,,Install base issues". You know, these are flagship franchises, so they are supposed to create the install base. In particular Mario has been far from strong, since as their biggest IP it completely failed to properly sell consoles. WiiU Mario games other than Kart all failed to outsell even Sunshine because they have become super bland games, which probably all look the same to non-enthusiast gamers since NSMBU. Equally, as already pointed out by another poster, that's why Bomba Splash is a trainwreck even in comparison with the GCN game. You can only spin that with ,,install base" so much. The game simply is unappealing and hurting the overall brand.

Well back when 40m was announced the PS4 was averaging 205k a week in 2016, or 820k a month. Keeping that average (unlikely as summer sees less consoles sold) would mean it's closer to 44m.
Yes because the Wii U is the only system Nintendo released this generation and every game they released is terrible.

Most WiiU games aren't very remarkable, that's why the console failed this badly. If NX has a similar library and games with a similar direction as on WiiU, it will fail just as badly and major franchises will diminish even further. Most of Nintendo's franchises need a complete overhaul/modernization like Zelda to stay relevant.

That's pretty intriguing I say. Do you care to expand on your perspective? I've never heard that viewpoint before.

I didn't ask you to repeat the same thing. You're still ignoring the 3DS where the vast majority of those franchises did really well, even when they were worse than their Wii U counterparts quality wise.
The shitty clones on the eShop have probably outsold the non-Vita versions at this point.
It's this generations Monster Hunter not on DS.
So... Minecraft is going Nintendo-exclusive on the NX?
I knew Microsoft was in for the long con...
They might put in some exclusive Nintendo/Pokemon characters to put it over the edge or something, but no. I meant something in Japan that would have been on one platform if it was strong enough to run it. Minecraft is a step ahead of stuff like MH in that its a game that's better the more multiplatform it is.
Not sure if you're aware(you probably are) but Minecraft Wii U already has Mario stuff. They should do Zelda on NX.

I would say Splatoon is the only Wii U game that could be considered remarkable.
All other releases are either "you can get similar experience on the 3DS" (Kart, Smash etc) or "never heard of this" (W101, Bayo etc).

What a silly way to diminish amazing games and put a system down.
Because you can play DKCR on 3ds, DKC tropical freeze is somehow less remarkable in its craftsmanship and design?

Any judgment on Mario Maker? I think it did a pretty good job for what it was, a level maker. Sure it wasn't Splatoon in Japan, but if I'm not mistaken, it outsold Splatoon in the US and hit 1M before Splatoon did in the US. It also was Nintendo's first big venture into a game largely built on an online community.
Also, Monster Hunter Stories had a softer drop. Hopefully it continues that behavior....

I am not sure what u wanted to talk here lol.
Sales? Game quality? Ur own taste?
I mean, Yoshi Wooly World on Wii U is really such a sublime experience that it is worthy to be moved to 3DS.
Xenoblade Chronicle X is also damn successful outside of Japan here.

Amazing numbers for PSVR in Japan, this bodes well for WW sales.
and there were posters expecting 150k-200k for 2016.
I say PSVR should be around 1.5m for 2016 2.5 by march 2017.

I think next couple of weeks numbers are going to be equally important.. If i remember correctly PS Vita launched with some impressive first week number but after that it was all downhill.
Even if PSVR sells 0 units after the first week, 51k is a good result for what it is in Japan. I don't think there's anything of importance beyond that because I don't really think VR has a real future in the Japanese market. What I'm interested in, is how PSVR influences the PS4 Pro adoption rate in Nov.

I don't think next weeks numbers for PSVR will be very good, it's been sold out since launch and it doesn't seem like there has been a second shipment yet.
In today's news (well, yesterday's technically), Japan's Financial Services Agency just found out about that wonderful thing called paid in-game currency :3

Well yes, that's why I wished we had a more recent comparison. The closest thing is probably Kinect but that had nowhere near the same level of 3rd party support lined up behind it. Actually neither did PCE CD, Mega CD or even arguably FDS.
And Silicon Studio which means everyone's favourite franchise is making an appearance.....
Terrace Battle!

... but why? It didn't light the world up in sales anywhere, lol.
They're in the tech partners section. If Bravely Default is happening, it'd be under Square Enix in the publisher section.

Yo! Watch Hino make a new YW game and make the Switch sell millions.
I meant Terra Battle because they are partnering with Mistwalker but my phone autocorrected.
I'm honestly expecting Level 5 to announce a Switch port of Lady Layton, Inazuma Aries, Snack World, that robot game thing and maybe even Ni no Kuni 2 at a later point.

To me Nintendo Switch looks like a very risky concept for Japanese market as I can't see how it doesn't cost at least $299. We know how 3DS struggled (for Nintendo handheld in Japan) when they priced it at $249. Considering how important market Japan is for Nintendo they better hope that people are willing to spent some extra money this time around.

It's possible that a port was planned from the beginning back when the system was launching this year.
There is no way NNK2 doesnt hit the Switch in my opinion.
Port wont be too expensive and if they can launch it around the system launch it should sell well enough because of the less crowded market.
Doubt it will be that expensive and even so Switch already looks better than the 3DS did at launch - not even including the games. New Zelda, Mario, Splatoon etc. likely in the first couple months. Also no need to buy an extra home system for the TV.

Couldn't it be their next project ?
They're a small team and are supposed to have short dev cycles, so a late 2017 release (PS4/SW + PSV maybe) for their next game doesn't seem that unlikely.
For Setsuna it seems way too late for a port and the game didn't sell that much to begin with so it seems like a fruitless effort.
Possibly, yes.

Just kinda feel like the ship has sailed for this particular title, better to get their next game on board and try to make it a bigger success than Setsuna was.
