Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will High American and European Scores send Japanese pre orders of Smash U skyrocketing?

Probably not... I think Japanese people will mostly be happy with the 3ds version regardless of the exclusive modes of the wiiU version

That's why Bayonetta 2 blew up the Japanese charts.



They'll respond to it as much as the general public here responds to Famitsu reviews.

The fact that even us gamers only pay attention to Famitsu reviews and nobody elses from Japan shows how much attention we pay to each others reviews and the impact they have.

Are you implying that they do have an affect on the general public? I'm not sure I'm following.

No Im saying if even the most hardcore of gamers in the west ignore 99% of Japans reviews then Im sure its similar in Japan. The general public in Japan havent even heard of IGN. Hell even at TGS people didnt know who IGN were =P



reviews don't have a lot of impact on the general public as they don't read game review sites, word of mouth, marketing and visibility are key. Many great games have sold poorly and many aweful games have sold really well.



Yes, expect a +9000 on the comg thread.

Okay, I'm pretty sure we're agreeing then. 

Yay for us.
