smash passes splatoon!



RIP Media create.






Wow, Nintendo keeps on dominating, and right when MC is ending as we know it. I'm sure there will be leaks but still.

@Noctis its been an honour.

End of an era.

Around the Network

This is a sad week, end of an era

Signature goes here!

Rest in Peace Media Create and perhaps the qeekly Japanese Sales..... The only region that gave us numbers every week.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Might as well say hello in the final one of these since they were a big part of my life for a number of years (I miss posting them, although Noctis has done a brilliant job before and after haha!)

Also, to post some topical stuff:

02./00. [PS4] Super Robot Wars V # (Bandai Namco Games) {2017.02.23} (¥8.600) - 100.154 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Super Robot Wars V # (Bandai Namco Games) {2017.02.23} (¥7.600) - 83.733 / NEW

01./00. [PS4] Super Robot Wars X # (Bandai Namco Games) {2018.03.29} (¥8.600) - 89.259 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Super Robot Wars X # (Bandai Namco Games) {2018.03.29} (¥7.600) - 54.042 / NEW

02./00. [PS4] Super Robot Wars T # (Bandai Namco Games) {2019.03.20} (¥8.600) - 88.093 / NEW
03./00. [NSW] Super Robot Wars T # (Bandai Namco Games) {2019.03.20} (¥8.600) - 44.051 / NEW

So not a terrible result for SRW but still doing nothing to combat the decline (in fact, only adding to it really). Wonder how much less next year's entry will do. At least they're offsetting with Asian sales these days.

02./00. [PS4] Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book # (Koei Tecmo) {2015.11.19} (¥7.344) - 30.759 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book # (Koei Tecmo) {2015.11.19} (¥6.264) - 25.805 / NEW
13./00. [PS3] Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book # (Koei Tecmo) {2015.11.19} (¥7.344) - 11.542 / NEW

03./00. [PS4] Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey # (Koei Tecmo) {2016.11.02} (¥6.800) - 27.372 / NEW
05./00. [PSV] Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey # (Koei Tecmo) {2016.11.02} (¥5.800) - 16.153 / NEW

00./00. [PS4] Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings # (Koei Tecmo) {2017.12.21} (¥7.300) - 21.129 / NEW
00./00. [PSV] Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings # (Koei Tecmo) {2017.12.21} (¥6.300) - 7.585 / NEW
00./00. [NSW] Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings # (Koei Tecmo) {2017.12.21} (¥7.300) - 6.632 / NEW

05./00. [PS4] Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland # (Koei Tecmo) {2019.03.20} (¥7.800) - 27.734 / NEW
13./00. [NSW] Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland # (Koei Tecmo) {2019.03.20} (¥7.800) - 12.473 / NEW

So Atelier Lulua sold slightly better than Lydie & Suelle but still lost out to Firis. Not a good result at all imo, especially since the trilogies tend to sell worse with each new entry. Back to the drawing board, Gust.



I hope there is some consistent workaround



Well we have still famitsu/dengeki.
