Re: Square Enix Reveals New Bravely Default Game, But It's Only Launching On Mobile

Andyliini

Hold up, just one thing.

I do not care about mobile games, but if the series has exceeded three million in shipments, it could tell us a story.

I checked that the original Bravely Default shipped around 1 million by the end of 2014. I doubt many copies were sold after that. Bravely Second on the other hand has sold 700k copies by April 2017.

This would indicate that Bravely Default II might have already shipped more that one million. That is more than I expected, az neither Nintendo or Square-Enix have said nothing of it's performance. If those previous numbers were correct, BDII has sold approximately 1,3 million, which is a good number IMO. Hopefully more like this is coming from Square to Switch.

I feel like Horii once again might have stepped a bit out of line during the presentation. He has done it before, as in talking about things he's not supposed to say.

I remember a few years back some french magazine asked him why Dragon Quest VII on 3DS was not released outside of Japan yet. His answer was something like "It hasn't been released? It will be soon." It wasn't too much after that Nintendo annouced they are publishing VII and VIII on 3DS.

Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

Andyliini

I haven't really thought about my favorite games ever, but let's see:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (2000)
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017)
3. Final Fantasy IX (2000)
4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
5. Xenoblade Chronicles (2010)

So, roughly 3 years ago was the last time a video game blew my mind. And if there is someone I have faith is able to do it again, it's MonolithSoft.

Re: Tomonobu Itagaki on Why Devil's Third Underperformed

Andyliini

I just played the game for some laughs, just the single-player campaign. It was stupid, but fun at the same time. It's interesting to see the reason of Nintendo picking it up (seems like Iwata himself made the decision), too bad the game was mediocre at best.

However, it looks like Nintendo nad Valhalla still have good relations, and they are already developing another game for Nintendo.

Re: Square Enix Wants to Hear Your Questions About Dragon Quest VII

Andyliini

The game is actually a remake, not a port like it was stated in the article. This game is the original release in Japan, which was ported to iOS and Android down the road.

Nagging aside, can't wait for the game, finally we Europeans are also getting the game officially. It also does not bother me that DQVIII was delayed until 2017, as i head DQVII is full of content, and will take a while to finish.

Re: A Duo Of TurboGrafx-16 Games Hit The Wii U Virtual Console In North America Today

Strange timing, but maybe they are really basing the NX architecture on Wii U, and therefore it's reasonable enough to release TG16-games on Wii U. I know I only had one game for it on Wii, Castlevania (OK, I bough Bonk's Adventure out of a whim, but only played it once).

Hopefylly the support will come to Europe sooner rather than later, with Castlevania in tow. One of the last game I still haven't been able to upgrade from my original VC collection.

Re: Hands On: Crossing Over With Project X Zone 2

@Operationgamer17 Drought? In February, 3DS gets both Project X Zone 2 and Megaman Legacy Collection. In addition US gets Fire Emblem Fates and Europe gets Bravely Second. I wouldn't call three high-profile games a month a drought.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a tough one for me. I didn't really enjoy it back then, nor di I have much time to play it now. But if this game's seccuss or failure decids wether Square-Enix releases more Virtual Console games in Europe, I feel like I have to get it...
