Forums - Nintendo - Japan Prefers 2D Tales of Hearts over 3D

nintendo_fanboy on 06 January 2009

The CGI didn't look so bad to me... I just watched the opening though.

Anyways, it would also be fine to me if every single character would look like a pig as long as they'd finally bring another damn tales game to europe...



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

TotW is a spinoff...it won't sells as much.

 

I know it's a mere spin-off, but any predictions for first day/week sales?

It is not about 2D X 3D, it is about crappy 3D models. Androgynous males and crappy clothes don`t look good in 3D (realistic design). If they want good 3D models they will have to change the whole design not just "port" it.

In Japan...it should sell over 100k since TotW: RM had a 112k opening. I think the new one might sell better. I think I'll say 130k.

 

130k? Didn't Tales of Hearts sell 140k, and it was a mainline game?

Just checked vgchartz database, and it was 140k for both versions... http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=24290&region=All

Was talking about first week...

First Tales of the World sold 230k LTD in Japan, it will definitely be interesting to watch and observe. http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=4511&region=All

If I had to judge by the pictures in the OP, I would pic the 2d anime version aswell....

Well...yeah. They are pretty ugly.

But the 3D Tales games like Symhponia, Abyss, whatever haven't sold as much as the 2D ones from Team Destiny.

 

Tales of Symphonia (GC + Ps2) sold 720K in Japan alone, which is the 2nd best selling in Japan. That's beating at least 2 Team Destiny games.

Those are two versions though.

Individually they don't.

No, but combined they do.

lol. I prefer to count them individually.

 

 Why? It makes no sense to count success of titles from single-platform only.
