but no legs, hopefully the rumour about the online patch releasing tomorrow is true.
They're basically going to show up so the niche developers they're signing can sell to a small local market as well.
It's also a nice gesture toward their Japanese third parties even if they're selling next to nothing.
I can't imagine this launch costs them much.
Delayed. They found a bug, no ETA.

Didn't Nintendo already start giving away copies of Yoshi's New Island in their buy a 3DS LL and get a free game promotion, even before the retail release of the game? I'm sure that probably cut into sales a bit for the game,
It is included for July and August:

Yes and no. You can choose to download the full-version of a game from the e-shop starting in August(needs to be redeemed by the end of this month), but you only get to keep the full game for two-months, after which point you can purchase it for 40% off the regular price. Yeah...

Maybe with digital, Oreshika is already above the first two entries?

Yoshi
Headmaster of Console Warrior Jugendstrafanstalt
Considering the game seemingly did decent in the US and Europe, maybe western gamers just had finer tastes. Considering how many people neither bought YIDS, now YNI, a lot of people got fooled twice in every region though
.Island series is that bad?
Yoshi
Headmaster of Console Warrior Jugendstrafanstalt
No. It's just not doing all too much new and is a safe successor to the original Yoshi's Island (safer then the second game on DS) and has a ver modest presentation (the music in particular is quite unpopular and could definitely be improved on a lot).
EDIT: Seeing you are talking about the series, not just the third game:
The first game is one of the best games ever created, the second game is a (very difficult) level pack with a new twist in form of baby-swapping, where each baby has a distinct power you need to progress in the levels and enormous level lengths. The third game then is a bit more safe level pack type successor that still of course has some new ideas, but no huge game-spanning features as in the second game. The third game also went back to shorter levels.
It's already one of the biggest hits on the Vita, so there may not be a huge amount of room for it to grow.
All right, it's almost August, so I'll start keeping track of new third party game announcements for this year's Road to TGS.
Hopefully it's less pathetic than last year, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Chris hurry up with the Famitsu update!
Yes. Actually, a few years ago Gamasutra noted that the Wall Street Journal's lengthy article about TGS only talked about two companies, Mobage and GREE.
The majority of last year's announcements were also mobile games. My list under represents that as I didn't put in any mobile only publishers since most were releasing 40+ games a year at that point and there aren't good reporting sites in English.

PS4 is a complete disaster in Japan and so is the WiiU. What is left of the console market there? Aside from the studios like From Software and Kojima Production that can keep up with the west, I think that they are pretty much done. They missed the cross-gen/ports/remaster memo in Japan.
Was I seeing things or did I read somewhere that Breath of Fire 6 has been delayed? I thought it was already out??
Dear God.
It'd be the Mobile Game Show soon enough.
Dear God.

Yep, that was a thing that happened. We also heard about the bright future of the Dragon's Dogma series.
Yes, to Spring 2015.
They're trying to take their mobile efforts more seriously now since they publicly and repeatedly stated they felt the low quality of their mobile titles was a major problem.
major operators has had presence at tgs even before the smartphone boom, yes.
Never played this games, but always thought of them as good titles.

How are the sales expectation for Hyrule Warriors? Can move hardware?
Fucking hell, Capcom! What have done to the Dragon's Dogma IP? Cancelled it???
So, they can't even get business shenanigans they decided upon right? This company will belong Tencent or Nexon soon enough.

Probably Destiny could be counted as ''major'' release by PS4 standards. Could do solid numbers in Japan for western ip though. Wasn't there some impressions from retail that preorder numbers for Destiny were kinda good ?
Both are pathetic.

Little mistake here! It's supposed to be the Kirby DL Card.

Corpse Party: Book of Shadows # <ADV> (5pb.) {2011.09.01} (¥6.090) - 15.249 / NEW

Damn, PS4 at 5k... wow...
The boys & girls at Level 5 must be ecstatic to see Yo-kai Watch mentioned in the same breath as Pokemon and Monster Hunter.
it is likely it will go much lower because the PS4 release calendar for the rest of the year is :

Nice to see the Wii U bump. Hopefully it got a bump in the west too.
Poor Yoshi sales.
My waifu is responsible for 2 of them though ( ≖‿≖
The Xbox may perform bad in Japan, but the 360 still did over 1.5 million units there. While that is certainly poor per capita sales, it's probably still more than they get in countries like Norway yet they still release there.

Why would they do that?

I would honestly be surprised if HW hits even 80k on release
