Why Monster Hunter Tri G is being made for the 3DS

During an investor’s briefing a couple of weeks ago, Capcom was asked why Monster Hunter Tri G is being made for the 3DS.

The company said:

“First, we believe that using the Nintendo 3DS will allow us to offer new types of expressions, game play action and enjoyment for the ‘Monster Hunter’ series, which has attracted a broader range of user segments. In addition, we selected this platform with the goal of reaching a diverse spectrum of customer segments, including current users of the ‘Monster Hunter’ series as well as people who have portable game consoles.”
