It's huge in Japan, but I honestly doubt it'll be anywhere near as successful in the states.

I just saw the end bits of the treehouse where they played Yokai Watch and the RPG fight against that boss looked so engaging and fun and how it manages your team of six creatures is so interesting that I sort of just abandoned pokemon right on the spot (helps that I just couldn't bring myself to finish Alpha Sapphire because of how in love I got after trying SMT IV for a lil while). I feel like a total hipster.

corn in the bible posted:Yokai Watch hasn't been out in America yet but in Japan it is literally the best-selling thing Level-5 has ever done and outsells Pokemon. It's kind of weird they haven't localized one sooner tbh They're localizing the toys and anime too, so its all gotta wait for the stars to align and they can push everything out at once for the holidays.

Apparently Disney Magical World 2 was announced for Japan; no US or EU details yet. More information on July 6.

Amazon already has a preorder link live for Paper Jam; my faith in the M&L series is considerable enough that I one-clicked it. (I am the guy who even likes Partners In Time; not only was it the first game in the series I played, but I really liked the way it used the Rumble Pak to help give you a little more tactile feel for when to press the requisite button.)

If this thing can supplant Pokemon in Japan, it can potentially do the same over here. I don't blame them for putting their eggs in this basket because if it works they'll get one hell of a payday on top of creating yet another generation of faithful Nintendo customers.

The only thing they're missing is the ability to run it on over the air TV channels before school thanks to the FCC pretty much killing cartoon blocks. Hopefully they don't lock the anime to Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon and cable subscriptions for online streaming.

You seriously don't think there's a market for cheap plastic trinkets here in america? Especially cheap plastic trinkets with a collectibility aspect that can be easily worn to school and shown off to other kids? Like, I'm not going to guarantee it will take off, but it follows the same formula as pretty much every big fad aimed at 7-12 year olds.

I haven't looked into it, but i'm half-sure it'll air alongside Pokemon in Cartoon Network. It's not quite the same, but Sonic Boom the cartoon airs on CN at saturday mornings (when Pokemon does, idk if back to back or hours apart) and it's doing so amazing that Sega is making a sequel for the 3DS game, so there's some success to be had there.

No, Star Fox runs at about 10fps and was impressive for the time and hardware but has aged worse than first gen PS1 games. SF 2 is much the same only buggy and unfinished.

Pre order bonuses are such bullshit. You would have to buy 7 games to get every pin there.Sakurazuka posted:No, Star Fox runs at about 10fps and was impressive for the time and hardware but has aged worse than first gen PS1 games.

A general rule for anything Nintendo and E3 related is: if you expected it, it probably didn't happen.

Fix posted:Was there anything at E3 for the next Ace Attorney game? Nothing on Ace Attorney, nothing on any of the Monster Hunter games, they weren't even talking about the 3DS version of Megaman Legacy Collection. I don't think there have been any third-party 3DS announcements that didn't come out before E3.

I'd only recommend SF3D if you haven't played the original or just love the hell out of Starfox. But if you love Starfox and are also a Zelda fan, I'd get LBW.

To be fair, we did get quite a few reveals in the lead-up to E3 - Legend of Legacy, Popolocrois x Bokujo, MM Legacy (even though it's probably redundant), DBZ Extreme Butoden, etc - and I suspect we'll be hearing about Rhythm Heaven sooner rather than later, Nintendo is just dumb about E3.

Brave Tank Hero and Gacha Racing are some budget Arksys eShop games that Natsume picked up for whatever reason.
