How so? Dragon Quest XI PS4 has more sales on Amazon currently, does that mean the japanese have a bigger interest in that version? You can't judge people's reactions based on Amazon alone.

No, it isn't. It's a good indacator to show that people who buy from Amazon have some interest in it, but it doesn't say anything about the average consumer's interest, which might be low considering the similarities this "sequel" has to its predecessor.

The average consumer plays shitty mobile games. The simple point is that this game has some pull in the Japanese gaming market. It isn't going to sell earth-shattering numbers, but it beat out Dragon Quest on Amazon in Japan. I don't know how often those rankings get updated but I'd assume it's fairly frequent. So it certainly doesn't mean that it's going to outsell Dragon Quest, but it is still a good sign.

I don't think they were terrible, just not fully fleshed out. They were both amiibo experiments that didn't work out too well. I liked HHD but it should have just been a full ACNL update and AF should have just been a free app for you to mess with your amiibos in, or at least no more than $10.
HHD had a lot of really good ideas and improvements and I think the next AC is going to be great with what they've learned through it. Probably not too common an opinion but I absolutely love Amiibo cards and hope they do more with them. Nothing was more fun than going around with my friends and buying packs, then trading and shitting our pants when we got our favourites. That's the kind of DLC I can condone, since you actually physically own it and get neat benefits.
>>
>>377340339
It's back and even MORE popular in Japan than before. You can count on a boom in the first-year-period doujin yield. If you crunch the numbers alongside ARMS hype, we can expect a positive-memeback loop between the two franchises.
Corollary: The next comiket will be squewd as fuck.

It's nothing like Nisekoi. Dunno about Non Non Biori since I found that too boring

It was pretty much the most popular wiiu game in japan, it even appeared in several manga and anime being played by the characters. This is Call of Duty but for Japan. This shit WILL sell like fucking hotcakes no matter how bad the Switch would turn out. Even if Splatoon came with a new mandatory plugin to kick you in the balls every 5 minutes of gameplay this game would still sell well in Japan

We can't say for sure that it is. When it was announced that it was a sequel, everyone was skeptical because it was too similar to the first one and nothing they showed so far is worth of making a sequel of. All those things could be added in an expanded version with new weapons, new modes and new singleplayer story. The consumers aren't dumb, they aren't buying a game without appeal simply because of the name and the number 2.

Besides, we don't even know about the most important part of the game yet: Multiplayer. It could very well be an unbalanced mess.

Lastly, with the release of Dragon Quest XI on the same week, it will steal a lot of the attention of Splatoon 2 in Japan. And in the West it will be outshined by Destiny 2 which releases some days later.

I'm not saying it's going to flop, but I doubt it will make more than the first game.

But if you combine both versions of Dragon Quest XI, it's still far above Splatoon 2. I don't see why we should consider Dragon Quest XI separately.

And don't even try to compare it to Splatoon 2, Dragon Quest XI will simply destroy Splatoon 2, in sales and in quality.

We'll have to agree to disagree, I don't watch a lot of anime and am not very fond of moe, hentai, ecchi etc etc, but I personally found Non Non Biyori really good.

>>
>>377348689
There are 10 games proving that.

Splatoon has one game that barely sold 1,5 million with bundles. And its sequel is quite similar to the first one.

I see Splatoon following the same path as Inazuma Eleven, it might sell very well with the first 2~3 games, but after that people will just forget because in the end, it's the same thing everytime, people will eventually get tired.

Why are you excited for a game that glorifies agnosticism/gnosticism and criticizes our Lord Savior Jesus Christ/God?
>>
>>377349051
This is within the first 2-3 games. If you think people will be interested the first 2-3 games yet you don't think 2 will sell well. You're a fucking weirdo

With Nintendo's trajectory, do you think we will get a boob AND butt slider for Xenoblade 2?

Not unless there's character customisation like in X. The game looks to have a predefined MC.

We will see booty and boobs though judging by this concept art. It will have waifus.

u wot m8? Unless you're only referring to Japan or something, because Splatoon sold over 4.5 million.

