Dont worry were going to see lots of Mario Tennis Ultra Smash ads.

 

Edit: but what other JRPGS that got heavily marketed? 


I remember Kingdom Hearts 3D had so many advertisements my father thought it was a movie coming out. Oh, and Yo Kai Watch is being heavily advertised on Disney Jr (watch it all the time with my daughter), and Pokemon, when Omega Red and Alpha Saphire was coming out.


Yeah, i find those "Kiddy" JRPGS being shown a lot on Kids channels (Cartoon network, Nickelodeon) or during a cartoon segment on the channel (Like every morning).

Theres not gonna be a push. JRPG's arent sale's juggernauts. Xeno X will at best sell 500k.

Despite a long delay and being under stocked, Xenoblade sold nearly that in America alone. Take into account the Smash effect on the series as a whole (remember what it did to FE in the West?) and the fact that the core Nintendo base has absolutely adored Xenoblade says that it will probably perform above the predecessor. Especially since Bayo2 pretty much matched the first game's sales on either platform just because Nintendo wanted it to. We're all saps and we'll buy everything they tell us to. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Idk what kind of sales you think it would get if they spent millions marketing it. Fallout it ain't.

I'm starting to think this Direct they are going to have before years end is going to be to push this game back to 2016...


Assuming you're even a percent serious:

then explain that.


I wasn't, but holy shit that's awesome!!!

Even if it does well and sell's 1mil. It still dont think we will have a publicity push. Its too uncertain.

Woudn't surprise me if Nintendo throw the game under a bus with minimal promotion.

Yeah I really hope NoA or NoE are not going to send this game out to die. If I were Monolith Soft, I would expect some decent marketing push for my epic game overseas that isn't confined to Nintendo Directs or Nintendo's official YouTube channel.
