It's not, and that prediction is absurd anyway.
he just wants to believe, bro
This one is good lol
I know it's hyperbole, but how worse their franchise milking really?
I think they mentioned another version coming out this year without actually announcing anything, and that was before the current game gained traction.

This time they will put all 5 Youkai watch games scheduled for 2014 on one platform instead of jumping from one machine to other.

I agree... but there is some truth to it as well

I found it charming, if simple. The battle system is not very exciting and feels rather shallow. The Youkai themselves are nice, but I found there were too many recolors and too few evolutions over all.
Considering how popular both of the game and the anime, it safe to assume that it's decent at the very least.

Don't mix hate with rediculling something for being parody of it former self.
Glad they finally dated this. Has over my dead body 2 been dates yet?
Played the demo a while back and found it perfect... for 8 year old boys.
Boring stuff.
Interesting. Late june/1st two weeks of July is usually one of the busiest periods for the 3DS (well, it was the last two years).
And hurrah for Youkai Watch. Looks like 1 million LTD isn't that farfetched after all.
It's not really hate. It's hard not to poke fun at L5's handling of their three flagship IPs in the last few years, particularly LBX.
But as you said, they did better with Fantasy Life and Link!. I also heard that Wonder Flick is a genuinely fun title, and I really wanted to try that if it's released in English.
Youkai Watch follows the same pattern as the 1st Inazuma Eleven, I'm just hoping they'll handle it better.
Oh, I just found out the Youkai Watch anime is changing time slot next month, it will air at 6.30PM instead of 7PM.
No idea if it's a better slot or not, but since the anime is getting even more popular...

Online and 8 players patch to follow. And it's a first-party game.
Sounds like a rushed release, soon we will know why.
Same happened with God Eater 2, Namco didn't want to miss the holiday season and Vita TV week.
EDIT: WTF when did I get this tag? :lol
PS4.

100k is a clear difference? Really now, so what about Xillia2 vs Graces, where's the difference there? Shouldn't Xillia2 outsell Graces by a wide margin since its exclusive?
So, looks like the X1 will be released this September in Japan. Guess we should expect some sort of JP-focused announcements soon... maybe... dunno.

Tsutaya's weekly report: http://mantan-web.jp/2014/03/18/20140318dog00m200028000c.html
Google Translator:
- DS2 sold more than expected and more than DS1
- DS2 sold more than #2 to #10 combined
- DS2 had less pre-orders than DS1, most buyers didn't pre-order the game

Three months does seem a little rushed.
It takes two to tango. Years of neglect from studios on HD/console front have left very few delolers able to offer compelling console experiences. Even the big guys are stumbling hard, and finding it harder than it should be to develops next gen games.
Case in point nothing worthwhile being offered on PS4 at launch, leading to bad hardware sales, leading to a greater shift to mobile. Repeat.
There will be some lamenting once they realize mobile is much more hit or miss business model. By then, they might have to rebuild the console space from scratch. Which might not be a bad thing, since the old gaurd hasn't exactly been a gold stewerd.
As expected, yet another boring week.... which means Youkai Watch should be #2 again
Oh, and new Gundam game announced for the 3DS (from Famitsu)
As much of a hit as LBX.
Ground Zeroes numbers are released next week.
I'm wondering how much of a boost PS4 got from Titanfall in Japan. The UK numbers went up 72% or something.

In the thread about how X1 sales had a 96% bump on UK someone posted a tweet (from the editor of some magazine) that his retail source said there was a 72% bump for the PS4.
He won't understand the joke if he wasn't on that thread xD

Ah, thanks. I hadn't looked at that thread. Makes sense, just thought it was a typo since Titanfall is launching for 360 at some point in JP.
EDIT: Checked, it's March 27th apparently. So, next week.

New Love Plus (3DS) 10/10/9/9
New Love Plus+ (3DS) 10/9/9/9
So the sequel is even more bugged?

Excited to see if this time it reaches solid 18fps. A little step for Namco, a giant step for game development.

About time.
sigh we've been over this. Adding Graces (wii + PS3 ) is not a fair comparison since many may have double dipped due to the extra content. Furthermore I have no reason to believe Xillia 2 has the same selling power as a new mothership title. Just watch how Tales of Zestiria does.

actually - the price adjustment might be starting now - Tokio has it for a low price and whilst i didn't get round all the other stores, most usually start following suit. Will check today.
3480 is bomba bins?
Games in Japan are expensive as hell.
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
not particularly - just that most other places have had MH4 at around the upper end of 4000 or the lower end of 5000.
It's a great price point for anyone who hasn't got it - 3480 is below the second hand prices in most places!
and yes - Japanese games are expensive.

So three 3DS cardass games in the span of one week? Holy shit.
Also, damn, so much for Shin Budokai 3D eh BN? Well it took two Toriko games before they brought a proper game that was a sequel to the MH clone games on PSP to 3DS.
Safe to say Ultimate Mission 2 is going to bring in the big bucks. The original had monster legs for the series. Battle for Z did awful numbers.
Also the scans show screens and they show some kind of comparison between UM1 and UM2, and it looks much better now. But seriously the SAME shot? Is this an expansion?
