I wish people would stop mocking Koei for Namco Bandai's Gundam Musou forecasts.

Bandai projected 1 million, then Koei came out and said it should really sell 2 million (1 million for Gundam, 1 million for Musou). lol.

I'm not "comparing" the two - but btw, Hokuto No Ken is 1 billion times better, but that's not important.

I'm just sayin naruto graphics mimic well the naruto anime style.

The realistic use of graphics here do no justice to Hokuto No Ken anime.

I mean...

Looks a lot like the anime.

Doesn't look shit like the anime. It's "realistic" looking, and have imo (if i'm allowed to have one), bad graphics, not expressive at all.

looks nothing like this, unfortunately

that's all.

Maybe it doesn't look much like the anime, but it makes a beautiful match for the manga, which was a lot more gritty and dark-lookinig.

LOL. WW is up and all the consoles lost their Japan sales. Xbox hardly didn't even go down. Because it has hardly any sales there. :P

Was about say the same thing. The Hokuto manga source and the thematic is a lot more fatalistic. The realistic approach is far more appropriate than cell shading for this game imo.

Anyways, I will wait for news on the Western  release. If the game has original Japanese VA then I will buy it, otherwise I will be importing this from Japan.

I'm too much of a purist bastard to EVER play this game in anything but Japanese VA.

It has a shot at passing 5m rather easily honestly. Even with a smaller base in Japan, NSMB Wii is completely pulverizing the pace of NSMB DS - it could end up with a nearly 40% attach rate in Japan...and Wii is getting to at least 12m no matter what.

~3.6m/10.1m is really good considering the sw sales of NSMB Wii still are larger than Wii sales in Japan.

Speaking of longer term projections, and idea where Friend Collection could end up?  How much had Animal Crossing DS sold at this point?

Hokuto no Ken meets Dynasty Warriors...geez, what do the nippons see in those koei rumble games?

They probably ask what we see in countless fpses produced here ;)
