Support NeoGAF

Cool, hope it does as well or better in NA.

More games should aim for this type of budget. From 1-3 million USD. Like in good old PS1 days. So you don't have to sell 1m+ just to make your money back

Japan calls them "handheld games".

 

[Minions]

Great news, game looks great. Can't wait to pick it up.

 

[TaroYamada]

Great news and well deserved, I want more games like this!

 

[nampad]

Good news. Still can't believe their budget was only $1 million.

Just import from Play Asia for the Asia/English version or videogamesplus for US or whatever.

Or support NISA for bringing it over to Europe?

Yeah I'm just gonna wait until it drops in Europe. That's what I did with Demon's Souls too. Hopefully the art book comes as a standard to compensate for the delay.

Too put that n some perspective Dead Space 3 took a month (Global triple A release) 600k....

300k in 1 week is amazing for a Vanillaware game (or any for that matter)!

 

[QP3]

I think I have finally been sold on this one. Will pick it up sometime next week. From what I read, seems like a good developer to support too!

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Who would've thought Sex sells!

Eh.........not necessarily all the time. If that was the case, all developers would put sexy women or even men into their games and sell millions of copies then.






I am looking forward to this game. Looks really good.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Great, i had vita version yesterday.
now release Grand Knight History for US pls

 

[zero shift]

Maybe you should play it yourself and form your own opinion? =D

I think it's a fuckin great game

Never understood the hate Vanillaware games get. I thought Muramasa was fantastic. I mean its no 2D devil may cry but its a good modern rendition of game like Ninja Spirit and Shinobi. People claim that they like this games and want a return to them and when they do they are disappointed.

Sure but how much are your employees getting paid?

You could triple that $1 to 3 million figure and the point would still be there. There is no reason for this "games must cost at least $30 million" mentality.

PS3/Vita dual release is working great for mid-range publishers.

121,000 PS3 units, but I don't know about Vita. It sold ~75k on Vita so using mathematics and the sell though I posted above, you can probably come up with a fairly decent guess. I'd do it myself but it's too early for maths.

Fuck it:

02./00. [PS3] Dragon's Crown <ACT> (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 104.359 / NEW <94,73%>
03./00. [PSV] Dragon's Crown <ACT> (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 71.083 / NEW <83,38%>

That's easier to read than my meandering nonsense.

Those are fantastic sell-through numbers.
