We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It was supposed to come to the Switch. It was part of the January 2017 slide with Japanese third-party games. Unfortunately, nothing ever came out of it. Who knows, maybe it's a SMTV situation, but everyone seems to have forgotten about it.
Yeah, Momotaro Dentetsu falls into the family-friendly category like Mario Party. Fun for the entire family and older gamers too. That's why it will be big during holidays.
Updates are coming very soon for many things. We won't need to wait much longer.
Kids also don't pay for a game 3-4 months before released either.
Abandoning the franchise was always seen as a stupid move given how well it had always sold and the fact that it's a pretty modest game budget-wise.
I just saw so much potential in the idea. It had the exercises of WiiFit but in a much more compelling package. The big drawback of WiiFit is it got boring and people abandoned it. Thus ending word of mouth. (I myself did it everyday for 2 months and then never came back to it). I figured since Ring Fit Adventure looked appealing and had and actual goal beyond "git fit" people would be talking about it for a long time (and it made me preorder it). I also thought that since part of the game is a cloth strap that gets sweaty, few people would want to buy it used, keeping new copies selling.

Nobody truly does capture the female audience like Nintendo does.
And I don't just mean some Barbie game that only appeals to a certain sect of female gamers
This legit can be the next big thing if they play their cards right
Those kids will play Momotaro and they will LIKE IT or NO DINNER.
Yeah for a series that never declined, they almost killed that franchise.

Last 2 entries of Momotaro on PSP and DS at 2010 saw big declines at sales, 2012 game on Wii was canceled because of earthquake and tsunami in 2011 and the creator of series left the company. If budget reprint of Momotaro Dentetsu 2010 didn't show legs on Wii it's doubtful Nintendo would invest on 2017 3DS release and it would be entirely dead today.
I'm here every week. I just don't have that much to say. Not going to wade into the Monster Hunter on Switch arguments. I will however occasionally make a snarky comment about NSO killing all the evergreens.
I'd love to. I stopped because there wasn't really anything to report. But now with the Switch and Ring Fit shortages and the beginning of a new Sony generation, it might make for some fun anecdotal info. Interest wise, It would be a great time to start again.
Unfortunately with the global pandemic and rising cases in Japan I think it would be irresponsible for me as a parent to hit 8 game store a week to check on hardware/software stocks.
If things ever settle down, I hope to do it again.
Yes of course, this makes total sense. Better to be safe and do the right thing.
It would also be one of the rare franchise that became million-seller in the past decade from a JP 3rd party publisher.
I remember when Konami announced Super Bomberman R, there were a lot of "wow Konami gets it" statements in regard to their Switch support compared to other JP publishers who were playing the wait and see game, because people were expecting decent support (yeah, I know). Would be kinda funny if those statements still ended up true, but 3 years later :P
Regarding Momotaro, the opening of digital pre-orders will be quite telling re: road 1m. If digital sales are as strong as they have been for Jikkyou, it will bode really well.
Konami should get that TV show that boosted sales of the Wii game a few years ago to play the new one, get some extra exposure.

Isn't that what Capcom did with Monster Hunter 4?:P
Weird metric but when is the last time a long running series has grown like that? Must be PS1 days?
Monster Hunter was still new when it took off on PSP.
Calling Tbone5189
It's so fun to have endlessly looping discussions though :P
Stay safe above all else!!
What's more outlandish, Momo hitting 1 million or my prediction of Brain Training not only beating its 3DS predecessor, but going on to sell at least 750k?

I have the book now in my hands.
Will take a while to work through all of it.
The bad news I have noticed so far:
Capcom has not updated anything, so no Monster Hunter World or other stuff.
FFXV got taken out of the ranking for whatever reason.
For the Vita is life crowd:
Atlus gave an official number for Persona 4 Golden - It shipped 1.5M worldwide

On just the Vita? Or does this include 500k+ PC sales? What's as-of date are we talking about?
2nd confirmed global million seller for Vita then! Maybe Uncharted GA did too?
Thank you good sir, MH discussions will now be delayed into W33 threads ;P
Gamestat has Persona 4 on Vita at 1.5 mil :P
Also fun going back to 500k pc sales thread where some were adamant persona 4 didnt pass 1 mil

If Chris is saying S-E dropped out in 2017, what makes you say S-E is still in the mix? Are there some juicy number updates from it?
