>fighting game
>in a non-traditional format
>on an untested system that nobody wants
>from a company that hasn't been relevant in fightan games since SF2

is anyone surprised by this?

>Switch version of Nights of Azure 2 isn't on the chart

Uh oh

Looks like gooks wont fall for the same trick twice

/v/ was convinced it was going to be the next Splatoon and people were going to have to eat a bag of dicks again.

>>380147897
>Splatoon has more pre-orders than a mainline Dragon Quest
Is Splatoon the next Pokemon? It has the potential to get a bunch of other media franchises too.

>>380149458
No, Anon, as soon as we start talking about the success of Splatoon then we need to throw preorders out the window because then it goes against the narrative that Nintendo is failing.

All those preorders just mean that the masses are stupid and will eat up anything Nintendo shits out. Keep up

>the /v/ is a one person meme again

Japs really have a hard on for Splatoon. There was some media saying they hadn't seen a game take off like this since Dragon Quest on the NES.

Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Pokémon, Monster Hunter = Switch domination in Japan

>>380149458
Dragon Quest is on it's way out though. It's a very generic series and if it weren't for brand loyalty and the fact that they can pump out a new game whenever they need to with minimal effort, it would already be dead.

You filthy smelly grimey stinky dirty uncultured weebs need to know your place.

>>380150453

given that if combined it has more preorders than Splatoon 2 I'd say you're wrong.

>>380151598
yeah but you are combining 2 different games.
the 3ds version is unique.
it beating each game individually is a big achiveemnt.

>>380147897
>that Splatoon 2
lmao
good luck finding a switch in japan for the next year

>most recent estimates, switch has sold 770k switches
>splatoon 2 has about 642k preorders
what did Japan mean by this?

>>380150825

hes right, DQ is the McDonalds of RPG. Pretty much like CoD is for FPS. You could make a list of the best 5, or maybe 10, best RPG ever made and not a single DQ title would make it into the list.

>>380147897
what were splatoon initial preroders in 2015?
i remmeber the opening week was around 100k or some shit wich wasnt that great but had some astounding legs.

>>380147897
Is monster hunter flopping?

>>380151042
More like 1/3.
I think a much higher percentage percentage of the population buys video games though.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You all knew OP had PTSD from sucking all those dicks because Splatoon did so well. And yet here you all are reminding him.

All he wanted was to shitpost about ARMS for a little while to help him put that all behind him and you wouldn't even let him have that. I'm ashamed of you all.
