The whole season pass is included in this release. It is interesting for people that didn't buy it yet, for people that didn't buy XC2 and for collectors.

Got it ;)

Word of mouth for Octo Expansion will be huge I think based on what I'm playing right now. I wonder if it will have any impact on Splatoon 2 sales. I doubt a DLC can move hardware tho.
ok, they'd still have to buy XB2 to access the other contents of the DLC though is what I understand. like challenge battle.
yeah since it's standalone, it'll probably do decently retail.
Nope, I have not paid attention to the naming in English, never played them in English. I was just surprised and confused because people all of a sudden started talking about Three Houses and I had thought there was a game that I had missed in the Direct. I just looked at the names now that you brought it to my attention, and you are right, it seems like they have never bothered with translating them close to the original name.
Alot of people really loved that about the game tho

Sorry to go PAL offtrack, but about Nintendo expectation about Labo, it looks like in France, they expect to sell 20% of this year sales for the games until September, I think it might be the same globally. (there are other informations for France, like console sales expectations or DKTC sales)

Well, that is a hope for them.
I don't see or hear any interest in Labo, but we will have to see.
If the game is nowhere to be found on the charts during the Holidays though, I hope that the Labo defenders don't move goalposts.
Edit: oops, slightly misread.
But yeah, as everyone was saying, Nintendo isn't expecting it to sell during the non-holiday period.
2019 should be pretty crazy on Switch:
- Animal Crossing
- mainline Pokémon game
- Metroid Prime 4
- Fire Emblem
- a Mario game is a given: either NSMB collection or a new Mario Maker
- Yoshi
- Retro Studios game
- Monolith Soft action game
DKC is close to 100k as they worded (100k two months after release).
No, 20% of Labo's sales this year are expected to occur between its launch and September. The remaining 80% during October-December.
Doesn't speak of Nintendo's overall software sales.
wow, nice.
...man, i'm not even doing the year thing anymore.
cause we all did it last year a bunch, listing Yoshi, FE, and throwing in Animal crossing, "Retro surely by 2018 right guys", LM3, 2D Mario, Real pokemon, (at least smash came), Plus XX unannounced games.
kinda over it. I just wait for each individual direct.
from your list, I'd take off Monoliftsoft for sure,
and Retro until they show something.
Metroid, who knows if it's 2019
2D mario sounds likely, but again it always does so who knows.
Animal Crossing who knows.

No, they expect to sell 20% of their Labo sales until September (for exemple they expect to sell 20k Labo until September versus 80k during holiday)
oh. Thanks.
Seems like too much imo. Unless France is a special case.
using WW ratios, I expect Labo to be at or above 1 million by the end of Sept.
so it'd be like selling 4m from Oct to Dec.
again, that's WW ratios, but that sounds crazy when put like that. That'd be coming back from the dead to chart-topping numbers
Do we know what France's initial shipment was?
Anyone else interested in what Ghost of Tshushima will sell in Japan? I don't know if its ceiling is 100k or 300k.
Well, Lavoué does say that Labo is a toy and should have a toy-like sales pattern, so we'd need a toy sales expert in here to determine whether that's a feasible thing expect.
Strong first party efforts are always expected. If we can add a couple of important and popular 3rdParty titles to that list....then we can enter "pretty crazy" territory.
thanks.
if it does happen, will make for some interesting sales threads.
the issue of course being it's a toy tied to a 300 console. Which of course decreases the potential audience from anyone to people with a switch.
Perhaps if they give Labo a big push and introduce new models they can do that. Or just bundle it with Switches :p
Labo has been out for 2 months now, usually it doesn't take a retailer that long to drop the price of something they think is not meeting demand. I think retailers have a good idea of how it is selling and believe it will sell through without and drastic measures.
Considering the usual sales in Japan for these type of games, I expect lifetime sales around 150k.
Someone already answered, but the breakdown is:
- Expansion Pass: includes all the DLC, including the story DLC. Digital-only
- Torna ~The Golden Country stand-alone: just the story DLC on cart, fully stand-alone game. Includes a DL code to unlock the Expansion Pass in the full version of the game.
Basically the stand-alone release is more aimed at fans who want the game and the story DLC on physical format, rather than newcomers (though I guess that's just my opinion here). I bet they're expecting a fair numbers of double-dippers, too.
Yep; that's the first statement on that.
Fans here pointed it out but I think many didn't want to hear it.
So it might be above expectations in Japan? Maybe
So Persona Dancing triple pack shipment according to Famitsu is somewhere between 32-33k so they still have 5-6k to clear.
What's funny is that Dengeki only have P5D PS4 SKU charting at 45 with PS4 triple pack sales this week being lower than <877, most likely correction between the trackers, considering the very soft drop in Famitsu it's probably them that underestimated the sales in the end.
On a side note the triple pack price keep dropping on Amazon, now closing dangerously below the 10k milestone at 10800y, original price was around 17k yen.
P5D PS4 SKU is already half price as well below 4k
The PSV SKU lost value but not so much
So the "interesting charting" titles

It probably can. Granblue is an IP with devoted fans, most of which are also in the PS4's target audience (20-45 y/o males). There's likely an overlap.
Yep, that's exactly what I think. So far the game looks good, but I wouldn't mind to see more gameplay.
You would be surprised by the amount of female fans the IP has, every time they opened a store selling exclusive merchandising these past few months the vast majority of customers were 20-30y old girls. The fujoshi audience is really really strong there.
True ! There's a great selection of characters available for the community.
Bayonetta 3
Next Level game
SMT V
Nintendo is good for next year.
2018, though...
SMTV is probably next year. It has a bigger chance making 2019 than vaporware such as MP4 or Retro Studio game anyway. Bayonetta 3 too, Platinum has always been pretty efficient.
OP
OP
Dengeki sees Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Kingdom Hearts III as E3 big announcements for Japan, not very high expectasions for Resident Evil 2 then.
___
Nintendo completely ignored 3DS at E3. Things won't be very rosy for the remaining releases but there aren't many things that can be done since Switch up ports for Luigi's Mansion and Mario & Luigi with the current engines are out of the question.

I dunno..there are literally 4 retail games dated in Japan at the moment. Seems pretty dead to me.
We got predictions for Mario Tennis Aces and Minecraft? We getting two 100k+ openings hopefully right?
We see nothing but a logo. We don't even know who is developing it. Who is the director? Where is the team? I'd call it vaporware until we know at least the minimum amount of info.
I think new Monolith game will make 2019 though. They make game quick and we know a lot of people didn't work on XB2.
Eh, vaporware needs to be absent for more than one year. Right now MP4 is just a game announced too early.
We have different definition of vaporware then. By tomorrow MP4 will be absent for more than one year though.
