Monster Hunter: 17 completely new = 17 total new Monster Hunter G: 1 completely new + 13 new subs = 14 total new Monster Hunter 2: 13 completely new + 1 new sub = 14 total new Monster Hunter 2nd G: 5 completely new + 4 new subs = 9 total new Monster Hunter 3: 15 completely new = 15 total new Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: 7 completely new + 10 new subs = 17 total new Average, all games listed: (17 + 14 + 14 + 9 + 15 + 17) / 6 = 14.3 Average, portable games only: (9 + 17) / 2 = 13 Average, G games only: ( 14 + 9) / 2 = 11.5

If my count is wrong, please correct me. I had counted subs as separate monsters from the start, in case you couldn't tell. By that measure Portable 3rd actually had MORE than 15 new monsters, and ONLY Freedom Unite (2nd G) was less than 14. Do you think my estimate was too high? I don't really think so.

Ignoring the math, though, I'm a little worried that Capcom hasn't announced much new content in this game. With their new policies of making quicker, cheaper games, they might not give us all of this stuff, and they might not give the gameplay additions they usually do. It's also on 3DS, which means it might not be as easy to import stuff from the PSP: they'd probably have to touch up the models and animations for it to look as good as the rest of the game.
