Seems like Level 5 is alot better when working with a publisher than when they're solo. The NNK games are so much better than anything else they make and the main difference seems to be that they were getting help from Bandai Namco?

I'm sure we have discussed it before(like every topic in these threads lol) but Bandai Namco was only involved in the production of NNK2, which wasn't as well received as the PS3 game.

Same happened with Vita-PS4. The portable version was cheaper.

PS4 audience is used to pay that kind of price and portable games are usually a bit cheaper.
The PS4 version also has VR support. As usual, 3rdPartys are gonna charge whatever they think they can get away with depending on the plattform.

I think it also is due to the fact that PS4 games are based on pricing around the .008 dollar to yen exchange rate in 2014, while Switch games are priced around the .009 dollar to yen exchange rate in 2017.

Multi PS4-Switch third party games are usually same price. Jikkyou seems more an exception. I can't think any other game with price difference at the moment.

There's price parity between PS4 and Switch multiplatform releases for 99% of them.

I see. And now that you mention it, i remember it was the same with the 2018 version as well (i didnt know about the 2016 version though). I thought maybe that due to the Vita game being more of a rooster update only (if i'm not mistaken). Or maybe its because Vita games were in general more cheaper than the PS4 version? Or was it usually price parity with PS4 and Vita multiplatform games as well?

Yeah, from previous generations, that true, and its also true that publishers take what the can, but many multiplatform games for PS4/Switch have had the same price, so it seems more unusual now :) The PS4 version having VR support could be somewhat of a justification though, since then one version has something extra over the other version.

I wonder what the Japanese share is. A big turnaround from Puzzle & Dragons Gold.

They said recently that Let it Die had 6m players/downloads in total so I think Ninjala is going to be quite a bit bigger.

They need more content though, especially more stages.

Yeah, other benchmarks for F2P Japanese games would be appreciated. I remember PSO2 Vita doing 1m after about a year and half, which was considered huge at the time.

Everything about it was budget. The production, promotion, distribution and price. An announcement Coro Coro and a YouTube video is all I remember seeing of it. I'm glad they made it and even localized it but clearly wasn't intended to be their killer app.

Powerful Pro Baseball and Sword Art Online look to have openings close to previous entries.

Sword Art Online first week sales are coming mostly from pre-orders, second week drop will be massive.

The Japanese market is in dire need of announcements for the end of the year.

Hoping that the potentially upcoming Direct and State of Play shed some light on it.

Hopefully the Direct does happen AND it includes third party stuff as well. But, even if it doesn't happen, I can see announcements happening in the next future. It's pretty clear how Japanese announcements slowed down at the peak of the SoE, and then things improved a few weeks after the SoE was lifted. See how we got several low / middle-level announcements + the two EDFs decently close to each other.

Seeing that AC figures, astounding numbers

Was Switch having stock issues or has that been resolved already (ie sales number reflects pure demand) ?

Wasn't there a state of emergency declared around July 4th in Japan due to Kyushu being heavily flooded? May have something to do with the lowish sales numbers.
