[jett]

japanese gamers are beyond hope. losers.

 

[Kiriku]

Go Colossus! Even though that's quite a big drop. :/
And I'm a bit surprised to see the PSP Brain Training game still up there.

What is Daredemo Asobi Taizen BTW?

 

[Jonnyram]

japanese gamers are beyond hope. losers.

And if it sold more in Japan than the US?

 

[Mrbob]

That top 10 is still a joke!

 

[Mau ®]

Go Wander!!!

 

[Meier]

I know the Pachislot games are always like 2800 yen or some other discounted price, but it amazes me how they continue to sell so well.. how many different pachinko simulation games do Japanese gamers need?

 

[Fuzzy]

Go Wander!!!

It's only about 42K behind Ico's LTD.

 

[jj984jj]

It'd be funny if PSP's best selling game becomes Sega's Brain Training game. :lol

Looks like assorted games.

And by assorted, I mean a hell of a lot.

Wasn't the DC's best selling game in Japan Seaman? I remember it stayed on the charts for ages and ages, about a year.

But it would be more ironic in this case since PSP fanboys bash the DS's "non-games," so if this becomes the best selling PSP game in Japan I'd be lmao.

It's cheap too.

 

[cvxfreak]

I'm pretty sure a lot of Japanese gamers find the US charts to be equally pathetic.

They probably laugh at all the FPS, Sports (except WE9), & Racing games on it.

 

[Aika'svyse]

So is Sega doing well this year, it sure seems so?

 

[Trident]

They probably laugh at all the FPS, Sports (except WE9), & Racing games on it.

Hell, I do too.

 

[Osorio]

They probably do, but it doesn't make these charts any better unfortunately.

Yep, so the shittiness is mutual across regions!

I guess so, the UK's charts are nothing to brag about either.

When you talk "shittiness", are you referring to the numbers or the titles -- or both?

 

[koam]

Licensed games and roster update sport games for the win!

 

[Osorio]

Mostly the titles because it's great how some people from the UK apologize about their country's bad taste in the UK charts threads. I think the numbers are fine since UK is the 3rd largest market as an individual country isn't it?

9. DS Pokemon Torouze - Pokemon - 15,785 (112,459)

Proves that anything with Pokemon in it just sells like hotcakes.

2. DS Daredemo Asobi Taizen - Nintendo - 58,376 (new)

Not bad... I was expecting more though. But this one will have legs I am sure of that.

On an unrelated note, I just found out that Frontier Stories placed 48th in sales the week it was released.

Japan fucking sucks.

Brain Training ships 1 million

pretty amazing.

.....do you even know what it is?

 

[Flo_Evans]

yay go Pachislot Simulator!!!

 

[DCharlie]

"I would have bought it, but everyone told me it sucks."

Mrs Charlie also concured that it was a bit weak.

Looks fairly interesting though, might snag her copy.

YES I DO.

Dengeki numbers are out:

Pachislot: 107,000
Daredemo Asobi Taizen: 58,000
Beatdown: 43,000
PSP Nouryoku Trainer Portable: 25,000 / 88,000
Yawaraka Atamajuku: 647,000

 

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

YES I DO.

ah, so you're a liar, not a twit

 

[BorkBork]

I'm shocked that Tamagotchi is still up there.

 

[Dalthien]

I'm shocked that Tamagotchi is still up there.

Don't be. It will outsell every single PSP game released yet in Japan within a month- possibly within the next 2 weeks, if sales hold up. If nothing else, it shows that 3rd party games can be very successful on the DS.

 

[Jonnyram]

ah, so you're a liar, not a twit

Yeah, not everyone said it sucks, I guess.
But then again, should I trust the views of someone who has a Hanjuku Hero avatar?

going by your avatar, then, you can be considered extremely tasteful and highly original?

Dude, what the hell is your problem...

Of course
Psygnosis were responsible for plenty of classics, nevermind giving DMA Design (now known as Rockstar) a break in the industry.

Why are you so defensive about CIMA anyway?

yeah, but, now you've used their awesome owl logo for something evil :\

I defend CIMA because it was a fucking great idea that obviously was quite flawed. I read an interview that said it was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy - and, much like with Beyond Good and Evil's intended trilogy, I believe the second and third titles may never come, no matter how much I want them.

Also, it had some really great music for a GBA game, thanks mainly to the work of Yasunori Shiono and Yukio Nakajima - two great composers who shone brightly during the SNES era (Lufia 2, Energy Breaker, Chaos Seed), but have since composed very little.

And, finally, it's Neverland. They could help co-produce another ten or twenty Rengokus, and make Lufia Kart and Lufia Xtreme Snowboarding and whatever else, and they would still be deserving of love because <i>for God's sake they made Lufia 2.</i>

So, yeah. CIMA may be a mess, but it's one of the best messes I've ever played.

*notes they are in fact making another Rengoku*

God dammit.

That's Japan in a nutshell. Everyone kinda likes to do what everyone else is doing. Word of mouth and mutually agreed upon impressions are incredibly powerful factors in determining whether something is cool or not.

I guess the Brain Training games are evidence of that.
