Oh my, if correct then I am importing!

Why wouldn't it be? Bravely Default: For the Sequel had all 7 languages when it came out in Japan, so it makes sense that Setsuna would also get the same treatment, especially since the release is simultaneous.

Anyway, special Famitsu issue this week for the Switch, with:

- 30 pages for the console itself and some of its games (+ recap/collection of previous articles in digital supplement)
- 42 pages for Zelda (though it's mostly guide stuff) + cover
- 6 pages for Disgaea 5 Complete (

Spoiler

the Famitsu pages to actual sales ratio is about 1:10000, so that gives 60k first week sales!

)
- Ultra Street Fighter II interview

What's more, magazine comes out on Friday (instead of Tursday), to coincide with Switch launch.

Apparently that Bravely Default mobile game opens pre-registration today.

I based it more on the fact that the PS4/Vita releases weren't English friendly. Pleasantly surprised by this news now

The PS4/Vita releases were released before the game had been translated.

 

[Ōkami]

The game with the ass was the best selling game on PSN last week, and likely for February as a whole.

Spoiler

That's right, it was Assassin's Creed: Unity

Quite big the amount of space it has at some stores.

 

[hiska-kun]

I don't have any idea about today's leaks. We will have to wait a few hours for the numbers.

 

[Celine]

I blame Opoona.

Opoona is the only good thing that will come from Musou Stars.

Opoona is the only good thing that will come from Musou Stars.

Opoona 2 for Switch when?

William in Samurai Warriors 5 is also acceptable.

May 26th for Ultra Street Fighter II:

Its Western release shouldn't be too far: the game already got a rating from the ESRB

Well, I'm going to be reading this as "New South Wales" for a while, aren't I?

Thank goodness it's not the Nintendo Sfwitch.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Feels tough to predict zelda. 3D zelda doesn't do that great in Japan even on mobile. But on the other hand, people need a game to play at launch.

I'd guess 350K week one.

? The 3DS remasters of OoT/MM sold great. Both sold better than the brand new 2D styled ALBW.

Skyward Sword is the only new 3D main Zelda in the last 20 years that really underperformed.

BotW should do quite well.

[Pankratous]

That's good for Nier right?

 

[DKHF]

That's good for Nier right?

Yes, way better than the first game (it did 60k FW) and the best for Platinum since Metal Gear Rising.

 

[Peterc]

Is 40.062 a good number for a game like Horizon to being new?

 

[Apparition]

It apparently has universal language settings including English.

Source?

 

[Koppai]

Source?

Yeah I want confirmation before I drop $50 on importing...
