When a new game is announced, one of the first questions every fan asks is which edition is available. When Monster Hunter Wilds’ release date was announced as February 28th, it also brought with it news of three versions of the game targeting North American users. Japan will be receiving two different special editions for Monster Hunter Wilds, and they certainly live up to the “wild” name. The smaller edition includes a pouch and plush toy, while the larger edition includes a folding bike. .
The North American version of Monster Hunter Wilds is fairly standard. The Standard Edition of the game costs US$69.99, while the Deluxe Edition for US$89.99 adds the “Deluxe Pack”, which includes armor for the Hunter and Palico, Seikret decorations, and hairstyles. , gestures, face paint, pendant, hunter profile plaque, and sticker set. Additionally, the Premium Deluxe Edition includes more layers of armor, the “Proof of a Hero” music track (recorded in 2025), backgrounds, poses and nameplates for the Hunter profile, and two cosmetic DLC packs (scheduled for Spring and Summer 2025). there is. Released) The price is US$109.99. That’s a lot of zeny, but it’s also a lot of bonuses with the game. But two exclusive special editions from Japan blew ours out of the water.
The Japanese Collector’s Edition of Monster Hunter Wilds comes with an adorable Seikret plush, a Seikret-themed pouch, and a steel case for the game. The price before upgrading the game to the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe Edition is 17,690 yen. The game edition costs approximately US$123 at the time of announcement. But what if you want to hunt monsters on a bike rather than a Sacred? Well, the Ultra Collector’s Edition includes everything. In addition to all the above benefits, this edition includes a full-fledged 9-speed folding bike. For the game’s standard edition, this bundle costs 181,590 yen (approximately US$1,265)!
Spending more than $1,000 on a video game collector’s bundle may seem outrageous, but the price is (unsurprisingly) mostly for the bike. The bike itself is actually available for pre-order on Capcom’s Japanese webstore, priced at 165,000 yen (US). $1,149). These special editions are more similar to special bundles, as the regular Collector’s Edition merchandise is also available as a “merchandise set” on Capcom’s Japanese webstore for those looking to import it.
Cycling is incredibly popular in Japan, and folding bikes like this are incredibly convenient as they can be as small as a briefcase, and of course they’re not available in North American special editions. With the yen strengthening in recent months, now may not be the best time to import Monster Hunter Wilds Ultra Collector’s Edition. But for plush toy lovers, the Collector’s Edition doesn’t look too shabby and could have been a nice optional edition upgrade for players in the Pacific region.
