Artemis, except for the fact that the NGP releases in "Quarter 4 2011" (Most likely early December/Late November to hit the holiday season just right) and MHP3 will likely be out come late Q2/Early Q3 (Summer/Fall) at the latest, as they've never waited an entire year to release a MH in the US after release in JP. They usually go for a 9 month wait.

Also, they've yet to show anything about it being on NGP, but they have shown several other games as "new" for NGP. The only time they showed it on the NGP was to show that the NGP was backwards compatible.
