I think the trailer/commercial has been up on Gamevideos and Gametrailers for a month or so now. The game looks good but I hear it's very simplistic (some have said made for babies). I'm a fan of the Draqon Quest series and am interested in this game but I hope there is a decent challenge to it event though I can usually enjoy games that are easy. |
Most opinions from play time I've heard are that while the gameplay may be relatively simple, it's still an engaging and entertaining experience.
Personaly I can think of five reasons why this game will bomb in Japan
1. The Dragon Quest series is so ragingly successful that people must be getting sick of it by now. It's like building up an immunity to a drug, they've had so much cocaine that it doesn't give them a high anymore.
2. The games release may coincide with a Godzilla attack, causing them to shut down all power sources thus removing their chance to actually play the game, not that they'd want to, as they'd be too busy fleeing for their lives to go out and buy it.
3. The Wii is a fad, it actually died out 4 months ago, and the millions who still want it just haven't figured that out yet.
4. It doesn't have any hentai in it. No one in Japan will want a game without hentai in it. The Japanese version of New Super Mario Brothers features an additonal 3 hours of hard core animated pornography featuring Bowser and Princess Peach.
5. Japan doesn't actually exist. It's a myth fostered by corporate lobby groups to scare North Americans in to thinking that they're industrial efficiency is behind other countries.
Of course, if you pass up those 5 reasons, then the game will be a raging success.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
