It's interesting that Capcom built Tri G on a new game engine when it isn't an obvious selling point. It looks like Capcom designed this game not just for the immediate benefit, but they're spending more time and money on this subtle thing so that future Monster Hunter games could be made cheaper and look better.

On the 3DS they don't have to pay for HD graphics either. Tri G might look a little cheap with all of the subspecies and all, but they can make new content for Monster Hunter 4 much more easily now.
