It seemed to have been marketed a lot but man did that game not look appealing. FEW somehow seemed more. I don't think the open world was worth it.
That is something that I'm curious to see, do they just go back to classic-style DW for 10 or maybe try to double down on the open world stuff that has been, well, divisive to put it mildly. I imagine the costs to make 9 were higher than previous entries, so maybe they will recoup by making a DW9 Xtreme Legends or something.
Please this.
Yeah Zero 6 seems highly probable at this point. Nintendo made a deal for that freaking snk heroines game I can't see why they wouldn't bankroll a franchise that has a history on their systems. Probably less censorship in the west this time.
They do seem very invested in making Zero their main horror series (Eternal Darkness where u at) and the multimedia venture they did with 5 seem like it did good so I can totally see a new entry happening sooner than later.
This is insane. Are americans called racist or biased when good japanese games fail to sell in the US?
Nintendo's next FY predictions for the switch are very interesting. It implies a pretty large ramp up in terms of major AAA titles I think which it seen more likely Pokemon is actually coming and maybe Animal crossing as well.
Media Create 2.248.923
Much much better.
I mean regardless DW continuing to be as cross-over reliant as it is isn't an amazing place to be. It would depend on how much they actually give to Nintendo/IS but aside from that FEW is almost certainly the more profitable venture.
I will restore my post out of respect for Nibel's recommendations
TECMO KOEI
Next, we have Tecmo Koei Holdings. Compared to the same period last year, we have reduced revenue yet greatly increased profits: revenue is down 0.7% to 24 billion yen, while operating profit is up 62% to 5.6 billion
In the third quarter, since the company released "Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi" and "Atelier Lydie and Suelle" domestically, and released "Fire Emblem Warriors" overseas, it has achieved a vast increase in profits. While there this company has a habit of concentrating its profit generation towards the 4th quarter, we believe that the company already managed to have good year given the performance up to the third quarter.
Given that from an early stage the company has been enthusiastic supporter of the Nintendo Switch, it has not yet able to show satisfactory results. While the reasons for this are unclear at this current moment, we suspect it could be the influence of not going all out to bring all titles to the Nintendo Switch. We look forward to what support will become going forward.
TLDR:
This is from me
- The key point here is that despite the enthusiasm and statements of good performance on the NSW for KT, financially the results seems to have not yet materialized in Yasuda's view.
- KT is about 1/3 SE size in terms of profit and revenue.
- Also, when analysts say KT is "well run", the refer to its unusually high revenue to gross profit ratio. Look at the relative size of the red bars to the blue bars for the past 5 years, and compare it to the other companies
- However, KT can't relying on being well run forever given the waning strength of its IP
