Interesting to see a mobile game studio decide to make console games, especially considering the current gaming landscape in Japan. But, more games is always a good thing (unless they're all shit).

I wonder when we'll see their first game.

From mobile to console? In Japan? That's a refreshing change of pace.

I agree, it's good to see that console to mobile trend changing.

Don't copy random editorials.

Interested to see how this'll turn out.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
