Koei Tecmo “The fated battle begins.” |announcement on Dec 6| PS4, Switch, PC
- Thread starter Mega Man Zero
- Start date
I'm waiting for a Samurai Warriors 4 Definitive Edition to come out on Switch with all content from SW4 and SW4-II (II is supposedly just an expanded version no?).
Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition is coming to Switch worldwide on Dec 27th, soooo get to it KT! :P
Idol All Stars musou, featuring Love Live, Aikatsu, Pripara, Idolish 7, Im@s, UtaPri and many more.
Probably a musou game, but If some odd chance it is Ninja Gaiden 4 I will flip out. I am excited either way.
I fucking hope not. SW4 was the most dull musou game I ever played. I called NG:Black remaster a week ago in another thread, sticking by that.
SW4-II isn't an expanded version. It has story and game modes that are distinct from the first game. In the past, it would have been an Xtreme Legends expansion before Capcom won that lawsuit regarding console game expansion patents or something (that I guess was later overturned?)
Samurai Warriors 5.
Now with a whole story for Ranmaru that Westerners can actually get to play.
... please?

Hoping/expecting Ninja Gaiden of some sort
Wanting A Ninja Gaiden of some sort, or PreCure Musou
Will probably get another freaking R3K game.

The Xbox One sells like shit in Japan. Any Xbox One games they make of major releases are typically ports for the west, because they'll sell jack-shit at home.
If Sega wanted to tap the lucrative(Spoilers: It's not) musou market they would do it themselves as they have shown they are not against spinning off the Yakuza brand on their own.
So they can't make a port for the XB1 but they'll have one ready for port for the PS4 and PC here in America?
It's past tiresome to see this blatant disregard for the Xbox platform as if Xbox gamers don't appreciate Japanese games too.
Uh, no. That's not what I meant at all.
When this game gets an international release, an Xbox One port will likely be made. They're not going to even bother marketing a game for the Xbox One in Japan. The game would not sell. That's not Japanese developers being insulting. That's the reality of the situation. The Xbox One audience in Japan is minuscule. There is literally no point in expending any energy on anything Xbox One related to the console gaming audience there.
They would likely be fine with porting to XBOX if MS pay for the porting. Japanese developers have tight budgets, they have to be careful about how they spend their funds. They are more like AA developers than AAA, and I personally like them that way.
If your game sells 80%+ of your copies within Japan, and Xbox is like less than 1% install base compared to PS4, why the hell would you port it to Xbox? It's a lot less work to localize a game than it is to port it to a different platform.
I wasn't directing that anger toward you to be clear but I took your comment to mean that since the XB1 doesn't sell well over there they wont even bother with a port here in America.
I'm not asking for them to market it for those in Japan for the platform I'm asking why isn't the XB1 even on the table for eventual release. Too many Japanese publishers ignore ports for their games to the platform and I don't quite understand why. The Kingdom Hearts collection comes to mind where there is clearly a market for the games on the Xbox platform here in America with many asking for it but they're not releasing it for the system while releasing KH3. What's up with that?
Almost every Japanese game in Japan is either PS4 only or PS4\Switch. Xbox nor PC is never in the equation but when the games get localized th4y get an X1 and PC version. So when this gets announced for the West, it's coming to everything.
Ah...So it's a matter of the funding to port it over. I understand more now.
So then Xbox gamers need to get at MS on them putting out a strong effort to get these games ported. Thanks my man.
Oh ok. I just assumed it meant it'll only ever release for the platforms in the OP. I'm learning. Thank you.
That has to do with exclusivity with Sony. They even have the special edition PlayStation and the "All in One" along with the collections. Though I don't understand how that's surprising to you considering Square and Sony go hand to hand. All of Square-Enix's games get Sony exclusivity first and foremost before even considering potential other platforms, if there are even any. Usually it's just PS4\PC. But it's not really a matter of funding. Maybe for niche Japanese games funding is the issue and if Microsoft makes an effort, they can get them, but not from games from a big company like Square. Sony will always get the exclusivity on Japanese games over Xbox with these companies and games.

I would say it's hard to judge demand from our limited perspective.
We think there's a demand because of the one hundred or so posters on a forum yelling about it but when the game comes out the sales doesn't reflect the demand, as Sega soon finds out.
