Bandai Namco Reports A Near 50% Rise In Profits For FY2022

Notice that they've had higher profits ever since they got rid of Jump Force.

That's the results for Bandai Namco Holdings (of which Bandai Namco Entertainment, the Video game publishing arm, is just a part of) as a whole, I'm pretty sure.

Hope the Klonoa remakes sell well. Out of all Namco's properties I'd like to see make a comeback, this is definitely near the top.

Edit: Also Digimon Survive has had terrible marketing so far. There's only 2 months left until launch, and yet the only thing we've really seen over the three years that passed since its announcement is just a number of teaser trailers. I can't get excited over the title if I have no idea what it really is.

Has klonoa for switch a release date?

Just here to express my undying love of Klonoa

Is namco-bandai nintendo's biggest third party supporter?

So no love for Bamco on Nintendolife? (except for Klonoa that is)
Personally I've enjoyed God Eater 3 quite a lot (much more than Burst, 2 Rage Burst and Resurrection) plus the Namco Museum collection as well.

a shame no more tales games are coming to the current switch.. they would have made even more profits ...

But they also seem to be more geared towards their japanese homemarket. 70% of their revenue is from their home turf, while the North American, European and Asian markets are roughly 10% each.

They only publish Elden Ring (and the Dark Souls series) you know. FromSoftware is owned by a large japanese media conglomerate about twice the size of Capcom.

Let’s hope klonoa does well.

Good job Bandai Namco, now give us that exclusive new Tales game you promised.

From Namco I only buy two games: Tekken and Soulcalibur.

These are 2 of my favorite franchises of all time.

But apart from these 2 franchises, there isn't a single other game from Namco that interests me.

Hopefully the Klonoa remakes sell well, so we'll probably finally get the grand return of the Wonderswan cult classic: Klonoa Moonlight Museum (I wish).

@MeatSauce thank you!

I think it's worth calling out just how anamolous Elden Ring's success is - through a combination of marketing and what I believe to be a rabid word of mouth campaign from fans of the soulsborne series (myself included), the game outsold last year's COD.

That said, where's Tales of Symphonia on switch??

I hope to god this means they'll be more willing to risk giving Digimon more attention. Please remake the World games and put them in a collection. I'm trying to get into the games but they're annoying to collect.
