this thread just reminded me that it's been over a year since the last arguably *new* resident evil title and that was a remake.

Imagine of you had 100 needles, and that was the Japanese gaming market of hardcores, in a haystack. Well the DS has made that haystack into a huge barn, full of hay. So the needles are still there, there's probably more now, there's probably around 250, but in a barn full of hay, its also harder to see them. A close look at sales comparisons of previous iterations of games will prove this.
So basically the market has grown.

It appears to be pretty self-explanatory. A question was asked about a game system, and the answer was Wii.DeaconKnowledge said:

Who asked the question? Why where they talking about Wii? What show was this?
It's hardly self-explanatory.

It's probably just another Japanese variety show, they have plenty of quiz-type games in those. They bring up all sorts of random current event stuff for questions.DeaconKnowledge said:
DeaconKnowledge said:
It's... damn. What show is it? The name is on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember it at the moment. It's a typical Japanese comedy show where they often have J-pop stars on, especially the Hello! Project girls. At one point, they have three teams of two people each, and they ask them a series of questions.

Maybe Hey! Hey! Hey! or Utaban? Hello Project acts aren't really on a lot of shows anymore. I don't think it's their Hello Morning show since there's audience members in the background.shidoshi said:
I don't think it's Utaban, the on-screen graphics don't look like the ones typically used on that show. I could be wrong though.
Hot damm, it TRIPPLED it's first day sales? Incredible. And to think I doubted it would make it to 100k in it's first week. How is this title performing in the rest of the world?
Wii Play is the second million seller for Wii is such a short timespawn, wow. Now.. WHO will be the third one.. Super Paper Mario or Big Brain Academy! (I'm guessing SPM).
NSMB missed the top 10 by one spot. FF III finally made it crawling with 2 broken legs to the finish line
Oh, seems like Mario Kart is higher in the charts the past few weeks than before.. why?Pokemon combined is still in the top 10 (according to Famitsu # 9). Just think how high it will end up with, especially when they'll release the third sku that will sell craploads on top of it all.
Nice sales for the rest of the charts.. wait.. what is that I see? two ps3 games in the top 30? Wow, seriously that's very good considering the last few months.
Uhm their never was a true console Pokemon. And if it would come, done completely right like the television shows and as a MMORPG, the Wii would define a new description for the word shortages. It could be far bigger than WoW (8.5 mill worldwide).ComputerNerd said:

Question: is it possible for FFIIIr to out sell the original FFIII (~1.3 million, give or take) in Japan?

Is it one of Sanma Akashiya's shows? Apparently Japanese Wii owners were sent a Sanma mii a few days ago.shidoshi said:

YIDS was in the top 10 software for December NPD (per sonycowboy's post).
I'm shocked at its performance.

How can you not accuse Capcom of sequelitis? It's not possible, all companies make new IPs and Capcom has been putting a effort to making more than they usually do recently (esp. on the 360) but Capcom is up there with Nintendo and Square-Enix when it comes to milking franchises. Atlus doesn't exactly let go of the SMT brand either, only on the DS recently did they let a R&D1 team make new IPs.

I think you might be guessing wrong - neither Paper Mario or Paper Mario 2 passed 1 million, with PM only just making it past 500,000 IIRC. Both games came out well into the lifespan of the N64 & the 'Cube and while Mario is having something of a resurgence thanks to recent DS outings, I would be surprised if SPM broke 500,000, let alone a million.
Big Brain Academy has a better chance, IMO, as it would seem to appeal to the audience who snapped up Wii Sports and Wii Play and - while not as successful as the Brain Training series - its first installment proved to be very popular. Whether it can make the jump to the Wii remains to be seen - in fact, you could look at it as the first test of whether Nintendo have succeeded in positioning the Wii as the sitting room version of the DS. Can big DS franchises move to Wii, or is the portability key to their appeal?

