Forums - Nintendo - Phantom Brave Wii a flop?

Well, I'm buyin' it when it comes out in the States in June.

I fully expect it to flop though.  NIS should develop original Wii/DS games to really cash in on the userbase.

never heard of it...

I... probably will as well at some point.

I love the game... and if it really does have new items i may be a sucker for it....

since new skills would rule even though it already has tons.



Phantom Brave sold 150,000 on PS2, 100,000 first week.

Can't say that I'm surprised. I don't think NIS was either since it was selling for the same price as Disgaea 3...

Ah thanks.

So really not much of a surprise.

Wonder what the point was in general.  I mean they had to bother to learn how to addapt stuff to the wii for it.  Wonder if it was a "Practice" project to be different from how they were on Disgea 3 (Spending forever just studying before doing)

Or if they were just trying to tap into the expanded audience.  Probably would help to know how it was marketed in that regard.

I dunno, maybe they had high expectations - Disgaea 2 sold the same amount on PS2, but port sold so much better on PSP.



Never heard of that game before lol.



Handhelds rule the japanese market thats why
