That's so depressing to hear. Feels like half of the reason I got into gaming (Japanese devs) no longer get any attention. I can only see the scan ban being what was behind this, which I total understand and agree with. Thanks for the insight.

To be frank, half the Gematsu articles we link have scans embedded in the article, or lots of screenshots and videos, and no one seems interested regardless.

The forum tends to heavily favor AAA games and Japan makes very few of those anymore. We had tons of "BEST TGS EVER!?!?!" posts the year where pretty much only Final Fantasy XV and Metal Gear Solid V got much coverage because that was two AAA games, and thus much more than the few years prior. If we look at excepts like Nintendo, they do direct to consumer marketing instead of using magazines, and their interest is often contained to the Nintendo Direct threads unless they're very popular titles.

These threads also died way down over the years, and similarly it was due to a lack of interest in the games being released.
 
I'm not sure Gundam Breaker games get localized.
There is an SAE release with english language. So there is a chance they will release that version in the west. No localization though. Multiple threads on gaf about this.

Seems pretty likely since the same deal is already happening for EXVS Force.

Such a shame. I normally lean towards indie, Japanese, and first and second party games from Sony and Nintendo. Feels like the first two barely get love here.

I think the scan ban only makes it harder to talk about breaking news on up and coming Japanese games, but that's hardly the main problem. I've just noticed that there's less and less interest in general on the internet at large for more obscure Japanese games. Even if we're not talking about new games, hardly anyone wants to have discussions about old games or old developers other than the same old stuff people are already familiar with in popular media. We've tried to reignite interest in stuff like that a few times, but it's just hard because putting effort into drawing people's attention to cool stuff doesn't pay off when the threads get like 20 replies. :(

So with Nintendo's seemingly rather barren lineup this year, and their known big hitter being published by TPC, is there any chance they won't be the top publisher this year? Or would their small upcoming lineup + the leg brigade + NX launch keep them on top?

Obviously this is assuming they don't unveil a deluge of big 3DS games tomorrow, but seeing what we've had the last two years I doubt there will be much big stuff.

Yodobashi Camera: Wii U stock's notice



Wii U Premium and Wii U Super Mario Maker Set new shipment will arrive this Saturday 5th of March. Units are limited, and just one console per person can be bought. Pre-orders opened until they run out of units.

GamesMaya also mentioned that the new Wii U shipment will arrive this Saturday.
And I think that will be the norm for the rest of big retailers.

How is Wii U selling worse than Nintendo's expectations, yet they still don't have enough to sell?

Good to see this game has sold that well. Don't know if DQVIII crossed the million mark with digital included yet, but hope it does soon.

Etrian Odyssey V pre-orders have already started. It's selling quite well on Rakuten. We will see where is positioned in the weekly stuff.

I'm confused, why don't we have 2DS numbers?

Because the bundles are limited (not just quantities, but also the stores they're sold at). As Chris and hiska-kun explained in the previous thread, Media Create and Famitsu most likely don't have a big enough sample to be able to make accurate estimate.

Maybe because 2DS is limited to just some stores, they can't give an accurate estimate with their sample.

In other words, we will have to wait for April, and Nintendo's financials for FY 2015-16 to get shipment data.

Nintendo should fund/develop a Mega Man game, since Capcom never will ;_;

One would assume Capcom are funding the Megaman game currently in development...

The main question is what type of Mega man game is it. Im sure we will get leaks from the upcoming show first which will give us a good idea of the game.
