This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st of the one that started it all, Monster Hunter. In 2004 I caught excited whispers and game mag glimpses of a waking giant on the horizon. The fuzzy intel received: Capcom would be releasing a Japanese-only PS2 game where one tracked and killed kaiju in epic battles of attrition. An impulse import purchase was made, and, about a hundred hours later, I managed to overcome a Fatalis-sized language barrier (and fangs and claws) to achieve victory in my first Monster Hunter of many.

Fast forward 20 years, and I somehow got to sit down for a chat with one of the key individuals responsible for my younger self's torment and triumphs, Series Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. When I whipped out my original PS2 copy and explained the origins of how I became hooked on his franchise, despite such a hostile introduction to it, he was delighted—perplexed that I even attempted such a thing, but delighted.
