Try out the "Quest" and "Tournament" modes.

Capcom has released a downloadable demo for Monster Hunter Stories on the Nintendo eShop in Japan.

The demo features both “Quest” and “Tournament” modes. The former lets you experience one of the story quests of Monster Hunter Stories, while the latter lets you take on the single-player “Challenge Cup.”

Users who play the demo will be awarded the Rider costume for Nabiru for use in the full game when it launches in Japan on October 8.
