Considering how large the franchise has become, I wouldn't be surprised of maybe a multi-platform release for the handheld versions. So possibly a 3DS/PSP 2 release in the next couple of years. Considering he mentions 3DS, I think we can at least guess they are thinking about it. However, I don't think anyone every doubted that one of the now biggest franchises in Japan would eventually move over to a Nintendo handheld. Seemed inevitable.
Personally, what I would expect is just to see some ports of older MH games on PSP to the 3DS to start off. Make some cash obviously for Capcom to prepare for the next big handheld MH game. And as I said earlier, seems like the best decision for the next one would be to go multi-plat. Of course, this could all change depending on if someone gets their hands on some exclusivity. Already see Nintendo work to get not only MH Tri on Wii, but work for a huge marketing push in the west which was relatively successful. Think what we can assume from that at least, is that any MH home console games in the future will be on a NIntendo system. Maybe Sony or Nintendo will try something similar with the handheld ones but I think it'll end up multi-plat. Wishful thinking in the end haha but it would best for everyone.