This is the worst news ever. Or maybe not if there actually were a lot of tennis games on Wii. I though Sega's position was that they are looking at how they could adapt the controls? do you have a source for this?
Honestly, I really don't think Wii need to take over the world or anything like that to make bowling, boxing, tennis, golf and volleyball games on any other console not a terribly smart business proposition. If Wii was selling half of what PS3 was, it would still be a better idea to have a tennis game on Wii then on PS3. Of course the publishers are determined to port Fight Night to PS3, VT to 360 and so on.

1) Holy shit at Layton's sales going *up* from last week. UNSTOPPABOW
2) It's so cute that some of you guys think that Gundam's drop in sales is because of supply constraints and not the fact that every video game not on the Nintendo DS drops massively in its second week, let alone games on the PS3's tiny userbase.
3) I feel bad for a little over 300,000 people right now.

Well, "platformer" is a bit of a stretch based on what we know about the title - it isn't anything like a pure platformer like NSMB or YIDS. I certainly wouldn't rule stellar sales out, but I am struggling to see it as anything but a solid second-tier title in the vein of Smooth Moves.
Quite happy to be surprised, though!

Now that L5 has found success with Layton... do you think the DS will get a real RPG from them? Aside from DQIX, which is being funded by Enix anyway.

Yeah. I was completely destroyed by a stomach virus right in the middle of GDC, but I was 99% better by Friday.farnham said:

So basically now that they've found success, you think that they should completely put the brakes on the whole formula for their success and make something totally derivative? What an awesome idea.Chris Michael said:

Why not this and that?
My personal feelings is that SPM is going to be a moderate bomba, and something for the "stupid argument posters" to run with in MC threads for the forseeable future.
1.)"REAL games wont sell on the Wii"
2.)"Looks like the DS's success cant be translated to the Wii"
3.)"Mario Galaxy isnt going to do any better"
AND so on and soforth.

Totally agree, it'll probably having good to great sales out of the gate, and I could easily see this one having legs. Same with Big Brain Academy. The only thing that could see hurting the initial sales for either of these games is the number of Wii's out there.
The release of those two could cement the Wii's #1 position console-wise for the rest of the year. Has Nintendo been advertising Super Paper Mario?
I agree on Big Brain Academy and I think it'll have legs that'll cary it (just like Wii Sports and Wii Play show every week, but to a lesser extent). But I think SPM could do good too. I know it's a wildcard but I think that people will see it more as a console mario platformer than the third Paper Mario game (which it isn't), which will hopefully lead to more gamers that want to play it (and 3 Mario games on DS turned out to be hugely succesfull). Oh and if Nintendo doesn't screw up it will most likely have far better launch numbers than BBA in it's first week so perhaps it will make it to non-game status before BBA doesCosmonaut X said:
But I guess we'll know more soon enough when both games will launch At the very least it'll be very interesting.XiaNaphryz

Nah, that's a group. He's probably thinking of the Hello Morning show that various Hello Project acts (including MoMusu) do random stuff on.Saitou said:
SPM will be very telling, really the best barometer of the future of the Wii released this spring. It poses several questions:
1) How deep is the new-found excitement for Mario? Does it extend beyond the DS and beyond strictly retro-styled games?
2) Can Wii software succeed beyond the motion-dependent mechanics of Wii Sports and Wii Play?
3) How transferrable is DS success to Wii success in general? (Big Brain Academy will also address this.)

New Super Mario Bros. is officially the best-selling game in Japan, ever*. This changes things, a lot. Do I think Super Paper Mario is a guaranteed million-seller? No. But Mario is now literally one of the hottest properties in Japan, and therefore this is going to do very well.
You can't -- can't -- just look at the sales of Paper Mario on GameCube and believe that there is any relevance there whatsoever, anything in that data that would suggest a figure for SPM. Not only has everything changed since then, but SPM is a side-scrolling action game, not an RPG.
*Or it's very close to it; at any rate it will be eventually.
