One of the great mysteries of gaming this gen is how this game bombed in Japan.

First - It's the graphics king this gen
Second - It's a big budget traditional RPG
Third - It's made by a very respected team, and backed up by one of the world's most respected animation studios
Fourth - It's the "sequel" to the DS game, that while did not put the charts on fire, sold reasonably well

There has to be a problem with this game. It looks fantastic, but there has to be a problem! :S

I remember reading recently that it did 500k, so I wouldn't say it bombed. Apparently releasing close to a MH game was a big factor.

No, it sold less than 70k first week, and it's at 160k LTD so far, probably on first shipment with a very discounted price.It kinda bombed, as it looks like a very big budgeted game.

Like I said, it's so strange. I thought it was going to be a million seller on DS. Did not happen. But PS3 numbers were atrocious.

Ah I'm probably thinking of the DS one then. Sad. It is kind of crazy it bombed...

I wonder if it'll end up as another Versus XIII.


The difference here is the game already released last year in Japan
They just take their time with the translation or something else probably - Versus13 on the other side didn't have a release anywhere on the planet for now.

News is great - More time for me to forget the Japanese Version.Its still to fresh...Amazin game but i really want to forget most of it so i can enjoy a western release.

It was just meant to be a joke. Now it's lost all it's purpose because people seem to like to disect what I said. -_-"
