Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
There's a Sekaijuu no Meikyu/Etrian Odyssey livestream on the 20th. It's going to be your lovely Atlus stream as usual with a touch of Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 bits, but I wonder if Atlus/Sega is going to continue the Etrian brand. It's not a huge brand, it has its fans, but this is probably one of the few surviving dual screen exclusives and the dual screen is dead.

It will. The series has been incredibly consistent and I would imagine profitable. Sometimes it is nice to have a small, guaranteed win as a publisher. It was one of the few series that saw virtually no drop in sales from DS to 3DS.

Can they make EO work on a single screen?
I haven't really sunk a decent amount of time into any of the games, so I'm unsure about that aspect.

There's a few things they can do, transparent map overlay, minimap, have half the screen taken up by the map.
For when you want to do Cartography, there shouldn't be any difficulty using an analog stick and a button even for filling in walls.
It might end up being slower though hence having shortcut buttons to switch quickly between paint floors or draw walls etc.
Plus, they made the game accessible for people that don't want to do that by having the option to have certain things fill automatically.

Using an analog stick to map things is technically possible, but it sounds like an absolute chore compared to touchscreen mapping

Yep. Just make a new IP/spiritual successor from the same team. EO without two screens isn't really EO.
turn the series into a dungeon crawler action rpg series then

They sold all Week 1 shipment quite a while ago, it was already at 309k by the end of the year, so there's already been several additional shipments.

Yes.
Wizardry 7 did fine without it and EO is essentially the successor to those early first-person dungeon crawlers.
Yeah, EU/NA numbers are going to be interesting. Really wasn't expecting a localisation at all, but hopefully the game being a RPG will help.
It will feel totally different though as EO main pull is how we draw the map during our adventure there.

I really expected a Switch remaster for this. I think the timing of its release was the game's biggest problem.
Monster Hunter Stories sold below Capcom's expectations, but shipment for the game wasn't big (~280k according to Media Create), it sold-through all the shipment and it was over 300k by the end of 2016.
It's an underperforming result, but not a bomba bin game like gaist crusher or others.

If it's getting a re-release with the new update I think we can safely assume that a G version isn't coming. I wonder what the optimistic plans for it were had it not underperformed.

Huh. That's a really weird number to come up with for each one, but I guess it does it's job? I dunno. Like you said it seems redundant. I don't know what info one can take away from that column.
And I got ya. That makes way more sense. Might undersell some of the games that have had super long legs at the top 20, but with that info given it helps clear up the context. Thank you.

Not out yet in EU nor any actual plan announced to air it
Any chance for a new EO announcement on the 10th anniversary event?
In North America, it's exclusive to a streaming service for anime fans, which caters to teenagers and adults.
To turn it into its own series, presumably so they don't have to keep cranking out revisions every 12 months.
Capcom must be pretty disapointed with it if they're doing a re-release and not an expansion. Even Gaist Crusher got the latter.

Anime is streaming on Crunchyroll in North America. New episode came out Saturday and the show right now is ranked the 49th most popular on the service (forget if it updates daily or hourly). It's not lighting up the charts to put nicely.

I see, disappointing for the anime...
I remember the impressions being good. Not complex, but a good RPG, and building nicely on the MonHun universe.

The investment into it is also far more significant though. Not only is it the company's strongest brand in Japan, but partners were really banking on the anime taking off too. The whole thing being kinda ho hum isn't a good look for the opportunity to diversify the MH brand and expand it across more demographics.

Not sure why Capcom should care about USFII Famitsu review score, tbh. People who really want it will buy it without reading any reviews because it's friggin' SFII. People who find it too expensive will wait anyway. People not interested are not gonna be swayed by a 40/40 (especially with how much value those have).
That being said, I'd love to read the comments about the Way of the Hado mode if there's any, out of curiosity.

Can anyone give a fair translation for this? Just to see how far Honkano is umping to conclusions based on his PlayStation-bias (or, well, if there's something true behind this, after all

The Google Translate isn't too bad. This is the headline.Can anyone give a fair translation for this? Just to see how far Honkano is umping to conclusions based on his PlayStation-bias (or, well, if there's something true behind this, after all
PSP3/Vita 2/PSE reveal at E3.
lololololololol
Welp, the new direct will be for arms, detective gaf was right
As I said it, mainly for Arms.
Yeah, I assume this could finally be the time for Splatoon 2 pre-orders to officially start. That or at least the official preorders starting day's announcement.

I am sure Japanese retailers don't want hassle with the chance of having to return customers money if the publisher decides not to ship the game.
As a switch owner I'll be saddened if this happens and it takes away a lot of Japanese support. However, As a former Vita owner though, I'd likely buy a Vita 2 on day 1 so the former wouldn't really affect me.
I really doubt it exists, however if it does, I think it is more likely to bolster Switch software development. They likely would not be too different in architecture, and it would be just as easy to support all 3 platforms.
Very good point!
Afaik no, Atlus is weirdly conservative when it comes to expanding their business for some reason. Or they're just plain lazy I don't know.
