Why is Derby Stallion still there? WHY

The Japanese charts are so unpredictable sometimes.

 

[Arde5643]

Not that it matters, but this is actually called "Hana Yori Dango"

Konami releases a Shoujo game? :lol

 

[Flakster99]

Wii software sales continue to spit in the face of all reason and logic.

What is this market coming to when console owners are buying software, on their own validity at that.

6. [WII] Biohazard Zero (Capcom) - 21,000

Wow, 21,000 in four days.

Biohazard Remake Wii
Biohazard 2 Wii
Biohazard 3 Wii
Biohazard Code Veronica Wii

Coming Soon

 

[-WindYoshi-]

I can't believe cvxfreak bought 21,000 copies of BioHazard 0.

:lol

 

[Regulus Tera]

Forgive my Juniorness, but are 21,000 copies enough for Biohazard 0 Wii? How much did Biohazard 4 Wii did last year?

 

[Joule]

Woohoo at Persona 4 being in first place. How many copies did P3 end up selling overall in Japan?

210-230k iirc. So this is quite a improvement. Go Persona, Kick It!

 

[schuelma]

Forgive my Juniorness, but are 21,000 copies enough for Biohazard 0 Wii? How much did Biohazard 4 Wii did last year?

Absolutely. Biohazard 4 at least had significantly changed Wii controls. This was literally a straight port of a game that 400 thousand GC owners already owned.

5. [NDS] Daiasso Band Brothers (Nintendo) - 23,000 / 190,000

It's Daigasso.

But good for DBBDX, it's going to beat out the original. Now localize it, dammit! I'm still waiting for Jam with the Band!

 

[Pachael]

Isn't that franchise long finished?!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Hana Yori Dango? No way.

The did two series of live-action dramas with popular actors in recent years and a movie that concludes the dramas is in theatres right now. It is as popular as it ever has been.

 

[Flakster99]

Wanted to thank cvxfreak for posting the thread in recent weeks, but I do miss me some cheese and Pac-Man.

Lol. You should see his shipment to his America apartment. It is even bigger than the ET landslide

I am really surprised with the 21K figure. I thought it will only do 10K or less. I guess Capcom KNEW that there is a RE fan base on Wii. Will Capcom release more RE games on Wii ?

you shouldn't play with people's heart, you know. Especially the bolded part.

First week : 46.8 K (Famitsu). On a much smaller H/W base.
The fact that is RE0 is impressive is that there was ZERO improvement over the RE0 GCN version. RE4 Wii at least have significiant improvement over RE4 GC (wii mote, additional scenario, movie player etc).

RE2 was partially recreated in REUC, and yes it hurts so much not having the whole game remade =(

 

[Phife Dawg]

Apart from P4 a pretty slow week. P4 does phenomenal though.

I'm only doing it for you all. I really am!

So RE4 Wii brought us DR. What will RE0 bring us in terms of ports?

There are more Wiimotes too... omg PS3 fail!

Are you insinuating the PS3 is not a failure in Japan?

Why is Derby Stallion still there? WHY

Huh, that series used to be pretty big, this is more a return to form, not something unpredictable. Even the PSP one sold more than 100k.

 

[Hurricane_Chris]

It's actually pretty neat. I'm playing it now.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Great opening for P4. PS2 is going to have a huge chunk of this weeks software percentage. It's strange how big of a drop MHP2ndG had recently. The DS might be above the PSP in HW this week.

 

[Vinci]

Wii software sales continue to spit in the face of all old reason and old logic.

Fixed, 'cause seriously Iwata covered this pretty effectively in the sales update that was E3.

Compared to a lot of million-sellers WiiFit's in itself isn't very impressive. However, I just realized that's a ton of Balance Boards. 0_0

No, no. It's more than a ton. Can someone tell us exactly how much that number of balance boards weighs? I'd like an accurate amount of tonnage here.

 

[Dascu]

So RE4 Wii brought us DR. What will RE0 bring us in terms of ports?

PN03 Wii, I hope.

 

[Vinci]

In case anyone was really curious, there are approximately 11,579 tons of balance boards in Japan. Does that count as a megaton or not?

I don't see why DS would've had a boost, I doubt PSP dropped much because of MHP2G being #10.

 

[lupinko]

When will PS2 get another no. 1? More than 8 years after release, f'ing incredible.

