Monster Hunter Generations hasn't been out long, and it'll be interesting to see whether it can achieve similar success in the West to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which was touted as a breakthrough release. In Japan, however, there's never any question over whether a major MH title will do well - the franchise remains hugely bankable in the country.
Capcom doesn't miss a trick in promoting the series in its homeland either, with multiple releases not seen in the West along with various tie-ins / events. One of the biggest occasions is MHFesta, an expo for all things Monster Hunter.
Capcom Europe has put together a nice video to show what the 2016 event was all about; it looks amazing for fans of the series.
Arrekz Gaming also has a video from the event (below), while Gaijin Hunter makes a cameo in Capcom's tour; the link for the latter YouTuber will take you to a list of amazing tips videos for Generations.
Do you hope to go to MHFesta some day, or have you already been? Let us know in the comments.

Oh man, Ntneod should have at least announced NX before this, you can't tell me there isn't an NX MH in the works, its one of the biggest series on 3DS. Missed opportunity.
Isn't that Madonna's bra on that Felyne's head in the thumbnail?
this game has it's own expo?! wow.
I agree with @rjejr; there are probably only 1 or 2 titles coming to the West for 3DS now that its lifespan is ending. It makes perfect sense to have a MH as a launch title for the NX and introduce it earlier. (Plus, Nintendo is skipping the Tokyo Game Show as well as not unveiling the NX at E3! People won't know about the games if developers don't talk about them. 3-4 minutes in a Direct segment isn't going to get the job done.)
I just started MH4 today. Not sure if I'll be able to finish it before the NX comes out xD
Agree with you all guys, MH is a must in NX. That said in the closer future, Capcom should release the G Rank as DLC for MHGenerations and not as a new title.
Wish I could hit that for the merch alone!
@Frank90
As DLC. Yes. Please. This. G rank.
@BensonUii Lady Gaga is more current, that's for sure. I checked and the Madonna bra was in 1990. Getting so old...
Launch NX with Monster Hunter Generations G and right away best selling system in Japan at least. Especially with the portable aspect.
Also explicit body reactions to all this MH.
@Frank90 That would be great. SO much better than having to go back all the way through high rank. I'd easily pay 20 bucks for G-rank.
