@Jaz007 for Japan it’s not like they won’t budge it’s more like they have it already same w the West... do I think P5 will sell millions on Switch? Nah maybe a few thousand... now if P6 came to both systems I can see Switch getting some sales... although now Switch is getting both SMT & Persona Which prob isn’t fair but I guess business...
Although I can see Joker as a fighter helping Smash sales cus sometimes
One fighter
One game
One little thing
Can push someone into doing something like buying a game they initially had little interest in or go as far as buying a console, the game, a Season Pass, an Amiibo, and even an Online Service (Which is crazy)... (that’s $400+)
@wiiware while yes the target market is nostalgia I think Sony randomly was thinking
“What are some current big names we can use that people know from PS4?” basically they also want those who bought a PS4 to make have thier 👀 to possibly look into this... it works well for Nintendo since thier audience loves nostalgia (to an extent) if you look at the particular indie games that sold well on Switch (they’re callbacks/pokes to the past... particularly the NES/SNES era with some additions [although I’m sure those indie games did fine enough on PlayStation]) and the success of the NESC/SNESC. Ofc on the PlayStation Classic there is some classic games but there’s also obscure games as well or tone deaf choices...
@wiiware it’s more a case of Sony using these IPs from the modern day to advertise the system like “Do you like Grand Theft Auto, or do you like Rainbow Six Seige? Well try out the OG Rainbow Six?” Some games don’t scream classic but some games fit Sony’s agenda while also being... classic... but some choices are more for attempting for diversity and such but they are questionable.
Both sides are playable... although whether you like it or not this is the future of the series... your best bet is prob if the Portable Team makes a MH that somewhat is like the Traditional games with maybe some QoL changes whilst keeping the platform of development in mind...
I doubt this’ll be popular in the West it’ll prob have an audience and not sure w Japan since the Japanese & Fighters aren’t always clicking although Granblue is popular so who knows.
@KingdomHeartsFan doesn’t matter if he gets at least one sale cus then the game is out there, someone other than him has it... heck if he sells more than one... yup unless those people have thier mouths shut
@GKO900 it’s not really needed and may come off as gimmicky... plus there are some that just outright hate it Heck some say Generations/Generations Ultimate is some of the WORST Monster Hunter games out there (and no it’s not cus of platform but its a mix of its gimmick and repetition)

Re: Japanese Developers Sure Do Love the PS4
@ShogunRok it has... its audience like any game...
Re: Persona 5 R Announcement Could Be Coming as Atlus Updates Website
@Jaz007 @OmegaYato >comparing a 2 year old console to a 5 year old console...
You can only pump so many games in both...
yeah that’s as fair as saying the PSP is a failure cus it didn’t sell 100M units...
Re: Persona 5 R Announcement Could Be Coming as Atlus Updates Website
@OmegaYato I’m only talking in the sense not all of em are only on Nintendo...
Re: Persona 5 R Announcement Could Be Coming as Atlus Updates Website
@OmegaYato Bayo 1 is on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility (it’s the definitive CONSOLE ver of the game) and Steam.

Re: Game of the Year 2018: #9 - Monster Hunter: World
@sham8nix I wanna say this RIGHT NOW the Demos for Monster Hunter have And always will suck... they really don’t do the games justice
Re: Game of the Year 2018: #9 - Monster Hunter: World

Re: Game of the Year 2018: #9 - Monster Hunter: World
@ztpayne7 heh I wonder how you’d fare playing the other MH game...
Re: Can We Please Just Give Up on the Uncharted Movie?

Re: Granblue Fantasy Versus Is a New PS4 Fighting Game from Arc System Works
Another e x c l u s i v e
I doubt this’ll be popular in the West it’ll prob have an audience and not sure w Japan since the Japanese & Fighters aren’t always clicking although Granblue is
popular so who knows.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@KingdomHeartsFan I guess they pulled a Masahiro Sakurai/Nintendo on the KH fans...
I think the biggest Oh Snap moment would be Sora coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate or something... cus while KH and Nintendo fans want it
Disney/Nomura/SE is like heck no...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@3MonthBeef ah.
Re: PS4 Action RPG Exclusive Granblue Fantasy: Relink Is Looking Grand
I wonder if this game would be any bit popular outside of Japan...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@KingdomHeartsFan doesn’t matter if he gets at least one sale cus then the game is out there, someone other than him has it... heck if he sells more than one... yup unless those people have thier mouths shut
Spoilers... spoilers everywhere
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@KingdomHeartsFan whelp some guy stole like 10-30 copies of the Xbox One version and it’s being sold for dr evil moment ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@KingdomHeartsFan so how you feel that Kingdom Hearts 3 leaked?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@wiiware idk with you id expect you would expect every game you play to be enriched with story...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@3MonthBeef there’s a rumor of a 2nd one happening but unsure
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
@wiiware surprised you got the last one especially with your tastes and expectations of more Story > all else...
Re: Kingdom Hearts III PS4 Pro Bundle Announced
This’ll sell out everywhere especially in Japan
(The Japanese loves Kingdom Hearts... when it’s a new game anyways)
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Increase Dramatically, But Nothing Can Stop Smash
@toffeecrit then ofc once KH3 hits PS4s will fly off shelves
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Increase Dramatically, But Nothing Can Stop Smash
@Ralizah that’s because the new one isn’t NECESSARILY for everyone...
Re: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - Return of the Battle Royale King?
@clvr not the review or article
Just the game itself you have SOOOOO many BR games to choose from
Re: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - Return of the Battle Royale King?
Question is: Who cares? Least regarding the game...
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@Spectra Once the PC Ver catches up especially w modifications it’s the definitive ver...
Or at least it can be...
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@GKO900 i don’t think they will
Especially when the majority just want new monsters and returning monsters...
Re: Sony: Our Players Demand Single Player Games
@wiiware Eh tastes. Just let people enjoy the things they wanna enjoy also
Not everyone is about the Story in a video game especially when some games Stories are so bad you’d best not pay attention...
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@GKO900 that’s for you but some others won’t like it Plus it kinda changes MHW’s Identity
Plus this team is diff than the team that did MHGenerations... the team that did MHGen likes to find some crazy new gimmick...
This team is more standard with things
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@GKO900 it’s not really needed and may come off as gimmicky... plus there are some that just outright hate it Heck some say Generations/Generations Ultimate is some of the WORST Monster Hunter games out there (and no it’s not cus of platform but its a mix of its gimmick and repetition)
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@nessisonett it prob will
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Bring 'Lots' of Gameplay Improvements
@Spectra ya know on PC there’s a way to... Remove them entirely... crazy huh?
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Is a 'Massive Expansion' Due Out Autumn 2019
@Spectra yup but it’s a big AAA game it’s a game for newcomers gotta try and make a story...cus marketing
Even if it isn’t good
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Is a 'Massive Expansion' Due Out Autumn 2019
@GodOfPie I’d have ideas for a Story
Is it deep? Not completely but it’s something... would be a little dark...
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Is a 'Massive Expansion' Due Out Autumn 2019
@GodOfPie oh Ik but hey...
Re: Live: Watch the Monster Hunter: World Special Developer Update Here
@Tsurii there is March 2019 with the 15th Anniversary where Announcements will be made
Maybe whatever is after MHW...
If not I can see you trying to play something like MHFrontier
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Is a 'Massive Expansion' Due Out Autumn 2019
@Spectra why do I feel you’d needa be heavily intoxicated to stomach thier story...
I feel you’d prob like Generations Ultimate’s way of story where it’s
Story? The heck is that!? GO! Go hunt Monsters...
