West. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a port of this expanded version, given a bit of polish and some extra content. It's very much a portable iteration of the franchise, so you shouldn't go in expecting Monster Hunter World Levels of detail. Still, the combat is deeper, there are more monsters to hunt, and plenty of cool armor to craft.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate boasts a huge selection of monsters to slay. There's 93 of them in total, with many being brand new to the series. You can check out a full list of the monsters in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate below:

At Monster Hunter Championship 2017, Capcom announced the Switch version will release on August 25 in Japan, Gematsu reports. Additionally, the Switch version will support internet cross-play with the 3DS version, as well as 1080p resolution support, and four-player local and online play.

Players will also be able to transfer their save data back and forth between the 3DS and Switch versions of Monster Hunter XX. Those who wish to transfer their Monster Hunter Generations data can do so to the Switch version of Monster Hunter XX, but not the other way around.

Monster Hunter XX was announced for Nintendo Switch in Japan just a few days ago. For those unfamiliar, XX is an updated version of Monster Hunter X (known as Monster Hunter Generations in the west). Capcom has yet to say whether or not Monster Hunter XX will make its way to Switch owners in the west.

Following the announcement of Monster Hunter XX on Switch, Famitsu has its first coverage of the new version this week. The magazine mainly tackles the controls and information about save transfers, but we also have a couple of tidbits about improvements plus screenshots.

Players will be able to transfer save data from Monster Hunter Generations (3DS, Japanese version) to Monster Hunter XX on Switch. You can also transfer the same content which you can move from Monster Hunter Generations (3DS, Japanese version) to XX (3DS).
