Marvelous Cuts Back On Game Development, Focuses Efforts On PSP
By Spencer . May 25, 2010 . 3:03am

Marvelous, after docking executive pay and selling off Rising Star Games, is scaling back video game development. The Valhalla Knights and No More Heroes publisher only has ten packaged games planned for fiscal year 2011 – that’s the period between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

Four of those games are for PSP. Delayed games, Ikki Tousen: Xross Impact and Fate/Extra account for half of that number. That means two PSP games are in the works plus two Wii games and two PlayStation 3 titles.

Actually, make that one unannounced PS3 title. No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, which was also held back for the current fiscal year, wrestled its way into stores in April. The No More Heroes port is also Marvelous’ only Xbox 360 game for this year.

Marvelous used to support the Nintendo DS with a stream of strategy RPGs and farming sims. Not this year. Harvest Moon: Twins’ Village will be their only DS title. Like most of their 2010 lineup, Harvest Moon: Twins’ Village also slipped into this fiscal period.

So, Marvelous has five games left to reveal. I’m betting one of the PSP games is a Hitman Reborn fighting game. Marvelous releases at least one of those every year. The other four titles – two Wii, one PSP, and one PS3 game are anyone’s guess.

I think they lost money? The white triangle thing is negative. Bttb had posted the results but he deleted everything...

 

[Cosmonaut X]

From that news piece, it looks more like a focus on Wii and PSP - two new titles this year - with the tilt to PSP explained by the delay of a couple of titles scheduled from last year. Given the sales figures there, that seems reasonable.

Surprised to see how well (well, comparatively, at least) Marvelous' Wii titles have done in Europe - will be interesting to see how binning Rising Star affects that.

 

[Oxx]

Didn't Harvest Moon used to sell quite well in Europe?

I'm assuming their 4 DS titles in Europe includes at least one HM game.

Marvelous business run-down for the last 8 quarters(Red is Profits, Blue is sales)
it's really depressing one of the great risk takes in the japanese market is now basically being reduced now to a third rate pushing out anime-based games.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

[PS3] Lost Planet 2 (Capcom) - 91k (shipped first day 93k)
[360] Lost Planet 2 (Capcom) - 34k (shipped first day 35k)
Totally sold out or just coincidence? It'd be really funny if LP2 manages to bomb in the west now and does pretty respectable in Japan.

[PS3] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010: Aoki Samurai no Chousen (Konami) - 58k
[PSP] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010: Aoki Samurai no Chousen (Konami) - 22k
[PS2] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010: Aoki Samurai no Chousen (Konami) - 14k
162k PS3 and 71k PSP units shipped first day was just unnecessary Konami. It has 6-7 weeks before WC buzz taps off so no need to overship...I wonder if impatient retailers will slash the price before the WC starts given the stock available :lol

[PSP] Fullmetal Alchemist: Yakusoku no Hi e (Bandai Namco Games) - 21k
Well, not bad weekend growth at all, it went above previous PSP game and it came close to selling out the first shipment (22k).

Wait, let me get this straight. The only game that sold any "significant" number for Marvelous in NA was FS&R? And it only sold 3k? wow.

Lost Planet 2 has already bombed in Europe and I don't see how it won't bomb in the U.S. (at least comparing to Capcom expectations). Next and bigger bomb for Capcom -> Dead Rising 2.

The only DS game published by MEU.

But I don't know what you're talking about, 3k?

Spoiler

It's 11k. My bad.

Random Question:

When are we going to find out even , hazy figures, on how much sales/ money Chaos rings has made? As Wada has stated in the latest interview it's huge step forward for the company, very curisous as to how it does.

I've read through Anoop's Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Preview today and as I'm a little late on this I don't know if this has been asked yet:

I've read several times that people here expect Capcom to follow MHTri with MH3G but now that MHP3rd has been shown to be something new rather than an update of Tri what do you expect MH3G to be like? Simple update to Tri like MHG was to MH1, adaption of MHP3rd or something completely different?
