PD0 =(

 

[op_ivy]

pgr3 for january is great news!

 

[Bebpo]

So I guess that confirms DoA4 should be making the US launch as well.

 

[Bebpo]

So I guess if you were going to get both US and Jpn X360s the only Jpn exclusive games at launch will be EMchant and Everyparty? (not gonna count next-gen Tetris) Then N3 will probably be out in Japan a month or two before it hits the US and Tengai will probably be about 6+ months lead.

Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Special

Typo? Why 4 and not 5? *scratches head*

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

blech. screw launch.

 

[cvxfreak]

Typo? Why 4 and not 5? *scratches head*

DW1 = Sangoku Musou
DW2 = Shin Sangoku Musou

So subtract one from the US number to get the Japanese one.

4 is 5

3 was 4.

They don't count the fighting game in the numbering system.

 

[bloke]

Not really lineup that will sell much 360 Xboxes there, probably only DOA fans and hardcore gaming otakus will get the system, same as with the first Xbox

Tengai Makyou had better see a US release. I've wanted to try this series for a long time...still amazed there isn't a fan patch for Far East of Eden Zero after all the effort put into getting the game emulated.

 

[mutsu]

Not a bad launch lineup, but could have been better...

Other than Ridge Racer 6, I don't see any other games that is going to attract new audience to the X360.

 

[Ghost]

I dunno, i think eM fits the bill as well.



wonder how many of these games will make US/Pal launch dates.

You underestimate the power of the RR franchise. The Japanese eats up Ridge Racer over there.

Considering how poorly the Xbox did in Japan I think at minimum they needed to be launching with Final Fantasy XI and Resident Evil 5 just to convince people over there maybe it's not a complete error of judgment to buy this new hardware. It really would take a monumental software lineup to turn things around in Japan and I don't think the lineup posted here foots the bill at all. Unless one of these games turns out to be a surprise phenomenon it seems like it will be business as usual with regards to Xbox and Japan.

Good point, but they can't delay their system for two years to launch with a certain game.

they need Halo 3

Well, two big launch titles is better than one. It'll launch fairly well, but something's gotta be done about December and January.

 

[jimbo]

I thought FFXI was planned for the Japanese launch.

 

[DarkCloud]

FFXI beta is planned for both Japan and US launch last I read. The actual game is likely a January release though.
