Have Crystal Chronicle style games ever performed that well in Japan? Seems that this "Explorer's" game might be in a similar vein.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Well how about that Final Fantasy Explorers 3DS?

 

[Road]

It seems there's a FF game for 3DS which isn't a Theatrhythm coming. FF Explorers. The scan was posted in the big 3DS game roundtable thread (hopefully deleted soon, for the poster's sake :lol).

Final Fantasy meets Monster Hunter.

As usual, Square Enix is 2 years late to the MH copy cat party

Spoiler

I know they did some game whose name I forgot

Ring of Fates did quite well on DS, the screwed up Echoes of Time on DS/Wii though - this could do rather well on 3DS which isnt as limited as the DS was for these kind of action rpgs.

Damn son.

 

[Moor-Angol]

great PSP numbe.... ehm.....

 

[zeromcd73]

Vita going under 10k next week.

 

[Bruno MB]

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth easily outsells the LTD sales of every Etrian Odyssey.

Although expected, Mario Kart 8 has a huge drop (-79%). Wii U hardware weekly sales already near bomb status.

 

[Road]

Maybe Sony should announce they will halt PS4 shipments to Japan next week?

It would give it a 8x boost and it would sell 65k!

 

[Mpl90]

PSP! What the...

Ah, right! Soon to be discounted!

 

[Eolz]

That seems like a good "second" week for Mario Kart imo (not hw obviously, still hoping for a 10k baseline), wasn't it near full shipment last time?
Really great for Persona Q. Hope it makes more Persona fans on Nintendo consoles, and more Etrian Odyssey fans from Nintendo users.

Sony?
All companies should menace with stop consoles production and see if Japan wakes up.

The first Final Fantasy game that isn't like... a rhythm game was announced for 3DS today: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=835541

It's a four player multiplayer game about hunting monsters for crystals.

Conceptually I would normally gravitate to Crystal Chronicles, but the scan looks like they're really playing up the whole monster thing between the screens and the logo.

Persona Q had a huge debut indeed.

Nice debut for Persona Q.

		Pikmin 3		MK8
Week 1 HW	20728			19031
Week 2 HW	14024 (-32%)		12576 (-34%)
Week 3 HW	10937 (-22%)		?

Seems to be following similar curve.

 

[And_Gignac]

Imagine the sales if Persona Q was a proper Persona-game.

Persona 5P incoming!!
