I think improving the gameplay would be a good start. Every review I've read for the MH games states that they're overly simplistic, and that it takes forever to kill anything. Perhaps making a faster-paced, Diablo-style game would help.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
