It's not gonna be a warriors game.

A small preview of the Monster Strike screens from Famitsu this week, from the Weekly Famitsu Channel on NicoNico.

Top right shows some sort of classroom.

Unfortunately, I missed the bit where he showed the scan closer : /

Do you know whether it's digital only or retail/digital btw? I know Famitsu (website) have (or had) it as digital.

What, the game itself?

Looks like something ambitious (aka: not just a port), so it's most likely retail/DL game. Maybe we'll get more details about that in Famitsu this week.

Also, sliiiightly better pic of the Famitsu magazine, still from the stream (went and checked the timeshift):

going to be interesting to how the gameplay is, unless they are just going to port that in

 

[duckroll]

Next week's Famitsu is also going to have some sort of announcement for Granblue Fantasy. Wonder if we'll get yet another mobile to consumer soft announcement.

[Chris1964]

I see it from now. Attack on Titan: Warriors > 500k, Attack on Titan: Warriors 2 < 200k.

PS3 figures? I think the combined figures if you add PS4 will be higher!

 

[Busaiku]

A warriors game wouldn't even make sense.

 

[Nirolak]

A warriors game wouldn't even make sense.

Sure it would. You play as the titans.

 

[Fdkn]

Sure it would. You play as the titans.

That's the only way to make AoT interesting. I'm in

 

[Chris1964]

They made a musou game with gundams, they can make one with titans.

 

[vinnygambini]

It's not a musou game.

Spoiler

Refers to Dragon Quest Heroes announcement

 

[Vena]

It's not a musou game.

Spoiler

It was still a musou game.

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, but Gundams fighting each other is the expected.
Titans not so much. Unless it's Titans vs people.

It was still a musou game.

That's the joke.
But this time I can believe them.
They do make Toukiden after all.

 

[vinnygambini]

It was still a musou game.

Well, in case it happens, here's some context: Granblue Fantasy's grossing performance since launch (on iOS)

The game launched on May 1st, 2014, and it started a bit slowly, between 30th to 60th, with 16th as highest result in the first month. It left top 100 briefily around mid-July, then it went back around the 30th to 60th zone (even around 80th). But, as you can see, the game's grossing improved with time, with far more appearances in top 20, if not near the top 10, and even in the top 10 itself. In the past few months, it appeared between 10th and 30th, except some sporadic periods outside of that zone.

 

[dakkumauji]

not to be mean but that graph is pretty bad lol

but there has been a big granblue fantasy push lately

had a whole bunch of figures announced at the last wonfes which is pretty unheard of for a just a mobile game

 

[Spiegel]

I see it from now. Attack on Titan: Warriors > 500k, Attack on Titan: Warriors 2 < 200k.

So true.

 

[Moor-Angol]

Famitsu scans are now allowed again on neogaf ?

I clearly remember they weren't... or at least something recent, if you post a 1999 scan page don't think it's against their policy

The ones L-A showed were from Famitsu's own livestream, so they were willingly showing a page of their magazine. Also direct-feed ones you see with Famitsu's logo come directly from their website.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's strange; someone else had this kind of comment earlier:

No scans allowed

Edit: oh, never mind then

Pretty sure scans that have been shown officially by Famitsu or the company that owns the game in question have always been allowed.

ah ok, didn't know it was showed on livestream

and what about old issues? cause i'm gonna buy some 1995 numbers and i'd like to be sure that old issues are not a problem

 

[saichi]

I still remember that discussion about 500k by the end of the year, just a few weeks ago lol

All I remember is Persona is super popular now and P5 will outsell Splatoon.

Personia is super popular and will outsell Splatuun.

The little magnifying glass lets you change the axis values.

 

[BriBri]

The Battle Cats has now sold more digital than MH4G. Do we have numbers for MH4G? And Cube Creator has been #1 for like 2-3 weeks now fighting off Happy Home Designer and Battle Cats.

Damn son @ Animal Crossing numbers

 

[hiska-kun]

It moved more hardware than expected.
Opening sales are the expected

Splatoon rise

Yeah, a bit surprised by N3DS Sales. Then again, there's that N3DSXL bundle, so that makes sense.

 

[Vena]

PS4 and WiiU bounced upwards a bit as well.

Splatoon!

 

[random25]

Impressive Animal Crossing numbers. That's not surprising.

And Splatoon keeps trucking. As always

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

Splatoon is the new Mario Kart DS/Brain Age

 

[Sammy Samusu]

sdfjh Wrong thread.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Don't start digging old posts when you don't understand what they mean. Especially with what you have predicted for PS4 at past threads.

Seriously, haha. Consoles-war fanboysm is a bad bug

Anyway, how successful (or not) do you guys consider Rythmn Tengoku The Best to be at this point (and Obon will give it another push of course) all things considering? Was the game marketed as a full-fledged sequel or more as a compilation of sorts like its title suggest (iirc new stuff is comparable in numbers to the inclusion of songs from the past 3 titles)?
