Portable 3rd sold five times as much as Tri did in Japan. To most Monster Hunter players, the Tri exclusive monsters and Tri exclusive features are "new". If this game comes out of Japan, all of the Portable 3rd monsters will be "new".

I don't think this game will add a lot of new features because they don't have to - I know I'll buy it if it comes out here. Hopefully I'm wrong and they'll announce some more new things other than the touch screen.
