Well now I feel even more stupid. I should stop now.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Quick and simple, how much do you reckon HD remasters of Crisis Core and Type-0 would sell on Vita at this point in its lifecycle (also wisely compatible with Vita TV)?
Obviously Birth by Sleep will get bundled into some 2.5 thingy so thats a separate issue, but if things like Toukiden, Soul Sacrifice, and Dragon's Crown are selling over 100k, seems worth it for me? Throw in a PS3 release if they really must (not sure PSP graphics can really persuade console audience, ala Peace Walker HD not setting the world alight).

Seeing that HD Remasters barely sell close to 100k or 200k at most, even for some of the popular franchises, i don't think it will sell >50k.
But at this point, these remasters have more of a chance appearing on iOS/Android then on a handheld.
I don't think Revelations has any better chance when it sold even less than Operation Racoon City. If Capcom has any common sense, they might have green lit a sequel to Operation Racoon City but actually work on it to make it more like Resident Evil Outbreak in terms of quality and online multiplayer, instead of the original crap developed by Slant Six.

I think both games would need the Persona 4 Golden treatment if they would be sold individually on the Vita. Type 0 is still a fairly recent game and Crisis Core has always been a bit of a controversial game, so I don't think a straight port would be terribly interesting to a lot of people.

And both are already available on a portable device. There's little incentive to buy a remaster.

Both of them are not even playable on VITA because they aren't available on PSN. I don't think Type-0 is on Japanese PSN but i could be wrong.

And type-0 can be played on Vita anyway in Japan.
Making Vita/PS3 versions of FF X, X-2 and later XII is probably much smarter choice.

It is on JP PSN, playable on Vita. Just 2100 yen too.

I forget that Type-0 was on PSN because that game is just an elusive phantasm to me.
Crisis Core remains the absolute most bizarre case scenario though and its absence from PSN. Was it some music licensing or something? Can't spring for a replacement track or two at all? Its not like BbS where Disney weirdness is in the way.
Its just agonising that we seem to be seeing fewer big Japanese titles come over than like the early 90's or something. Like honestly, we live in a world where PSO2 seemingly isn't going to get a western release. Wut.

Can you use the right analog for the camera?!
Yes.

I see, thanks for clarifying. The price also seems cheaper. I bet it looks glorious on VITA with that OLED and all
Shiiiiiiiiiit. I'm totally getting it on PSN when I get a Vita TV. Thanks!
Unless they announce an actual HD remaster before then.

Well, it's normal to be confused.
Samurai Warriors is a Dynasty Warriors spin-off.
Sangoku Musou = Dynasty Warriors = Chinese historical game (from Omega/Koei)
Sengoku Musou = Samurai Warriors = Japanese historical game (from Omega/Koei)
Sengoku Basara = Japanese historical game (from Capcom)
To add to the confusion:
Sangoku Musou = Dynasty Warriors = Fighting game
Shin Sangoku Musou = Dynasty Warriors 2 (and onwards) = 3D action game series

Next one won't ship even half of that in west unless retailers are total morons. You would have to dig through NPD thread but sales weren't pretty.
wrong. the TV will upscale any signal to its native res.

3DS, HD version or both? It's sometimes hard to get what Capcom is trying to say about their sales. Solid, soft etc.
Nope.
But it's better than nothing. Can't shake the bad feeling that what we saw yesterday (Puyo Puyo and Taiko) is gonna be a huge part of the next direct focused on new games...
For Taiko at least there is a reason, but Puyo Puyo never was a huge seller on the wii. For Wiiu then... Ha! It's a nice game to have thought and i'm happy that i will get it. The game will sell best on the 3DS and Vita.
Also, the end of this month is gonna be the most crowded for Wiiu software ever since the release. 3 games and a re-release. Crazy.

HD version, but 3DS one would probably get smaller shipment too as i think it hit bomba prices quite fast too.

the last taiko game had insanely long legs and sold 500k on wii. so its not a bad thing to have a taiko game.
Yep, still on the top 20 on the Media Create Chart.

Considering the gap in install base Killzone beating Puppeteer is astonishing.

Why the notion that almost every game would have done better on PS Vita?
