The German Shepherd isn't in the Japanese Chihuahua package, actually. But I agree that they rock!

Zeo · Aug 30, 2005

The bomba shit is so annoying now. Give it a rest.

Especially when the series has never been huge there.

9 / 8 / 8 / 8 - (33/40)

littlewig · Aug 30, 2005

Castlevania will probably come in at 30k-50k this week, considering it opened at number 4 on release date with stiff competition.

Bomba indeed.... oh

Is Castlevania popular anywhere anymore? Aria of Sorrow didn't perform too well for being one of the most critically acclaimed GBA games ever.

It´s hard for a game to be popular when it disappears from stores one month after its release.

I can't find AoS anywhere... not even used

...

Virgin Wii · Aug 30, 2005

I saw quite a few copies of Aria at a local Kay Bee (sp?) a few months ago.

EDIT: and yes, I did buy

cvxfreak · Aug 30, 2005

Good thing I sold AoS. While it was a great game, the value was just too good to for me to keep the game.

Pretty usual if you as me. The only two PSP games in the top 20 this month have been a Gundam game, and some Takio Drum Master game for it.

Lost in Blue is performing better than I expected. I really hope it got long legs.

So basically, Japan's only active publishers are Nintendo, Namco/Bandai, and Konami.

Capcom makes an appearance now and then.

Not really. :\

thestopsign · Aug 31, 2005

Well Castlevania will atleast end up better than Oueden. Maybe around 50,000. Oueden sold 11,500 in it's first week and it debuted at #21. So Castlevania might sell close to 20,000 in it's first week. I would say that is fairly okay for a non popular series. On a handheld that gets dominated by Nintendo games. I'm almost certain that Castlevania would do better on the PSP just because it's owners are game starved.

First, I didn't say 14th place in daily chart is good, I said it's performing better than I expected. I wasn't hoping it to debut at number 8. I wasn't hoping it to stay around for as long as a week either, even regaining some ground. So, yes, it's performing better than I expected. With some luck it will end around 25.000 in its first week, and I really hope it gets long legs, like aforementioned.
