《魔物獵人 XX Nintendo Switch 版》（Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate / モンスターハンターダブルクロス Nintendo Switch Ver.）是由CAPCOM開發的狩獵動作遊戲，原先於2017年在3DS上推出，隨後於同年8月移植至Switch平台，並加強畫面表現與支援HD解析度。作為《魔物獵人X》（Monster Hunter Generations）的加強版，除了保留原作內容，還新增更多魔物、風格、狩技、任務與挑戰要素，是系列在掌機世代的集大成作品。

雖不像傳統RPG那樣有完整主線劇情，而是以自由接案與探索的方式進行，但在世界觀與狩獵文化的呈現上依舊豐富。玩家扮演的獵人身處一個以狩獵大型魔物維持生態平衡的世界，透過接受各種任務，挑戰強大的魔物，收集素材打造裝備，逐步成為頂尖獵人。Switch版同樣沿用多村體系，包含波凱村、可可特村、與優克摩村等風格各異的村落，每個地區都有獨特任務與場景。追加要素中最受矚目的是新登場的“鏖魔迪亞波洛斯”、“天慧龍”與歷代復活的多款經典魔物，例如銀火龍、金火龍、轟龍等，讓資深玩家大呼過癮。

操作方面，Switch版延續系列核心的“觀察、閃避、反擊”節奏型戰鬥設計，同時加入更多客製化選項。從多種武器中選擇，如大劍、太刀、弓箭、雙劍、銃槍等，每種武器有獨特的出招邏輯與動作連段。更重要的是導入“狩獵風格”與“狩技”兩大系統，讓玩家針對個人喜好調整戰鬥方式。狩獵風格共有六種：強調氣勢與連段的“勇猛風格”、靈活躲避與反擊的“迅捷風格”、以支援為主的“援護風格”等等，加上新的“勇氣風格”與“煉獄風格”帶來更具戰術性的變化。狩技則是戰鬥中累積能量後使用的必殺技，能造成大範圍傷害或提供防禦、強化等效果，讓戰鬥流程更具爽感與變化。

Switch版除支援HD畫質，畫面更加清晰銳利，魔物與場景的細節也有明顯提升，尤其是在大型魔物的特寫鏡頭與戰鬥動作呈現上更具張力。操作體驗方面，由於Switch具備更大的按鍵與螢幕尺寸，使操控比3DS更舒適直覺。亦支援多人連線，無論是本地合作還是線上四人共鬥，都可隨時揪團狩獵，重現系列經典的共鬥魅力。此外，若有3DS版本的存檔，可以轉移至Switch繼續使用，延續裝備與進度，對老玩家極具吸引力。

在市場評價方面，在日本上市後銷量表現亮眼，首週便售出超過八萬套，後續累積突破數十萬。遊戲媒體普遍給予正面評價，特別是在內容豐富與狩獵自由度方面。日本《Fami通》給予35/40分，讚賞其魔物種類之多、玩法變化靈活、風格與狩技設計令人上癮，並強調Switch平台使得畫面升級與操作改善明顯。歐美市場雖對畫面仍為舊世代架構有些保留，但IGN給出8.3分，認為本作是魔物獵人老玩家的盛宴，堪稱系列的“終極懷舊版”，內容量豐富到足以遊玩上百小時。GameSpot則給予7/10分，指出其豐富多變的任務、龐大的裝備製作系統，以及精緻的打擊回饋讓人欲罷不能。

總體而言，《魔物獵人XX Nintendo Switch版》是為系列忠實粉絲打造的內容強化型作品，無論是新加入的風格與狩技、還是歷代魔物的回歸，皆展現出開發團隊對系列玩法的深刻理解與延續。儘管在技術層面上仍保留部分掌機限制，但透過Switch平台的升級與操作改良，使其成為一款值得長時間投入的狩獵動作遊戲。對喜歡魔物獵人系統性培養與合作戰鬥的玩家來說，堪稱“經典重塑”，絕對值得擁有。

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Japanese title: モンスターハンターダブルクロス Nintendo Switch Ver.) is a hunting action game developed by CAPCOM. Originally released in 2017 for the Nintendo 3DS, it was later ported to the Nintendo Switch in August of the same year with enhanced visuals and HD resolution support. As an expanded version of Monster Hunter Generations, it retains the original content while adding even more monsters, hunting styles, hunter arts, quests, and challenge elements. This installment is often considered the definitive hunting experience of the series’ handheld era.

Unlike traditional RPGs, the game does not follow a single linear storyline. Instead, players take on quests freely and explore at their own pace. The narrative focus is more on world-building and the culture of monster hunting. Players assume the role of a hunter living in a world where maintaining ecological balance means taking down powerful monsters. By accepting missions, collecting materials, and crafting equipment, hunters progressively strengthen their skills and rise through the ranks. The Switch version features the return of multiple villages from past games, including Bherna Village, Kokoto, and Yukumo, each offering unique environments and quests. Among the newly added content are fearsome monsters like Bloodbath Diablos and Valstrax, alongside returning fan-favorites such as Silver Rathalos, Gold Rathian, and Tigrex—sure to delight series veterans.

Gameplay maintains the series’ signature combat loop of observation, evasion, and counterattack. Players can choose from a wide array of weapons—such as great swords, long swords, bows, dual blades, gunlances, and more—each with unique move sets and combo mechanics. Central to the enhanced customization is the introduction of Hunting Styles and Hunter Arts. There are six hunting styles in total, each catering to different play preferences. For instance, “Valor Style” emphasizes precision and momentum, “Adept Style” rewards well-timed dodges with powerful counters, while “Support Style” focuses on aiding allies. The new “Brave” and “Alchemy” styles add even more tactical depth. Hunter Arts, which are special moves activated after building up energy, offer a wide range of effects—from massive damage attacks to buffs and defensive abilities—bringing variety and excitement to each battle.

The Switch version benefits from HD visuals, offering crisper graphics and greater detail, especially noticeable in close-ups of large monsters and dynamic combat animations. The improved resolution and larger screen also contribute to a more immersive experience compared to the 3DS. Controls feel more intuitive thanks to the larger buttons and ergonomic design of the Switch. Multiplayer is a key feature of the game, supporting both local and online co-op for up to four players. The game also allows data transfer from the 3DS version, enabling veteran players to carry over their equipment and progress.

In terms of market reception, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate saw strong initial sales in Japan, with over 80,000 units sold in its first week and hundreds of thousands more in the following months. Critics generally responded positively, highlighting the game’s sheer volume of content and the freedom it gives players in how they approach hunts. Japan’s Famitsu magazine gave it a score of 35/40, praising its variety of monsters, flexible gameplay styles, and the addictive design of its combat system. The Switch version’s visual upgrades and improved controls were also well received. In Western markets, while some critics noted the game still reflects its handheld origins in terms of graphics, it was nonetheless praised for its depth and nostalgic value. IGN awarded it an 8.3/10, calling it a “feast for veteran hunters” and a worthy, content-rich package capable of providing hundreds of hours of gameplay. GameSpot gave it a 7/10, commending its varied missions, extensive crafting system, and satisfying combat feedback.

Overall, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for Nintendo Switch is a content-rich, enhanced version tailored for die-hard fans of the series. Whether through its new hunting styles and arts, the return of classic monsters, or the improved visuals and controls, it showcases the developers’ deep understanding and respect for the franchise’s roots. While it may still carry some technical limitations from its handheld origins, the Switch upgrade transforms it into a robust and enduring hunting experience. For players who enjoy strategic progression and cooperative monster slaying, it stands as a classic reborn—and one well worth owning.
