Used market is still a big thing, no?Bloody insane we're still getting this sort of line in digital era.

I'd agree with this but we're dealing with Nintendo's awful digital license system. Physical or nothing.

I don't know. People buy Madden every year, CoD every year, AssCreed every year, etc. I think we're just as bad over here. Probably even worse. At least MonHon has additional content making it worth double dipping on a expansion.
And didn't Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk all have to take a break for the same reason?
It's actually much better, because at least Monster Hunter games have actual improvements between them.

GOTY and remaster editions doesnt really contain any extra content that cant be purchased seperately for the main game. That is his main complaint is, that you cant buy the extra content seperately for Monster Hunter. You must buy a full priced new game to get the extra content.
That said, as someone mentioned above here, sports games gets annual releases and those are popular. As long as people see the value, things will sell.
So does the sport games (besides the legacy versions that are marked as such, they only contain rooster update).

Why didn't they release this back in July when I was in Japan ;_;
There's also the fact that the Japanese market just doesn't like digital particularly much, especially compared to the West. This is also why games that are digital-only outside of Japan getting physical releases isn't unheard of (i.e., Skullgirls: 2nd Encore, Strider).

I love seeing people this eager to play a new game. I only just got into MH recently and am playing Freedom Unite, but I'm really starting to think I have been missing out on something great all these years. Super challenging and satisfying when I get stuff done right after multiple attempts/strategies. Thankfully I already have 3 for Wii U and 4 for 3DS waiting when I am ready for the next one.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It's cool to see so many people excited for a game. Reminds me of the good ol' days of Japanese gaming.

Err, "Japan lines up for Monster Hunter X"?
I'm guessing you're talking to the 'same game' people.
Yeah man, it's still the same game. New gimmicks and a barroth thingo on the cover that will be the HR2 monster that will be a wall for new players that will be fun to cart to with the french players. jues et monte!! ...pardon.
Game is still about hitting and not getting hit w/ lotsa grind for dat desire sensor gem of unobtainium.
Will only buy this if it gets localized day 1 digital and will only play 300 hours of it. Disgusting capcpom get your act together.

Actually, they apparently changed the upgrade system so you don't ever need a single specific part to upgrade

Nobody should be embracing Nintendo's poor digital practices.
That won't stop the desire sensor from fucking you over

Seems like a while since I last saw a "Japan lines up for ________" thread. Have I simply not being enough attention, or has there not been much worth lining up for lately, or are these becoming legitimately less common?

Not much to line up for lately, plus the gradual shift to digital been taking the wind out of its sales.
You are going to see it quite a lot next year too lol.
DQ 11, Youkai Watch 3, Pokemon Z(maybe).
Those 3 is going to for kill lol.
Been a large lack of line up worthy titles in recent times

I'm still kinda surprised they haven't announced this for the west yet. Feels like a no brainer after how well MH4U did.

That's not Yoshiki and Toshi...
Apparently you only need materials of a certain quality/type rather than specific parts to upgrade gear. So any part that falls under that quality/type of material will work for the upgrade.

When will Japan embrace the digital future? Preload and play at midnight. Japan has got to have some sexy internet speeds and unlimited bandwidth, right?

So like, it used to require a Spark Lance to make a Lightning Lance, but now you can make it from a Spark Rifle instead?

Clearly you need to try harder.
But to be fair, don't expect to ace all the combos in a quick 30 minutes demo. First you need to enjoy the game, do you like awesome boss battles and strategy? If so, stick with it and soon you will understand how combat works. Awesome takes practice.
