Mario Maker, Sukiyaki, and Momotaro. Plus FFXV legs. December is going to be fun.

You forget Mario Party lol.......FF having legs?O_O

 

[Primethius]

I just had this thought as I played some Generations, and I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier (I'm sure others had, I just haven't gone into many Switch threads).

Haven't the chances of MH on PS4 gone drastically up given the type of console/handheld Switch is? I can finally retire all these different pads for my 3DS to raise the comfort level... maybe. T_T

Mario Party is out in October. As for FF, the legs will be fun to watch.

here's my interpretation:

Mario Maker, Sukiyaki, and Momotaro. Plus FFXV [lack of] legs. December is going to be fun.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Which part of the "NO NX NEWS" did you guys not get? >.<

Don't set yourself up for disappointment please.

It's possible. If Capcom are willing to foot the localisation and marketing bill for the Western version without Nintendo's help, it'll happen.

here's my interpretation:

Lolol. I can see that lol.^_^

??? I don't think we will get a PS4 game announced from a Direct here though?

 

[Ōkami]

Boy.

Call of Duty won't be getting a bundle in Japan this year, it's a Pro bundle in the west from what I know so I guess it makes sense as Sony isn't making the Pro a big deal in Japan.

 

[Primethius]

Lolol. I can see that lol.^_^

Not talking about the direct, just more generally.

 

[casiopao]

Not talking about the direct, just more generally.

Ohh. If that, it will depend on the situation then. If Capcom feel that Nintendo marketing help/push is not as important compared to releasing the game by their own via multiplatform, i can see Capcom releasing the game on PS4,Steam and X-1 too.^^ It is a highly risky move though.

 

[Square2015]

Mario Party is out in October. As for FF, the legs will be fun to watch.

FF15 will be extra front loaded because of its 11/28 release date. It wont be out on the usual Friday/Saturday but instead earlier in the week.

MHS looks to have solid legs, on digital at least. Great job.

That FFXV box is sexy

 

[BriBri]

How can you tell?

Two + weeks as number one implying at least a couple of thousand sales. Possibly more.

Where are those numbers from? What's the average digital sales for a new game in Japan?

 

[BriBri]

Where are those numbers from? What's the average digital sales for a new game in Japan?

Pocket Monsters VC sells around 20,000 per month all four colours. Yellow is the strongest and it (Monster Hunter Stories) is beating Yellow so I figure at least a couple of thousand.

 

[random25]

How can you tell?

2 weeks at #1. Now, I don't know how big it is or how it compares to its nearest competition, which is Pokemon Yellow. I just thought it would drop out as soon as the first week is over, given the solid positions of the older VC games on top 10.

Seems BriBri provides more context than I do.

 

[duckroll]

Pocket Monsters VC sells around 20,000 per month all four colours. Yellow is the strongest and it (Monster Hunter Stories) is beating Yellow so I figure at least a couple of thousand.

So based on that baseline, if it beats Yellow for a whole month it should do at least over 5k for the first month? How does that compare with other games? Are there PSN numbers to compare?

Nice.^_^ So we can actually kinda predict around 10k for Digital for MHS?

 

[BriBri]

5K absolute minimum. Last time I compiled the all-time Virtual Console charts (a month ago) it was:-

01. Super Mario Bros. (FC) - ¥514
02. Super Mario Bros. 3 (FC) - ¥514
03. Pocket Monsters Pikachu (GB) - ¥1,200
04. The Legend of Zelda: Link&#8217;s Awakening DX (GBC) - ¥617
05. Super Mario Land (GB) - ¥411
06. Pocket Monsters Red Version (GB) - ¥1,200
07. Super Mario Bros. 2 (FDS) - ¥514
08. Pocket Monsters Blue Version (GB) - ¥1,200
09. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB) - ¥411
10. The Legend of Zelda 1 (FDS) - ¥514
11. Hoshi no Kirby 2 (GB) - ¥411
12. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (GBC) - ¥617
13. Pocket Monsters Green Version (GB) - ¥1,200
14. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC) - ¥617
15. Hoshi no Kirby (GB) - ¥411
16. Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (GB) - ¥411
17. Metroid (FDS) - ¥514
18. Rockman 2 (FC) - ¥514
19. Ice Climber (FC) - ¥514
20. Donkey Kong (GB) - ¥309

Yellow>>the rest

Switch/Mobile release?

 

[L~A]

Level-5 sure has trouble launching stuff on mobile, heh? Even a port of an existing game from 2013 is delayed. By the way, I can't remember if this version is F2P or a Premium download?


Right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3DS version of The Snack World actually ended up releasing first because of Level-5's mobile delay-o-matic machine.

(Mobile: Spring, 3DS: Summer).

Fake edit: no leaks for this week's numbers? Oh, and hopefully MC keeps tracking PSVR.

 

[Kresnik258]

Right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3DS version of The Snack

They managed to get Wonderflick out for mobile and yet completely failed on all the console versions, so I wouldn't bet on that just yet.

The blog is talking about Wii U and One sales, I think in a bad way for both. That's all.

Tsutaya said that Battlefield had the best debut of the series (on their stores).

Wonderflicks launch was complete mess and the IP/project is dead now. No need to bring it to consoles when it bombs on mobile.

As cw_sasuke, Wonder Flick on mobile was failu on all fronts, not sure it's a good game to use as example. Besides, did we ever seen any footage at all from the console version? I remember a couple of screens, but that's it.

On the other hand, we saw what looked like a perfectly functional build during the Level-5 Vision 2016 conference.

No surprises for the XB1/Wii U. Sub 2k for the latter? [Fake edit: yup]

Talking of Wii U, Nintendo has sold 560 000 units during the current Fiscal Year. They have their forecast at 800k.

 

[hiska-kun]

XB1 was in a good way lol

 

[Aostia]

Yeah, I as crazy about doubting Switch from the MH Direct, right?

In the meantime:

Well Capcom stated they won't have any software for Switch at launch at today's investor meeting it seems. However they can always have a staggered release I guess..

LOL

and a rumor, from the same guy that anticipated MHXX, is saying that the series could jump back on Sony's hw (MH5 on PS4)
