What's Magic Wand? Takt of Magic? I wanted that game, it looked like Fire Emblem in real time with Arx Fatalis' rune combining spell casting.

Though it was probably nothing like that in the end.
well it was the sequel to

I didn't accuse anyone of any long term bias or alignment other than point out completely insane speculation they made on top of their rational points that nobody disagreed with, yet somehow kept getting repeated as if argued. Just saying. The HD thing was all his own talk.

Yeah, that doesn't tell me much as I don't have a DS, only a (pretty damn good) PC, Wii and PSP.

I thought it's common knowledge that after I associated him with Hero of Legend the last time, he PM'd me with evidence that he sold his Wii and DS and bought 4 PS3s in different colors. He's a certified anti-Nintendo fanbot now. Serious!

we also sent him an PS3 and 10 PSPGo!s... (watch the numbers on PspGo! shoot up next week!)

Yeah scheulma your anti-Nintendo rants have gone on long enough!


Shut up Wii lover. You probably wear Iwata pajamas to bed don't you?

Don't deny it- I'm the one who gave them to you!

I was laughed out of the thread for suggesting that maybe Nintendo just doesn't care about the domestic market like they used to. But that's what I see. They can sell more Wiis in December in NA than they can in Japan in a whole year.

Hardware was steady for every console this week except for psp which went down a bit. Next week the streams will cross again for Wii and PS3 after 12 weeks of Wii on top (unless Everyone's Recommendation Selection rises Wii hardware sales, ha)

About Nintendo abondoning Wii...
It's obvious that they have really messed the release schedule for Q1 and a big period of Q2, but even then they have yet to announce what they will have for Golden Week and NSMBW holds Wii hardware well. Q3 and Q4 are strong again though, like last year, with Wii entering them at better position.

Nice stealth edit:lol

Anyway, schuelma is probably right in that he won't last long. The more militant fanboys rarely do.
Keep your labels to yourself, I've done nothing to indicate fanboyism for any one company, I've discussed anything from PC, to PSP, multiplatform and Wii games, freeware and indie games in this forum. If you only enter topics like this for the heated "debates" and rampant speculation (which tends to only happen about the Wii really, regardless of anyone's alignment), that's your own problem. Though obviously I tend to lean on the platforms I do own, and PC discussion is nowhere near as prelevant as Wii around here. At least for the games that interest me.

Golden week = DQMJ2 and Peace Walker. I don't expect any other serious contenders.

I'm going to start calling you doomed2 from now on. I hope you don't mind. If you do... too bad. :lol

You are pretty militant, and that shit will get you banned.

That depends, is he banned?

Does it not have anything to do with "gamer" ? How could it have anything to do with DS, when I don't own one...
Hence, 'not a gamer'.

You're not very good at this 'logic' thing, are you.

Okay let's all take a deep breath and lower the temperature around here.

Let's discuss the #1 game this week - God Eater. It's at about 400k now after 2 weeks, will it have the potential to overtake Phantasy Star Portable 1? It certainly proves that monster hunter clones with good production values DEFINITELY sell on the PSP though, and that Phantasy Star wasn't just a fluke. It'll be interesting to see how Multiraid 2 does in March especially imo.

So what exactly is this God Eater all about? It just snuck up on me! Should I be worried?

I feel like GE is doing well and I was really impressed when someone (Kurosaki?) pulled a list of best-selling first IP installments and it ended up being really high up on the list. I was initially a little disappointed I guess because I bought into the demo download number hype and was expecting it to blast off a little quicker, but the second week sales are good and I'm certain it'll do well in the long haul.

No commentary on whether it'll beat PSPPSP1 or not because I haven't heard much about the game's quality or ongoing playability since that first post-release "lol infinite gold" coverage.
 
I really hope we get search back up soon. If a poster i recognize get's banned, i always look at their last few posts to see what they might have done

It's a futuristic Monster Hunter with a storyline.
After seeing Shift pleased with more than one million downloads for the demo, I don't think it was all that surprising to see it do well.

Can't see it replicating it's relative success in America with D3 publishing though.

Sorry but your opinion is wrong.

At least you can sexually identify every single character in Grandia 2, not so much in FF XIII.

Fancy GFX don't make for a good art style.

Back to MC, I hope DQVI gets released soon, I've finished IV and V and I'd like to play VI before delving into IX :/ it's sales are quite good though, isn't it faring better than the other DS remakes?

[PSP] Valkyria Chronicles 2: Gallia Military Academy (Sega) - 4.600 / 136.900 / 89,00%

Valkyria Chronicles 2 has yet to sell its first shipment.

Assuming those sellthrough percentages are correct, it did sell the first shipment and has been restocked. Week 1 percentage puts the initial shipment at 138.7K.

...Which character in FFXIII looks androgynous to you, again?

Yeah I think the initial hype had most of us thinking the game might burst through the gates with a first week of over 500k. Probably wasn't very realistic. As far as ongoing playability is concerned, I've been thinking about the "lol infinite gold" exploit and honestly I think it would have the least impact on the sort of game this is. The game is not online and there is no macro community, only many micro communities - like Monster Hunter Portable. This generally means that friends who know each other and play together would generally have their own rules instead of an exploit simply "ruining" an entire game community and economy.

We'll see how it performs over the course of the next month or two, but it certainly seems like Namco did something right this time. Shocking!

You are right. It had an adittional shipment of 15k after its first week. The game is a huge success.
