oh yea it had more commercials than any other game by quite a bit. I thought that was the type of game that was popular now like monster hunter.

The strange thing was the RE5 commercials, i think i saw about 5 of them, but even the commercial says it comes out in march.

Then there was the LBP commercials, saw a few of them don't even know why they bother anymore the game is done.

lots of dissidia commercials and even the one for the final fantasy potion.

I saw 1 commercial for klonoa, 1 for lets tap, and 1 for tatsunoko vs capcom, they weren't advertised much but they had something.

WKC was advertised right?

My theory is that those games are popular...but only on PSP. Let's take Phantasy Star Portable for example - it ousold all the Phantasy Star Universe games combined. I expect Dynasty Warriors: MULTI RAID to follow the trend as well. For some reason, PSP userbase in Japan prefers multiplayer games...

Thanks for all the info on gaming (and commercials) in Japan.

you are probably right, the monster hunter players are probably the same people playing phantasy star. It will be interesting to see how it does on wii then, but i think monster hunter is so huge it move the people over while a game like phantasy star isn't enough to start a trend.

I'm worried about this games quality, since the Famitsu review, however I believe that this will be informative when determining how Famitsu does or does not affect sales of Japanese eccentric games, in Japan, against relative userbases.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I think it will sell quite well, I just dunno if it will sell like the portable counterparts.
