Okay sold. Looks really cool.

It is very cool.

There's nothing like shipping a game and praying that it does well on the Media Create charts. I still can't break the 100k barrier for first week sales. I assume its because I'm not pushing any games out near the end of the year.Nevertheless, the game is like crack, and you want to play just long enough to ship one more title.

Having said that, I think I'm gonna stick with Game Boy for quite some time. Low cost and a huge number of units shipped.

lol wow the game looks very thorough.

I also like that it seems to be more centered around the Japanese market.

Yes, its heavily Japanese-centered.

Sales data for consoles are entirely based on what they sold in Japan. That is, the Sega Genesis did bad, the SNES did a lot better, the Game Boy is great to dev on, and you have to work on winning over Famitsu.

All genre-type data is based on Japanese preferences. Normally, my games have sold ~200-250k copies for quite some time. I released a fantasy RPG on Game Boy, and went from selling said amount to 570,000 uni5w.
