Hmmm... maybe Marvelous should stick to handhelds... OR release their games out of Japan for once >_



The sales from Fragile Dreams und Muramasa in europe and USA are unexpected good. And I think both will have long legs.

HMH was probably still profitable even if it didn't do well in the west. Doesn't change the fact it deserved better sales though. :/

Oh sure, it did like 70k in Japan iirc.  Was ultra low budget too.

 

Also, didn't see it mentioned but MMV also stated their upcoming (Japanese) release calendar for (fiscal) 2011.  Looks to me like they're gearing up for 3DS considering almost half these games have already released in April/May...

 

PSP: 4 games (Ikki Tousen: Xross Impact, Fate / Extra, tba, tba)

Wii: 2 games (No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, tba)

PS3: 2 games (No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise, tba)

DS: 1 game (Harvest Moon: Twin Villages)

360: 1 game (No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise)

 



Could you post here sales for all Wii games?
I don't understand what is written in the PDF,thanks! :D

NMH2 counts?

They sold Rising Star, I don't think it counts (just like they didn't include NHM2 in America, because it's Ubisoft's)
