Because it hasnt sold 60M units?

This feels like such a missed opportunity to help sales of the NS. Also including an NS at least would have been good.

Can't wait for the next one.

Then I guess we`ll find out january 12th.

Sweet news, the smartest decision to include 3DS as it still sells amazingly on that device, and would most likely never get that level of success on any other current device.

I know NS fans will be a bit hurt by this, but 3DS right now is still strong, it has good year left worth of software sales in Japan. 

For 3DS. And maybe Switch.
Too bad for those expecting on other consoles since that forecast months ago.

You're both wrong, Capcom is desperately trying to avoid upgrading the graphics from PS2 quality. It's why they jumped from PS2 to PSP, then Wii, then Wii U/3DS. The only chance they had to upgrade the graphics was Wii U, but they justified not doing so because the game was just a remaster of Tri. 

Thought to see announcement of monster hunter 5

I hope Capcom is working on an NS version aswell, some of this scenes with an higher resolution would be pretty amazing.

Also the sequel to this game is set to be pretty lewd :p
