I think the big news here is that Tatsunoko vs Capcom had a bigger first week than Infinite.

Get Niitsuma on TvC2, Capcom!

 

[trejo]

Guess this is the last we'll ever see of the MvC franchise. Sucks to see it go this way.

 

[Tizoc]

Didn't the game get like zero marketing in Japan?

It had zero marketing period i think >_>

 

[mbpm1]

Didn't the game get like zero marketing in Japan?

I feel like it got zero marketing anywhere
People still don't know it's out!

The best Marvel game with no X-Men.

 

[PantsuJo]

I don't understand the point of this thread: it was obvious that a shitty game like MvC:I was going to lost against a well made fighting game, especially on Nintendo platforms.

Especially in Japan.

Does anyone expected a different result?

I didn't expect the drop to be this bad

This is a new low for fighting games in Japan, period.

The numbers are extraordinarily. This a game predicted by the company in question to ship 2 million.

Capcom did.

 

[Lulubop]

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.

Just gonna scare capcom off from making fighters unfortunately.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

What were first week numbers in Japan for MKX and Injustice?

It sold less than USF2. That's pretty amazing feat

 

[Nev]

So what sells more Injustice 2 or Marvel vs Capcom: Infinity?

Never forget.

 

[Principate]

Capcom don't even make very much these days period.

The point is to rib on mvci which has been hated for its artstyle and missing roster since day 1.The game isnt bad, pokemon selling 50k isnt a monumental achievement nor does it prove its better.
It was never a competition bw pokemon and mvc.
The only thing we can say for sure is that mvci is bombed horribly.

 

[Aostia]

Just gonna scare capcom off from making fighters unfortunately.

being a fighting game isn't the reason why MvsC:I sold this poorly imho

 

[Kouriozan]

USF2 also outsold MvCI in Japan. Wow.

Good job Capcom.

 

[oti]

I hope this will not scare marvel off from their initiative to make bigger games.

I don't think they'll care that much. Pretty sure they don't have anything to do with this other than getting a nice suitcase of money from Capcom.

Pokkén DX is not a new game, and is also on a new platform, with a limited installed base. Plus, Marvel vs. Capcom sold half of what Ultra Street Fighter 2 on Switch did, which is pretty embarrassing considering that the latter is a port of two-decade old game.

 

[andymcc]

At least one more probably.

Two. When US numbers suck and when DBFighterZ outsells it and someone

Spoiler

not me

makes a told you so thread.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Capcom is still going to put out multiple character passes for the next 3+ years to support this game service though, right?

 

[JetSetRadio]

Should have made a new Rival Schools.

Mechanical MVCI is a well made game, very well made game.

Yup.

The Pokken game is a re-release of the Wii U game, thread title should have been about USF2 which outperformed MvCi. One is a game Capcom had low expectations for, the other they expect 2 million sales for the fiscal year.

And, nobody expected it to be this low. I suggested it would have been less than 20k sales due to how it was charting on store rankings for sales in Japan when someone else suggested 40k.

 

[BadWolf]

Not necessarily.

If it bombs hard enough then it may not be worth it to Marvel/Capcom to continue on with it.

 

[Platy]

This is a new low for fighting games in Japan, period.

Even for Karnov ? =D

 

[sixteen-bit]

I remember seeing someone post that Itsuno was fighting for this internally. I hope it happens.

 

[Lulubop]

Ok? That's the message capcom is going to take here. Especially after SFV. You think they're going to try another vs game or SF for another decade?

 

[Crayolan]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

Infinite

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Just gonna scare capcom off from making fighters unfortunately.

I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing even more "enhanced" ports of older games like USF2 instead.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Both games are trash.
Speaks about what users really have good taste.

Infinite is a good game with a really shitty art style and roster. They can fix the roster though. The gameplay is nothing but praised as far as I can tell.

Pokken is still pokemon at the end of the day.

why are people shitting on Pokken again

 

[LordOcidax]

how many "MvCI is a bomba" threads will we have?

We need a MvCI Bomba OT.

 

[T.O.P]

Neither game is trash, smh

Fighter Z? We won't have to wait that long. The year late, full-price Switch port of Xenoverse 2 will outsell it this month.

 

[Mr. X]

Marvel IPs outside of Spiderman (which had its own live action series back in the day in Japan) are non-existant.

 

[Lulubop]

I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing even more "enhanced" ports of older games like USF2 instead.

Indeed, if anything.

 

[mbpm1]

why are people shitting on Pokken again

They haven't played it

 

[random25]

Once upon a time, the internet was laughing at USFII, wondering who will buy that overpriced decades old game in 2017. Turns out it is the more bankable fighting game for Capcom than MVCI lol.

 

[phantasmic_glaive]

 

[@MUWANdo]

Can we get some numbers on I2 in Japan?

I don't think it's out yet and I'm not sure it's even coming.

The first one did and I'm pretty sure it sold less than 10k.

What were first week numbers in Japan for MKX and Injustice?

MK has not been released in Japan in a long, long time and probably never will be again.

 

[Ban Puncher]

What happens when Arika's game sells better?

 

[Ridley327]

Note to Capcom: release your next fighting game as far away from a Pokémon fighting game as you can get.

Given these numbers, though, that's assuming we get another one in the first place.

is there a capcom gif? lol

 

[Berordn]

What happens when Arika's game sells better?

SFEX4

(or maybe they already see the writing on the wall and they're in talks with them to make it that already)

 

[Oregano]

Capcom's next investor meeting is going to be a riot.

When will it take place?

 

[LordOcidax]

Pokemon + Nintendo + Switch = Inevitable hate.
