Yakuza I & II HD

Yakuza 1 + 2 HD is so...random.
But it's history: it's the first Yakuza title coming to a non-Sony platform :lol
All right, so after the Direct, we've got Sonic for Wii U/3DS and Yakuza 1 + 2 HD (though oddly none of the other games, so this might be an interest gauge?).
Well, I guess that is at least some third party support.

Did we finally work out how Sega counted their SKU's from the financial report?
Obviously at least 2/7 WiiU are now accounted for.
Shouldn't it be three?

Yeah, i dont think that Monster Hunter is the very first game of its kind (the concept of fighting monsters in that particular way) indeed.Funny thing is, PSO predates Monster Hunter, if anything Monster Hunter is a PSO clone.
That could be. I'm not sure how the japanese gamers in general sees it. Monster Hunter is the most dominant serie in the genre by a far margin, especially in the west, so in that way i guess it is why it is still being referred as a clone. We probably need to see more games like this before it is more seen as a genre rather than a clone.Isn't that mainly us spectators here in the west though? I was under the impression that the games have already "gotten their own genre" in Japan - Hunting Action.
Its the 3rd release of those games, so i think they would have to add some great new and exclusive content to the WiiU version for it to have a chance to sell good/great.I'm curious as to how much this is worth. Yakuza's a strong franchise.
Maybe this was announced previously, but it's the first time I see any screenshots/footage of this game, if I'm not mistaking myself.
I don't know if you want to say that you did not know anything about "The Cave" or if you did not know anything about "The Cave" coming out for WiiU.
Relaunch time.Pikmin 3 and NSL U retail are launching the same day in Japan right?(7/13).

Sega is not publishing Lost World and Mario and Sonic in the EU at the very least.

Relaunch time.
Honestly i havnt played PSO, so i cant say that much about it. I've just seen people mention it now and before. But i was thinking more about how far one wants to do the comparisons (goes for other games than PSO as well) Like you say, there are some similarities. It doesnt really matter that much though in my opinion, the games are unchanged regardless of how one defines it. I think that the word "clone" feels like some discredit towards a certain game rather than saying that a game is in a certain genre, but maybe that isnt the intention though.Um, PSO was a button mashing dungeon crawler. You had big bosses, but it's largely focused on mobs of enemies and level grinding. There's similarities, but they aren't the same genre. You don't fight the bosses in the same way at all.
I don't know if you want to say that you did not know anything about "The Cave" or if you did not know anything about "The Cave" coming out for WiiU.
It's a Double Fine game (Ron Gilbert) and it's free this month to European PSN+ subscribers.
I kind of vaguely recall this was announced for Wii U, but I have never seen a single screenshot until this was showed at ND, I must have missed it.
Japan is now (sadly) Wii U's strongest market and it's already at Wii pricepoint, so I'm hesitant to guess a price cut there either. I think we definitely need one in the US though, and a drastic one at that ($50-100) to jumpstart things in August. Europe seems a bit fucked no matter what though.Yup. I won't go so far as to say there will be a price cut, but releasing those 2 titles the same day on a Saturday seems odd, plus you have a relatively steady stream of titles announced after that.

Didn't catch the European presentation. Someone else is publishing?
I would think Europe would be Sonic's stronghold.
They probably want to relaunch and do a price cut before the PS4 arrives and to combat a possible PS3 price drop, so it makes sense.
I really don't think the Wii U needs a price cut in Japan but that may change depending on what the prices of the PS3 and PS4 look like post E3.

As for this thing with relaunch.
If there is a relaunch every time a redesign, a big title or a price drop happen there are many relaunches for every system.
[3DS] Shin Megami Tensei IV [Limited Edition] <RPG> (Atlus) (¥25.880)
I don't think SMT IV has that same limited edition in Japan.
30% of PS3 sales would be quite an improvement over the 10% crusty Wii U ports tend to get.Yakuza I & II HD
Get that 20k LTD hit.
So ? Why should they stop when most of those are highly successfull so far ?
Ragnarok Odyssey - 300k WW (shipments+digital)
PSO2 - nearly 100k sales in retail, with another 250k or so downloads for free version - Japan only
SS - 200k in Japan retail only, good hardware boost, not bad performance in west which should at least match RO numbers there (actually more since RO wasn't retail release in PAL)
And it's going to flop.
Don't forget Pac ManBy mere days, Wii U avoided having absolutely zero announced Japanese third-party support. Good timing!
Speaking of Pac Man, does it have a Japanese release date?JP's release schedule on the HP:

America is Sonic's biggest market by a decent margin. Probably because it was also by far the biggest market for Sonic's major platforms (MD/Gensis, GG, DC) in Sega's hardware days.
Wii Fit U was submitted for classification ratings months ago, we know Wonderful 101 has been essentially finished for weeks now from comments out of Platinum and G&W was released in Japan in March, and likely complete much earlier. It's not development issues, Nintendo's strategically holding titles back to bolster the 2nd half.In today's Nintendo Direct they were showing off Game and Wario, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101. All supposed "launch window" games. Wii Fit U fallen even further away from when it was expected. This suggests that Nintendo's been having development issues.
Seriously, if you can't accept reality with Wii U you'd better stay away from posting in sales threads.and the hate continues lol
