He pretends to have invented things he didn't.

I think Megaman is one of them.
Probably Mega Man? He's often called the father of Mega Man, though he was brought in when the first game was well underway. I don't think Inafune himself makes that claim, though.
I believe Hideki Kamiya said the same thing about him that Nirolak did, albeit in fewer words. He's a great businessman, but he isn't actually a creative guy.
#troll
Edit: I think Inafune has shown to be a great director, manager and business man in the games industry, but yes, that's different from innovating. The games he is most proud of, the Zero series are the most refined versions of his Mega Man games.
He has outright done interviews stating he did not create MegaMan.
And the whole 'Inafune isn't a creative' is bullocks. He has done a lot of creative work within his games, from guiding game design to artwork to conceptualization. He's not as in the trenches as some developers but he's hardly a glorified producer either.
Yeah, that's what I was talking about.
On the subject of Capcom, I wonder if they'll make another portable Sengoku Basara spinoff after this. They wouldn't have to compromise the gameplay on the Vita, but they don't seem to have any interest in the system at all. They could go with the 3DS, but the series doesn't seem like a good fit.
He also wasn't actually the main creative force behind Dead Rising to my understanding.
Yes he's gotten more open about that.
Fraud is a bit strong perhaps haha.
He never said, or attempted to create the impression that he was, I'm sure the only thing stopping that perception (because it was 'his team') from being dispelled is someone not having asked that question yet. Having 'gotten a bit more open' about MegaMan means having specifically delineated when he came on board and that the character was already conceptualized when he came on board (he 'named names' in tat his mentor is known), so there's no reason to assume that he'd be relatively guarded about Dead Risings creation either.
Inafune said:
This quote dove tails nicely into rebutting the whole 'Inafune isn't a creative'. Yes, among many other thing, he designs characters and started as an artist at Capcom, guys.

At the same time, isn't he doing a kickstarter that probably wouldn't get the same level of attention if he didn't previously have his name attached to megaman?
Uh, yes? Various times, specially pre-release.

man this is depressing to look at
Siesta Fiesta the sleeper hit of year.
Uh, seriously? Virtual console? It would be funnier if people were serious...
He;s also the only reason that we were getting MegaMan titles period, for some time, at Capcom. The franchise was his baby since he basically took control of it and protected it from the rest of the executive board at Capcom. There's a reason that Legends 3 and that other game were canned almost at the same time that his departure was made public.
People like to hate on Inafune for... basically no reason. I mean sure, outsourcing, but he's also the one that really forced Capcom to modernize their production pipelines (MTFramework) and fought long and hard (and lost) for the consistent creation of new IP.
I bought the famitsu's magazine and the top 30 is there.
Too bad they don't have figures for november... It seems they'll be missing forever
I'm sorry but I can't post the top 30 today. i'm really busy and need to do some work. In fact, I shouldn't be here now. Tomorrow I post it.
The system went through a long period of selling much less than 20k, so expectations changed. The huge failure of the Wii U and (to a much lesser extent) the decline of the 3DS have also served to change the way that 20k is viewed.
Growth is generally seen as a good thing for a platform. It's unlikely to have its legs chopped out from under whilst it is on an upwards trajectory.

Saying Vita "is in beastmode" is real funny, in a tragic sort of ways.
Well... at least it's not as bad as it used to be. Has it been stabilized on these sort of range in terms of numbers, I wonder.
And hopefully folks in Japan continue to create more content for it, since I lost hope for Western developers that are not Sony's 1st party (even them perhaps) or Indie.

Wait. DQX for Wii U being the best selling title digitally?
Bravely Default in top 10?
Zelda third even if only one week of availability was counted...and during the whole eShop Christmas disaster?!?
...Maybe I've underestimated Nintendo's audience about buying games online, after all. Wow.
Ah, this seems it hasn't been discussed yet, and I feel it's better to post here instead of doing a whole thread just for this little blurb.

If it does it'll eventually recover. Look at PS4's launch lineup/launch window, it has no games(that people want to buy a system for).

Failing below 30k is nearly certain - but as long as they can sell 1.5-2 milions in first year it wll be big boost to Japanise market.

Now that they have observed the success of Puzzle & Dragons Z, the number of companies who have approached Nintendo with an offer to provide Nintendo 3DS with the titles which they originally designed for and grew on smart devices has been increasing. - Iwata
Get ready for Dragon Quest Monsters Super Heavy.
Get ready for Dragon Quest Monsters Super Heavy.
Biggest month of the year and these are the numbers?
Digital sales in Japan are a factor only when huge games like Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter are sold out.
Why? Japan is ready for a Super Heavy Dragon Quest Monsters 2 3D

Not that surprising given it was out for a month.
It was tracked for 11 days, but it is impressive as is FFX/X-2.
Well if they make a good game like what P&DZ seemingly is on the 3DS, then they could have similar success stories.
Is it the best-selling remaster in Japan now?

Get ready for a bunch of people to have a change of heart on mobile games more like.
Mario Kart for Golden Week and then Smash maybe for holidays? Iwata unveiled again his unexpected plan for Wii U.
I think he finally realized it's just a bad product with no possibilities of recover and will treat it like GameCube. Keep it in life support until it dies.

Would Tales of Graces f or Samurai Warriors 3 PS3 count as an HD Remasters?

Unless they're turned into "full" games like PDZ, I can't see anyone (reasonable) suddenly change their stance on mobile games. And then it wouldn't be mobile games anymore.

Isn't it available as an expansion digitally (if you own Flying Fairy on cart you can get for the sequel download cheaper) which adds some appeal to the digital version which the physical version can't touch.
That's impressive.
I thought that was a separate download/expansion pack and not counted as the actual game.
It's really cool that we actually get digital sales numbers for Japan now. Really, really cool!
Soon, we'll even have a Top 30.
I hope the rest of the world will follow what Famitsu's doing. Having more concrete digital numbers from all around the globe would be amazing.

Agreed. I wish NPD had this kind of relationship with Sony / Nintendo...it's annoying that we still can't get full digital numbers for North American eShop / PSN sales.

Its relative to previous performance, as SmokeyDave said. There were a lot of talk about early discontinuing of the Vita in 2012. The recent sales performance shows that this is unlikely to happen in Japan.
People who said that Vita is in beastmode wasnt serious though, its just a joke or humorous hyperbole.
