Robot Kit likely killed Labo off early. Will probably still end up selling 3M eventually and it should be pretty profitable, but that's unfortunate

Nintendo mentioned that Labo was supposed to be a driver to have the casual audience buy the switch. It's obviously not at this point and while it may not have lost them money they have been banking on the Labo to help them get to 20 million switches sold. So it has a more significance than your letting on.
I've been involved in Media Create threads since mid-2005 in some form or other.
Well if they hit 20 million through other means then I guess it's a wash. 20 million is a big number so that's a successful year overall for Nintendo if they get there.
Not all of Nintendo's ideas are going to stick, but they should keep trying and see what catches on anyway.
He was a staple of the mid to late 2000s Media-Create threads on NeoGAF. He had a pretty famous standard of 300k being a successful game and would often argue about what a bomb was or not. I literally just searched a random thread from there with his name and this came up:
https://www./threads/media-create-sales-7-30-8-5.178597/
There are many thing im not sure in life, but one that I am is that in no way they were putting hoppes on a Labo as a driver for the 20M shipping targets
You're not getting the mass casual audience at $300.
LABO might be worth another go in like 2 years

just change the name and hope no one noticed.
BOLA. a new idea that's new from nintendo.
Then, a lot of latin american kids will think it's something like football from Nintendo (soccer my ass) and will expect something like Super Mario Strikers.
After the lukewarm LABO performance I am even more down on games with external shit. It's why I think that Atlas game by Ubisoft is going to be a massive bomb.
They should have cancelled the PS4 and Xbox One versions and the toys
Just make Ubisoft X StarFox.
I think Ubisoft forgot the XBO/PS4/PC versions even exist to cancel them.
Nah... And honestly i don't even know if Mario Party will do a boost. Will probabily be a small one imo.
lol, no. Mega Man can't even boost himself. hence why it's taken so long to get a new game
Super Mario Party and Dark Souls Remastered should be the biggest Switch releases in October.
Not sure what to expect from the latter at this point.

For me, to consider if Labo is considered flop tenure or not is quite easy.
If in Holiday, there is no uptick of marketing push by Nintendo, it will means that Nintendo already check their marketing research and they dont deem the push will be worth the earnings at all.

Is there actually anything substantial?
The only buzz I see on Twitter is apparently something big got announced for Love Live series.
Nothing major for Switch yet sadly, and I'm not super confident on that changing. :(
In initial showing of the game, they had the physical toys since at the time there were skylanders etc.
But at at the E3 reveal with the Nintendo tie in, there was much more focus on this being playable as a Starfox game (that people actually wanted and Nintendo wasnt giving them)
What with the story cut scenes etc specific to the switch version, I think the game with basically be playable with digital. I want to buy the game just for the starfox type gameplay and story without purchasing any toys (or additional ones)
Disney released Infinity 1,2 and 3 as pure digital games for PC. You can play with the full set of figures all digital.
So I think now that TTL games no longer exist, ubisoft pivoted to make the game playable with much less focus on physical toys.
Nothing big now. Some niche titles were announced, including Onechanbara Origin, Root Letter sequel... Gematsu is covering them.
There's nothing major for any of the platforms, just updates on games we already know about.
D3 announced Onechanbara Origin for PS4, that's semi major I guess.
Level-5 booth at TGS. Yokai Watch logo is on the big screen on the right. I bet they are releasing the first trailer for YW4.
It seems that Gungho is pushing Ninjala hard.

I still dont even understand how that thing playsSpeaking of Ninjala, found out it is made un UE4.
Not really news, but
Yo-Kai Watch 4 first footage is someone recording off screen demo monitors
It's an action rpg now, big change from the barely gameplay original.
Have ranged and melee attacks and a devil trigger
Looks weird

It was playable at PAX, but no one thought to get footage. Or it was restricted? I dont know
Thanks, was curious about him. glad you both have years in this. MC in NDS era must have been fun.
Me neither.
Note: always prepare cute baes when marketing kids games

Haha, having show girls (and sometimes show guys, depending on the audience) at the booth is a tradition for TGS. One of the gaming magazines at my place always reserve a few pages for posting their photos.
I hope the game is good and finds success on Switch. Do you only play as the human characters?

Well, the manga sells above 200k in it's FW and generally reaches 300k which is really good and the anime is only behind Pokémon, Boruto and Gintama in revenue for TV Tokyo so I wouldn't say that.
It wasn't a second season, they renewed the series post 52 episodes.

In this case not really haha The count of episode will continue as it is the same season on the format of long-running.
