Tri G wasn't made for the Wii, it was made for Japan. In Japan, the series is most popular on portables. Tri was the most popular console Monster Hunter game even in Japan, but there were still so many unsold copies rotting on the shelves that they had to cut the price. It didn't live up to Capcom's expectations..

That's the same reason why Monster Hunter 4 is on the 3DS. It isn't about "non-gamers", it's about putting the games where the fans - the Japanese fans - are. Those fans aren't on the PS3 or the Wii.

For the record, Nintendo has asked players about ad-hoc party. Who knows, it may be possible that there could be a Tri G HD for the Wii U. That could also explain why Capcom can't talk about it (Wii U NDAs). But to think that Tri G being on 3DS was based off "non-gamers" is downright stupid notion.