On a console that only sold 13 million.
>>
>>377351302
Yes?
It's the best selling new IP in Japan since Wii Sports.
How is that "barely", especially on a console with such a tiny install base.

what are the chances the game makes it out this year due to the lack of localized dubbing?

My anger was more for the announcement and existence of Amiibo Festival. I was never a Metroidfag so that didn't trigger me but I could understand why so many were so damn salty.
>>
>>377351623
If they dub it, they better give us Britbong voices. One of the best things Xenoblade has to offer is its dub.
>>
>>377351670
They hired a hentai artist, I expected worst.
>>
>>377351670
stupid greentexter, she looks ripped out of Lost in Paradise, which makes sense since its the same designer.
>>
>>377351764
8-4 is localizing it and they'll probably use american dubs.
>>
>>377351670
Hopefully there are better male characters,
maybe an older bro tier guy and no shit tier Nopon again. Tatsu was fucking terrible.

I just couldn't do it, XCX was just bad. The artstyle was ugly as fuck, and the characters weren't that great either.

It's funny. The whole direct was about ARMS but it didn't gain any points at all, instead Splatoon 2 gained 20 points. http://www.comgnet.com/ranking/ Shouldn't be that surprising but it looks like ARMS isn't going to be that popular in Japan.
>>
>>377352347
I love XC but didn't get XCX because of the art style. Too embarrassed to play that shit in front of my wife.

seems that way.
I've got porn artists looking at ARMS for inspiration, thats all I need from Japan

If it wasn't for XCX and Splatoon I would've sold my Wii U right there.

Most people are waiting until after the demo to place a pre-order or anything.
This is definitely a game you need to feel before you buy.
>>
>>377352631
This. I need it in my hands to get any idea.
>>
>>377352389
Most people don't do preorders, they just enter on the store and buy the game. I don't think Arms will be the next Splatoon, but it definitely has a lot of appeal among casuals and hardcores, which are both big markets in Japan, also it will be released at the beginning of Switch's life with little competition and an audience hungry for new games, especially multiplayer games. I think Arms could do some nice 500k in Japan when all is said and done.
>>
>>377352932
I think you're partly wrong. Think about Japan as a market. They LOVE handhelds. ARMS? It's a TV game. You're really supposed to play it in front of a TV. I think it will have decent sales in Japan but take off in the West.
>>

A mainline DQ game buried underneath Splatoon shit

Jesus Christ.
>>
>>377347595
Are we even sure that's clothing they're wearing? It merges with them when they turn into squid form after all.
>>
>>377353094
That's why they made it playable with traditional controllers and even with one Joy-Con alone, It will please the casual. But I agree that it will have decent sales, the current situation of the Switch is just too good for Arms to get good sales.
>>
>>377353103
PS4 version alone will probably sell more than Splatoon 2.
>>
>>377353614
Well, in Japan. Splatoon, unlike DQ, does well overseas.

>>
>>377353753
I'm talking about Japan only here and only the first year. Dragon Quest XI will sell around 1,8kk this year and PS4's install base will help it a lot while Switch's install base will hurt Splatoon 2's potential pretty bad, I think it will end up selling something like 1,2kk this year.

No matter how much you distort it in your little mind nintenfag, but 5 million is still bigger than 800000.
>>
>>377352631
I can see this being true. I'm very on the fence on getting it.
>>
>>377351345
2015 wasn't as bad as you make it sound.

If Ryu, Roy and Lucas hadn't been spoiled, it would've been one of the better Nintendo E3s, and we still got NWC which was pretty fun.

Compare it to E3 2008 Nintendo where we got pretty much no big hitters and lots of Wii Sports Resort / Balance Board filler.

i've been ignoring switch news since after the wiiu i really didn't want to fall for it again but i decided today i really want to play splatoon2 and arms
so does that mean you can get the amiibo?
>>
>>377357640
It's up for pre-order, but I don't know if you'll be able to find it.
>>
>>377357640
The amiibo release with the game but good fucking luck finding one, pre-orders sell out instantly.

b-but they'll restock them right?
i mean i can still buy the marie & callie amiibos online and they came out ages ago
