• No Export for You: A little under half the games are only available in Japan.
  • Also, unless you have custom firmware or a (friend with a) Japanese copy of the game, you can't get some of the extra goodies that come from Japanese-only download quests for the Freedom games. Some are joke items like a giant stuffed animal Hammer (Polytan) while others, like the Jolly Roger set, are quite useful.
  • Reversed in Monster Hunter Tri, in which you can get three exclusive fan-designed weapons only in the international version of the game. And the WiiSpeak support for online game.
    • Any event items in the game that aren't the same between regions each have a Japanese and a foreign variant. While the two versions are different in appearance, they have the exact same stats. For example, the Pirate Axe J has the exact same stats as the Sinister Saints.
• Fan Nicknames: The Monster Hunter series lends itself to fans creating short and/or outlandish nicknames due to the titular monsters having odd classifications and names. Examples:
  • Bananasaurus, Sponge, Spongebob: Royal Ludroth.
  • Jay Leno, Lenosaurus Rex or The Crimson Chin: Uragaan, for his prominent rocky chin.
  • Jhoassic Park, Halijhosis, Assjhole: Deviljho. The MOST common nickname however is G.I. Jhooooooooooooooooooooooooo -- and you're Cobra.
