No doubt, though, the otome market has shrunk from PSP -> Vita. I'm wondering where it's going to head after Vita to be honest. Given how adamantly they've been clinging to PSP, I'd imagine it's not something we'll have to worry about any time soon though.
Well, if there's no deal with Nintendo then it seems reasonable to have it on as many platforms as possible. Especially with the show expanding to the west, the game should be on more than just a dedicated handheld. Depends on how much they want to push the brand over here.
Mobile really is the most obvious answer for this demographic though.
There's a deal with Nintendo at least as far as the west goes (and this would then have reverse repercussions on handling of the brand in Japan as you don't just sign one way deals like this) because they are the ones handling the publishing, localization (?), and distribution outside of Japan. So expanding in the west is expansion done under Nintendo, similar to MonHun's western expansion being done under partnership with Nintendo.
Isn't that deal just for the current 3DS game(s) though? Not the whole IP and future games.
They already announced several Yokai Watch mobile games.Well, if there's no deal with Nintendo then it seems reasonable to have it on as many platforms as possible.

There's Yokai Watch Puni Puni which is basically Disney Tsum Tsum, a second dancing app that IIRC is a rhythm game this time, and then a dictionary app thingy.They have? I must of missed that - Romance Kingdom, Yokai Watch 3, Busters - I thought that was it.

The GAF threads never got any traffic because mobile games are limited in popularity here and there was nothing people were outraged about like Fantasy Life or Layton.
Mobile was definitely the theme of the day at that conference though.
Hino has laid out Level 5's business strategy in a pretty straightforward manner recently.Thanks for clear-up, didn't know or didn't remember there were mobile games that were announced as well.
It seems like Level 5 are running their own The Pokemon Company with the Yokai Watch IP lol
minus the lawsuits ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

How do you think Resident Evil 7 will be handled? All of Capcom's games have either been exclusive and/or something low risk like digital only or F2P. I imagine they would want it to be a full blown AAA title but would they be able to pull that off on their own?I feel their comments sum up Capcom's modern state quite well. DMC and offline focused Dragon's Dogma make no sense for a digital heavy service game company, but a series that sells 6-7 million a mainline entry is too much to give up.
Hino has laid out Level 5's business strategy in a pretty straightforward manner recently.
Hino views the 3DS as the best way to reach Japanese children, and has made lots of Yokai Watch products plus Snack World toward this end.
Hino views mobile as the best way to reach older audiences, and has revamped Layton and Fantasy Life toward this end. He also views it as a pretty strong way to reach children, hence Snack World and the Yokai Watch apps.
He hasn't really commented on PS4 business wise, which makes me suspect he understands it's the most expensive platform on which to reach Japanese gamers, and also the one with the smallest audience, so presumably their game is either a vanity title and/or something they hope also has big appeal overseas.

Capcom doesn't actually have financial issues. They're just very risk averse because their previous four business strategies blew up in their face.How do you think Resident Evil 7 will be handled?

Pretty straight forward and logical - I don't think Level 5 would have entered the PS4 business without a co-production (partnership) agreement.
Level 5 like their partnerships and it wouldn't make sense for them to act alone on that front.
On Capcom, I'm of the opinion they need to merge with a bigger player, but alas that is another discussion entirely
Their management lack leadership skills and a clear vision, it just seems they are trying to adapt to the marketplace by trying everything and seeing what sticks on the wall - what they don't realize is by doing so, they risk damaging the value of their IP.
I realize their behavior makes them look like they have serious issues, but it's one of those cases where it's more of an illusion.
They seem to have found something they like at the moment with their digital business and service games, and appear to be making money.
Sure, they're not going to have much presence in top shelf AAA retail going forward, but I'm not sure they care at this point.
What annoys me is how people don't realise that this is exactly what is going on with Konami as well but everyone acts like they're about to / should go under because of their business decisions.

Q: Is there a new Soul Sacrifice in the works?
A: Try asking Sony Computer Entertainment. Im also waiting.
Since we don´t know Tsutayas expectations it´s pretty much useless information to me. The only interesting thing about the statement is that at Tsutaya stores Winning Eleven (PS3) charted higher than Tokyo Xanadu, considering predictions and performance of the Winning Eleven at ComG have been quite disappointing. Interestingly enough at ComG Tokyo Xanady charted better, with a more favourable "points" allocation compared to single Winning Eleven SKUs.

poor inafune
It seems they are attempting to reach the Activision Blizzard business model but they don't have know how, or executive leadership to help guide them through that transition.
Mobile failed, Monster Hunter Online failed to kick off, etc.
Konami have been praising the mobile tune since 2012 - their strategy hasn't changed since, nothing new under the sun lol
People don't like it
If Chris can't make the thread tonight (or today depending on where you are lol), I can't either.
According to Dengeki Harada says he has big news about console version of Tekken but not yet.
So any takers?

Kusoge of this year ;(here's your PS4 big holiday seller :^)

Yeah.so today's the day of PS4 cut price spike, right?
Only other I think does it is Road and once in a blue moon, me.
I can give it a crack, no promises though.
Hiska, or anyone else, feel like taking some of the weight off my back by sending me the new titles and whatnot of the expected games to chart this week?
I usually just piece together what we have and go by the Japanese names. If I don't have the exact translations, I usually end up just giving it the closest translations I can.

QuinRose's problem is that they switch from PSP > Vita too late.
They are still releasing PSP game this year, their first Vita game as late as this April.
It also just a PSP port, since then they released 9 old port and only 1 new title for Vita.
Moreover, their games got very poor reception from otome(s).
Won 2ch worst otome game of the year 3 years in a row.
Gonna be an epic AAA PS4 RPG directed by Matsuno with Yoshida character designs and Yoshida/Minaba art direction, and Sakimoto music. Get hyped!!!!!!!
Mobile game.
o god I guess time to set expectations to below zeroGonna be an epic AAA PS4 RPG directed by Matsuno with Yoshida character designs and Yoshida/Minaba art direction, and Sakimoto music. Get hyped!!!!!!!

Where is the NX version ? Everything should be NX.
This is the hardware that will be both usable as a handheld and a home console and revitalizes the dedicated gaming device market in Japan no way anyone would skip that for their next AAA project !
So any estimates, expectations for PS4 this week?
There is nothing to push it besides the price cut right?
Still I think 25k is achieveable.
