Coming from Capcom's financial statement...
Additionally, the lower-priced "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G Best Price!" (for Nintendo 3DS) also enjoyed steady growth. b. Furthermore, "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G HD Ver.", our first title for the new console "Wii U", which was launched in December 2012, also became a smash hit.

I hope it does pretty well in America as well...means we may see MH4 here in America and maybe even a Wii U port of it!
I don't get why people are so exicted about this game. It's an enhanced port of the Wii game Monster Hunter Tri, right?
I have it, the limited time I have put into it, I have enjoyed very much. What's so different about this game on Wii U and 3DS?
Can't wait for Tri Ultimate in march. Still hoping we get a bundle deal and I'll buy both the Wii U and 3DS versions.
50% more content including monsters and armor and a new area to explore. And HD graphics and the ability to play it handheld on the gamepad. And the online features probably work better including the built in gamepad mic support. And the Wii U/3DS versions interact so you can have local multiplayer (and I think online co-op play but not sure) which is awesome if you have people to play with. Its the most enhanced port in the history of ports (that I can think of). Plus more sales increases chances of 4 hitting Wii U. Buy 10.