Super Robot Wars Z, this fall.

 

[tehbear]

This is several kilotons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega-

no.

but it's 11 mega-kilos!

 

[Kaworu]

PERSONA 4 fucking obliterates Persona 3 or FES at PS2@2008. I love Atlus.

 

[Galactic Fork]

I don't see why DS would've had a boost, I doubt PSP dropped much because of MHP2G being #10.

It's not necessarily because of MH that the PSP will drop, it's been dipping down pretty steadily lately. the difference was only 9k last week. Doesn't take much of a bump or dip to cross each other. And the DS is back to taking up half the top 10. I don't think it's out of the question.

 

[Kinan]

This is several kilotons.

Well, "Little Boy" was like 13-16 kilotons only, so its not that far off.

 

[Vinci]

This is several kilotons.

I was speaking in gamer vernacular, but that's good to know as well.

Payday for Capcom! Ok, it might not be on the list next week, but the developement costs must have been incredibly low, right?

 

[Phife Dawg]

PN03 Wii, I hope.

Could never get into that one.

From what I understand they just remapped the controls - that's it.

Sorry. Posted the thread from a school computer with a broken G button.

 

[manueldelalas]

LOST PLANET MOVIE!! (yep, Wii will play DVDs, brought by Capcom)

 

[ivysaur12]

Famitsu has Tales a 11k. Once it gets to 200k, I'll be happy.

 

[CTLance]

Not to offend anyone, but I miss Cheesemeisters OPs and PantherLotus' charts. Where are JJSlone and donny when we need them? I'm utterly helpless at this stuff as long as someone isn't holding my hand. This thread is so empty. Curse you, E3! Curse youuuuu!

Also, someone lure Vinnk away from his loving wife and demanding job. I want more Village reports.

Good job, cvxfreak, at both the OP and your continued Capcom support.

Famitsu has PSP ahead by 10k units

PSP: 57.000
DSL: 47.000
Wii: 41.000
PS3: 14.000
PS2: 11.000
360: 2.700

but the difference in MC can be quite huge

[yoopoo]

Dead Rising is a test to see if another RE game will come to Wii, possibly RE5.

 

[Yaweee]

Is that Atlus' biggest launch ever? It is nice to see the company finally seeing some big hits; unless I'm mistaken, P3/FES, TC Wii, EO2 and now Persona 4 are their most succesful titles ever?

This is pleasing; more capital means more development, and I think we're very likely to see a third RPG franchise from the company soon (in addition to SMT and EO).

 

[Soule]

By the time this gen is over Capcom will probably still be giving the Wii tests.

 

[kottila]

How many more test before an original, mainline big game?

 

[Yaweee]

Doesn't Monster Hunter 3 count, or is that not 'original'?

 

[borghe]

don't know. we'll need more testing to determine how much more testing is needed.

 

[Joule]

I can't imagine what they'd create but now I can't stop thinking about it.

 

[Yaweee]

I can't imagine what they'd create but now I can't stop thinking about it.

They could cram a new sub-genre under the SMT umbrella; so far there is 3-D dungeon crawling, action-RPG, strategy-RPG, medieval-RPG, pokemon-style RPG, FF-style RPG, and social-sim-RPG, while EO is basically a return to the first person wizardry-style roots minus demon fusing but plus a lot of the amenities the series has added over the years.

The holes in their... "coverage" are card-RPGs, or something with a drastically different battle system like you'd see from recent Square or Sting. They could also do a genuine SMT rogue-like, which would be fucking fantastic. Play a demon and have the option of 'fusing' with any corpse that you come across? Yes, please!

 

[Vinnk]

PN03 Wii, I hope.

I'd buy that at full price Day 1.

But everyone else would buy it for 500yen Day 2.

Also, someone lure Vinnk away from his loving wife and demanding job. I want more Village reports.

Ok. What would you guys like to know this week?

I wasn't really thinking about that sort of coverage rather the themes and setting of a new rpg line. In this sense I couldn't begin to imagine what'd they try next.

A card-rpg or a rogue-like would be interesting (though the later might even more sadistic than a usual SMT).

There are some parts of the SMT line that could use a returning to like Soul Hackers or hell I'd like to see what a new Majin Tensei would be like. I know some others would also like DemiKids DS.

After the test is before the test.
