Isn't that pretty obvious? DotNW is more or less the sequel to the most popular Tales game in the US (and the first serious Wii RPG). It would be somewhat disappointing if it sold less than Vesperia (from a business point of view).

I work in retail at GameStop. More people have been talking about and buying Vesperia than DotNW.

I'm not prepared to say that Vesperia actually did better but that's been my perception.

You don't try and throw out "facts" without evidence to support it.

So wait, Crystal Bearers isn't canceled?

Correct.

And in other news nobody has reason to doubt Dragona's future statements from now on.

Cant wait for the Crystal Defenders R1 port, might just wait for ps3 port though.

I'm still waiting for the FFIV: The After WiiWare announcement...

Or DSiWare...which then would be a disaster (as in, people will need to import DSi's)

Pole's Big Adventure (Sega) - WiiWare - 3rd Feb 2009
- Famicom style 2D action platformer
- Filled with in-jokes and gags which you have to discover in the stages
- Comedy action game

Wait, a new original platformer for WiiWare? Day one.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Wow at Bubble Bobble 4 players action, sold!

And is that a new Wiiware shoot em up (same scan, 100points, down-left)? :O
Can't find its name or if that's indeed a shmup.

If these are the types of numbers Namco's seeing these days for Tales, maybe another 360 title isn't out of the question. Good job on oversaturating the series.

I just never paid attention I'm not helping over here I guess. Bought it used. Not paying $70+tax for a game @_@

In that thread I got 'b-b-but Valkyria hasn't been released in Euro/US'. Of course, that bombed too in the US - 33k, and I think it'd be the same in Euro. At most Sega would have sold 200-250k worldwide.

Yeah, but I frankly prefer 2 million sales.

Hell, if the game sells 700,000 between Europe and America I will be happy.

Of course, if it sells terribly, expect a Valkyria Chornicles port to the 360 and a mutliplatform release for VC2, of course that is assuming they don't kill the franchise off right there. A strategy RPG with high production values was never destined for success.

After the fact, looks like the franchise's dead :lol Don't think Sega'd bother porting it to 360, the horse has bolted on that one (see VF5 port of failed sales) and VC2 looks almost dead unless the anime/manga/etc are wildly popular then there's a small chance

 

[vareon]

!!!!!

Got a feeling it'll be just an extended trailer, FFXIII style, but still it's good to hear some news about the game.

It's been nearly two years since the last trailer...I would hope we would get something new.

How about a Wii downport? Hey, if Capcom can do it...

:lol

At the very least, it's solid confirmation that the game's still alive and on the way.

Porting Valkyria to Wii wouldn't be hard at all I guess. 99% of the game consists of non-interactive cutscenes, and they should have been all prerendered, anyway (to keep actual gameplay assets in RAM and shorten loading times). The actual ingame graphics would need to be reworked, but judging by Kizuna, Wii is definitely powerful enough to emulate a similar look without making your eyes bleed. The much faster drive (relative to system RAM) would definitely come in handy, as would the pointer (map and menues, not to mention aiming) - a Wii version might be more playable and enjoyable than the PS3 version, even with downgraded ingame graphics.

But it would still bomb, so it won't happen.

Bubble Bobble Bump!


Famitsu has pics!

Was this already known or is this another case of a Dragona confirmation?
