Jikkyou Powerful pro Yakyuu 14 gets 34... Which is an 8.5! The game should do well on PS2 and Wii. I think the PS2 version will start stronger... But PS2 games tend to fall really hard 2nd week since the nextgen consoles are out. I think the Wii version will outsell it in the end cause of stronger leggs on the platform..

Dragon Quest swords not bad either! 33 is 8.25 = 8.3. And with the Dragon Quest brand it should sell really well on Wii! Propelling the system towards or over the 100k mark for the Week. Hopefully it has legs and reaches 800k in Japan. Luckily it seems Dragon Quest Wii isn't bad AT ALL!... My clouds of fear all vaporized ...

Good News,

I hope we see some direct demonstration today and tomorrow and some trailer, but in english please.

ugh i expected 36-37/40 for DQS =(

@ Neos... 36-40... 36 maybe... But 40?!... A little optimistic?! ?!

EDIT: And 33 is still good! it's an 8.3. So it should garantuee the game does well!

no i mean like, of 40, so 36-37

37 is a little hard, since that means one of the 4 critics would have to give it a perfect score.

that's simply not gonna happen for a game like DQS. surprising somebody actually gave it a 9.

everything above 8 is terrifc. i hope it comes to the US... do they ever localize these kind of games?

that's great news, I was in fear that the game will be bad...

If it sells well you can expect that Lingys, because they will bring Dragon Quest Monsters to the west as well.

Guaranteed first week sales > 400k. Simple as that...

400k?!... On a system that has like 2.7 mil sold in Japan?!... I expect like 250-300k...

maybe yes maybe not

but be assured that he will have this number in the tw first weeks.
