Actually mario rabbids is published by Nintendo in Japan...The main reason Snack World is interesting is that it could potentially be the 2nd 3rd party game to sell over 100K in 2018. Since Dark Souls was pushed back and DQB/AOT2 have only now broken through 50K - Snack World during Labo and Golden Week should overtake both.
Overall based on the retailer ranking I expect Snack World's second week to be between 10-15K and by it's third week for the game to be infront of both DQB and AOT2.
Some unnecessary stuff:
-First,today is the third anniversary of Bravely Second
-Second,Asano's Team is now called BD11
Yes. It was 12 originally but some of the mobile/browser teams merged.weren't there 10 divisions before? sounds like Asano's team got spun off into his own division. interesting
Yeah. It may move PS4 sales closer to the 20k mark though.GoW will not have any significant leg. It will come and go in Japan.
They will call it "FF and Saga cloning studio" and you will like it :PI thought SE don't like BD structure anymore? Now seems to be a good chance to give Asano's team a name of a studio.
when the clones are better than the OG games, who's gonna complain?They will call it "FF and Saga cloning studio" and you will like it :P
a certain ffxv fan *ehem*when the clones are better than the OG games, who's gonna complain?
I wonder what has Istolia been doing,been over a year since the last time they showed people their project thoughI still don't understand fully, did BD2 become Luminous or did Luminous split off from them? Luminous Productions seems to be working outside the BizDev structure too, like Visual Works, Taito, Tokyo RPG Factory or Studio Istolia.

so what does BD2 even do now? or is there just a hole that will eventually be filled for some kind of niche?From what i understand, the majority of BD2 are now at luminous, and judging from the FF7 recruiting ad some of BD2 went to work on FF7 remake.

The game could surprise. Does it not already face supply issues?GoW will not have any significant leg. It will come and go in Japan.
I was under the impression that talking about Snack World was in the context of Snack World once being Level-5's multimedia ace in the hole after declining Yokai Watch sales and not necessarily because it's a switch port. Have they even made those NFC keychains that work with the game as initially revealed?Guys we have talked more about Snack World these past few weeks than any other 3rd party game. Meanwhile Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2018 is casually dropping this week and will do much much better. There is a disconnect, because we latch on to the barely significant scraps thrown at the Switch from the 3rd parties, when the PS4, that is ridiculed weekly, is still so far ahead. Yes I find it midly amusing.
Yeah, although FIFA was revealed at the January 2017 event, so they couldn't use the 'untapped market' technique that they used for Bomberman for PES.First FIFA, now Famista... Konami sleeping on Switch is really leaving yen on the table for their competition.
Its up normally in amazon JPThe game could surprise. Does it not already face supply issues?
GoW will likely have good numbers release, but dont strike me as a game that would have legs, at least in JapanI hope God of War has a good opening and some legs; it really deserves the sales. It seems like it gained some traction in Japan over the last week.
Yeah I'm hearing reports that the sales picture for Labo is just lackluster with plenty of domestic store inventory left unsold. I wonder if popularity will grow on word-of-mouth or if this is more DOA?
Also curious to see if it's a phenomenon for just the domestic market or if we'll see similar weakness in the western market.

kirby was march.I obviously understand the context, it's just an observation while I'm bored at work. Even Labo isn't going to open that high and it's literally the most exciting thing coming out on the platform in 6 months.

PS exclusivity is only something from the post-Wii years. And Konami did bring Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Heroes (a spin-off?) to the 3DS in December 2016, so so they haven't been completely absent since then.Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu is usually on Sony platforms in recent years, while famista series is usually on nintendo platforms. So this is nothing to be surprised.

Asano's team breaking away from BD6 to form BD11 is cool. I wonder if any other staff went (Nier), if perhaps BD6 is moving back to DQ only?
edit: Actually there's another unnumbered division in BD structure. It's the localization group, sometimes called Extreme Edges Team, that handles things like Japan releases of SE Europe games or co-producing Spelunker with Tozai.
Powapuro has a long history on Nintendo platforms. It just skipped Wii U for obvious reasons but came to every other Nintendo system (except VB) since it's SFC debut, usually regularly. It would be unisual for it to skip Switch given the platform's breakout success and Powapuro's own decline on PlayStation.Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu is usually on Sony platforms in recent years, while famista series is usually on nintendo platforms. So this is nothing to be surprised.
