Holy crap at Monster Hunter!

[Fularu]

MHP2G seems to do about the same as MHP2 on opening week. Good for the PSP.

I wonder if there will be a surge or if we can safely assume that the people bying 2G are people who own 2 already.

[Error]

Monster Hunter :bow

[TheExodu5]

Holy shit.

[Grimmy]

TALES OF REBIRTH isn't a PS2 game. At least not this one.

[Osuwari]

whoa. that monster hunter opening was huge.

also, looks like ssbb is past ssbm now(would be good if someone could confirm it)
i wonder how long until it passes ssb64.

i also see some of the usual suspects there...

[Kagari]

Ahaha, I wish I could post this MH ad I have, but no scans :(

[_leech_]

01./00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (Capcom) - 880,000 / NEW

[Firestorm]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has officially passed Melee in Japan.

[Die Squirrel Die]

Ahaha, I wish I could post this MH ad I have, but no scans :(

I don't think the no scans rule applies to adverts, just editorial content from magazines.

However, I would check with a mod first. Don't get banned on account of me giving you incorrect information.

[Tenbatsu]

[AniHawk]

whoa. that monster hunter opening was huge. also, looks like ssbb is past ssbm now(would be good if someone could confirm it) i wonder how long until it passes ssb64.

I'm gonna guess (if it has the legs of Wii Sports or Mario Kart DS), that it does it sometime around November or December.

[Blablurn]

big drop for yakuza :<

but monster hunter is a real beast!

[titiklabingapat]

I didn't even realize that Wii Fit's install base is approaching 2M already!

[Cheesemeister]

TALES OF REBIRTH isn't a PS2 game. At least not this one.

I can't make this stuff up.

[Narag]

Does anyone have any impressions of the Gundam 00 game? Last I saw, the GAF thread had something like 5 posts, 4 of which by the op.

[AlphaSnake]

Jesus Christ, Monster Hunter....

[sprsk]

Adverts are fine.

[dr3upmushroom]

is the Monster Hunter game an expansion or full game?

[lyre]

Does this mean 2G is PSP's 3rd official non-game?

Irregardless, keep steamrolling that DS.

[gconsole]

is the Monster Hunter game an expansion or full game?

Expansion.

[schuelma]

I'm gonna guess (if it has the legs of Wii Sports or Mario Kart DS), that it does it sometime around November or December.

Brawl?

Famitsu has it at 1.55M, and I think the original is less than a 100K more than that. Should do it in 3-4 weeks.

[Linkzg]

03./00. [NDS] Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Bandai-Namco) - 49,000 / NEW

you dont deserve this.

01./00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (Capcom) - 880,000 / NEW

you do.

[EmCeeGramr]

I wonder if ds game budgets allow for a game selling 50,000 to be a success.

[DMPrince]

holy shit @ MH

[Kagari]

Adverts are fine.

So if I post this MH ad I scanned from Famitsu you wont ban me? XD

[BlackGoku03]

Didn't know they made a Code Geass game. I wonder when it'll come to the states...

Anyone know? I know the series hasn't been licensed yet...

[xero273]

I know the series hasn't been licensed yet...

The series has already been licensed

[Arsenic]

Well, hopefully hardware numbers will be interesting tomorrow

[schuelma]

Well, hopefully hardware numbers will be interesting tomorrow

I predict the PSP sells somewhere around 139K. ;)

[dr3upmushroom]

Expansion.

Wow.

[AniHawk]

Brawl? Famitsu has it at 1.55M, and I think the original is less than a 100K more than that. Should do it in 3-4 weeks.

The Magic Box has it at 1.97m, which is what I was going off of.

[Narag]

Didn't know they made a Code Geass game. I wonder when it'll come to the states... Anyone know? I know the series hasn't been licensed yet...

It starts on Adult Swim on the 26th iirc.

[BlackGoku03]

The series has already been licensed

Already? Who got it?


Nevermind... looked it up... they even got the second season licensed already I see.

[schuelma]

The Magic Box has it at 1.97m, which is what I was going off of.

Wow that high? Well if that's the real number, then yeah I'd agree with the time frame you said.

[diddlyD]

I wonder if ds game budgets allow for a game selling 50,000 to be a success.

ds carts cost 5-10 dollars to manufacture, depending on size of the rom and amount of backup flash ram. if they sell at retail for about 30 bucks, then you could roughly guess the publisher is making 10-15 bucks per cart. so if the budget is half a mil or less, 50,000 units would at least break even.

[Kagari]

MONSTER HUNTER!!!!111!!!!!



I loled at this ad for it.

[Defuser]

Didn't know they made a Code Geass game. I wonder when it'll come to the states...

HAHAHA!!! HOHOHO!!!!

Yeah right.

[RiskyChris]

There's a DS shin chan game? Cool.

I hear the show is like 1000000x different than the adult swim version because of cultural jokes.

[BlackGoku03]

HAHAHA!!! HOHOHO!!!! Yeah right.

Don't do that to me. :(

[jibblypop]

I wonder if Monster Hunter will display the legs of the previous titles. Even if it doesn't it wouldn't matter since those sales are HUGE! It almost seems like the PSP is slowly improving on the software front.. it has 5 titles in the top 30. Was it always like that? I thought I remember it only having 1 or 2 in the top 30 for a while there.

Wiifit is showing the same legs that Wiisports had/has and should keep selling for ages. Brawl is holding on well too. That is a great pair of games to satisfy both audiences Nintendo is aiming for (with some crossover hopefully)

[icecream]

21./00. [PS2] Kimi ga Shu de Shitsuji ga Ore de: Otsukae Nikki

It's Aruji.

Didn't know they made a Code Geass game. I wonder when it'll come to the states...

I don't think this would be the type of game that sells in the states.

[dk_]

What... whaaat? 90% of those games are garbage.

[Colonel Mustard]

Aside from Mario Party, is Deca Sports the highest selling Hudson game this (or last) gen? It's having some pretty great legs.

Game looks pretty nice.

[Cheesemeister]

It's Aruji.

Thanks, fixed. You can probably tell I don't watch anime.

[polg]

Is Sim City DS 2 worth it? Is it better than 1?

[tetrisgrammaton]

is it just me or is deca sports the oddest combination of sports ever?

[OokieSpookie]

You bastards are going to make me try out one of the Monster Hunter games on psp aren't you...

[perfectchaos007]

Holy Carp!
