@Galenmereth When companies like Monolith Soft want to hire more people to put out better games, it really says a lot about gamefreak that makes almost $10 million with each installment and still chooses to remain understaffed and forced to make cuts to their game and then lies about why they had to make cuts to their games.

And it most certainly does sell just based on the brand. There are literally comments on this article saying they're disappointed with this and that they don't like this pr talk, but they'll still end up buying it. This is no different than the people who constantly buy the cod games and fifa.

@JaxonH you literally said "people were massively down voting Ralizah for hoping they make games for Switch", and "When a person downvotes a post saying “I want Atlus support on Switch.”

I'm telling you that person didn't say that at all. They said, "They'd make even more money if they actually put more resources into developing games for the Switch." I can't speak for anyone else, but my problem lies with: "if they actually put more resources into developing games for the Switch." They probably didn't mean any ill will, but it does come across that way.

You would have known that was my "issue" with it, if you'd even bothered to read the middle sentences of my 1st paragraph where I gave an example of how Atlus is already and is going to continue to put resources into making switch games.

And it's not just that comment and this website. There are other places where people seem to think Atlus doesn't want to or isn't supporting Nintendo enough and it mainly started showing up when a certain game stayed exclusive to another console. Again I ask why? Cause of that 1 game?

@Galenmereth no, Gamefreak is lazy and their argument fell flat the moment they brought up that they're not adding in all pokemon because they're "upgrading" the graphics. No indie dev can tell me they're anywhere near in the same situation as gamefreak. Because again, gamefreak isn't some indie dev. And with each installment, they've been making more money than the vast majority of indie devs do their entire time on the market. I would never believe gamefreak isn't capable of recruiting more people and taking the time to actually make a game with these so called "upgraded" graphics.

@JaxonH are you being serious right now? No where in my post even implies that that was where the "issue" lies. But you're right I'm not gonna argue with someone that couldn't even read my post correctly.

@JaxonH that's not what it says at all. They're saying atlus would make money if they actually spent resources on making games for the switch almost as if implying they aren't or won't. 2 of their 3 long running franchises are prominent on Nintendo. It's almost certain there will be another Etrian game and that it will be on switch as an exclusive along with smtv. It makes me wonder how anyone can believe atlus isn't supporting Nintendo enough and that they should start using resources on switch as if they weren't.

Then there's some comments acting as though they're struggling (when it literally says sales for their recent games exceeded goals) and some claiming they deserve to struggle and for what? Because they didn't port over 1 game? This just paints switch owners in a bad light.

@Galenmereth @coolaggro it's almost as if people want to play with their old pokemon in a new region to "explore", following a "new" plotline, battling against new pokemon, while simultaneously raising their old pokemon with new pokemon if they'll even keep features from the past games like feeding and grooming.

@LunarFlame17 they are. Smtv is still going to switch. And I bet the next etrian will also go on switch.

It's great to see atlus happy with the sales of all those games. Can't wait to see p5 royal help boost these sales up too.

This is the same exact thing almost all developers say when trying to save face after receiving backlash. It's a load of BS. And doesn't this basically confirm that they won't or can't add pokemon through updates? Gamefreak is literally one of the most incompetent developers I've ever seen. So much for pouring their hearts into this.

They took out pokemon because apparently they're working on "upgrading" the graphics. Yet the "open world" area looks like it came straight out of an N64 game. It's completely pathetic that a franchise that sell millions looks far worse than countless other jrpgs with way smaller budgets yet we're supposed to believe they're upgrading them?

Apparently they butchered Charlotte in the translation. So I'll definitely wait for a huge sale since I can play this for free and with a better translation at any point in time

The corgi has a terrible color scheme making it look a little weird. And the imp just looks downright stupid. For now I'll just stick with wooloo and corviknight.

@Jokerwolf I still think it's ridiculous considering we're talking about pixel sprites. It's still work yes, but they're not exactly full 3d models like the new super Mario Bros style. Not to mention this sequel has so far just been about adding on top of the 1st one. Even if it's a small team, they're not working from scratch like with the 1st game.

@manu0 I don't think the sale had much to do with it. Otherwise there would be more PS4 games in the top 10.

As for the topic at hand, these are still terrible numbers no matter how you look at it. 3 weeks now and only 1 game has so far been able to break 10k. Hopefully sales for games go strong next week.

It was actually pretty boring. Luigi's Mansion looked like dark moon, where it tries to emulate the original but fails. Animal crossing looked a little boring for some reason. I need to see the gameplay footage but the trailer was meh. Why do they keeping using that terrible cgi for FE cutscenes. The story seems interesting but the cutscenes are horrible. Zelda was the saving grace. And the other 2 were the seiken densetsu games finally coming west and panzer dragoon. But those are 3rd party. If anything, square enix won cause they are bringing so many games that people have been waiting for. The saga games, seiken densetsu series, ff8. They were the true winners of e3.

@Jokerwolf if this is true then that is beyond sad.

Jesus again with Persona 5? Just get the system its on if you really want to play it. There is no reason to stick with one console and complain about the other getting a game.

Another terrible week in Japan. No game breaking 10k is a sad sight to see but it is Japan.

Wow no game broke 10k this week. This is a terrible week for gaming in japan

Kemco is a hard pass. Tons of better jrpgs out there than to be playing shovelware

Calling Okami a zelda clone is very disrespectful. It's its own game and it's a very great one at that.

So i'd highly recommend Okami by its own merits rather than always being referred to as a zelda clone when it received more praise than the zelda that was out at the time. Twilight Princess i believe? Great game but Okami was overall just better. Only think holding it back was that it was a little too easy.

@HSuzumiyaVI pokemon selling a lot does not mean anything. Other jrpgs on portables don't sell anywhere near the amount pokemon does. Smt is exclusive to nintendo now. Are you really pretending the 3ds ports and Smt 4 and 5 don't only exist on nintendo platforms as of now?

As for the Only on Playstation box. It's completely irrelevant now if you consider PC as part of the competition between the consoles. Detroit is no longer only on ps4 yet the boxes had that phrase.

@MarinaKat Exactly. If you want to play a game buy the system for it. It's simple.

@The_Pixel_King then maybe don't only own a switch. The series has been exclusive to sony since its start. Be more open minded and save up for a console that can play these games you want to play.

Lmao a guy makes a little fan project and there are people here actually criticizing his work. And im almost certain it's because he's doing it on a ps4 game. I bet you guys would be applauding some guy recreating a kirby stage in minecraft for switch or one of those bland looking smash stages with stage builder
