Monolith's worked on the last couple Zeldas (SS, BOTW) plus they had recruitment ads that implied working on BOTW2.
YW4 localization was confirmed awhile ago, we just don't know when. I'd assume it's the ++ release.

- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
To add to that, on Amazon France it's #14 for the year and #3 for the month. Fnac (the other big online shop with big retail presence) list it as out of stock online and in store (the one close to my home at least). It's performing strong it seems.
PREDICTION LEAGUE DECEMBER 2019
Predict how much these titles will sell in the month (from Nov 25 to Dec 29):
[NSW] Nintendo Switch Hardware (35 days) - 1 500 000
[NSW] Pokémon Sword / Shield [second month] (35 days) - 863 570
[NSW] Ring Fit Adventure [third month] (35 days) - 319 788

yes, they have a hiring ad, but it's not like they're leading, they're doing the same work they've always done. MS is just now making a dedicated group so it doesn't take the whole studio anymore
It works really well as a product. As soon as someone tries it, they "get" it.
It's honestly the Holy Grail of fitness gamification. The only thing it could do better is be supported long term with DLC and daily challenges, otherwise it's essentially perfect.
Celine is in the "10m for Ring Fit" camp, is what that comment meant, as a reference to what Chris said about such expectations.
Is it out of touch to think Ring fit could follow a similar sales curve to Wii Fit? I dunno. Will probably be a big seller in the new year.
Oh, whoops, I didn't make that connection.
Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing their Q3 numbers for it.
Level5 is simply biding time until Megaton Musashi takes the world by storm!
My question is more of asking how well it sells in Japan such that it gives confidence to the publisher for localizing.
Bamco will probably do the physical publishing, the PS4 version adds appeal for publishers.
OP
OP
This will be the order
Mario & Sonic
Fishing Spirits
Super Mario Party
Disney Tsum Tsum
Without big releases in holidays, sales of older games will benefit a lot. Super Mario Party sales depend heavily on how many Joy-Con bundles Nintendo will ship.
when megaton mushashi sells less than 50K in its first week:Level- will make a huge comeback next year with Fantasy Life .
Are there any big new December releases or is it just holiday sales month?

In unrelated Bamco speculation: Per Doctre81 Ridge Racer 8 for Switch was cancelled.
Well YW did well in some places like Spain and Italy, where PS4 is strong so the assumption is probably that the PS4 SKU would do add significant numbers there. Plus we're most talking about them partnering with the company that just put out the NNK remaster...

there's brain age for switch, but i'm not sure how big that'll be.
Oh, right. I was happy about that. Finally it's not stuck on the PS3, but it surely bombed / underperformed everywhere, like any other Level 5 game since...Yokai Watch 3?
Should be a fun one to watch anyway since it seems like they're gauging interest in those types of games with it.
Yup, I'm not sure how much the NNK Remaster was from Bamco though. The developers contracted were both studios Bandai Namco has worked with.
NNK was one of the few games still trapped on PS3, now we just need Nier remastered and we can MGS3salute.gif our PS3s.

This is one the weakest Decembers ever for new releases. Biggest one is supposed to be Shin Sakura Taisen, a title that might sell less than 200k.
Isn't Brain Age bigger than that? I know it won't sell like Brain Age 1 or 2 or Academy on NDS, but 200k LTD surely isn't out of reach? Or are we talking FW sales?

"The Taiwan's list has one new release. The first spot was won by Pokemon Sword / Shield. Shenmue 3 is the new release and got the second place. The third and fourth game are well-known faces, the stablished Mario Kart 8 DX, and Mario & Sonic Tokyo 2020 that was released recently. Ring Fit Adventure came back to the top because the third batch of stock finally arrived. But the next wave of stock is said to have to wait until the end of the year or even early next year.
There are no new games in the Korean list this week. The top 5 are still won by Nintendo Switch games with small changes. Pokemon is 1st for second consecutive weeks, and Ring Fit Adventure and Luigi's Mansion 3 are 2nd and 3rd for three consecutive weeks. Zelda Breath of the Wild that was launched more than one year and a half ago has beaten Link's Awaking staying longer in the Top 5, ranking 4th this week. Lastly, Mario Kart 8 is magically back on the list."

It also doesnt release until the last week of the year so even if it does end up being a big hit most of the sales will come next year.
I think maybe in Europe (IE Ares as well) but in America Level 5 Abby will probably handle it themselves like Katrielle DX and Snack World Gold.
Go down to a local Wal-Mart outside of a city in the US and one will find plenty of copies on shelves.
Ah ah yeah I thought it was easy to catch.
Mine, of course, is just a gut feeling based on my belief that RFA is a sound product that is a good fit for Switch target audience and that has a good synergy with an upcoming mega hit like Animal Crossing (the expansion of the female audience on NSW will benefit RFA sales).
At the same time I don't think that Labo and Brain Training fit well with the audience Nintendo targeted from the beginning for NSW.
So after this horrible 4th quarter for PS4 what is the LTD projected to be?
Is there enough old time FFVII fans holding out to give it respectable numbers next quarter. Or maybe a bunch of young ones curious about what all the hubbub is about.
Either way Sony needs to do something drastic or this will be the year some Japanese grade-schooler asks "Whats a PlayStation?"

I used to think the PS4 was a lock for 11 million LTD, but now I'm very skeptical it will beat the PS3. FF won't change the baseline and the PS5 being next year means this is the last holiday season where the PS4 is Sony's current console.
Imo PS4 will end a bit under 10 million.

Japan is C tier for Sony now.
Europe and NA is where they want to focus and even if they keep MH, DQ and FF going forward, is going to be really hard to sell PS5 when NSW is hot and the launch price is going to be higher than PS4.
Pretty sure all major publishers are ready to support PS5 and not NSW for their AAA games.

Looks like 13 Sentinels is getting some strong feedback on Amazon and the people who played it are loving it. Glad to see that Vanillaware was able to get it released after it was almost cancelled.
Japan has been C tier for Sony for many years now. Only ~8% of its total hardware sales are in Japan.

I checked Bandai Namco's upcoming multiplatform releases from 2020 and later looking at their mysterious Switch support.

The big misses, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Tales of Arise, Elden Ring come from development teams that have distant relations with Nintendo. Except outsourced projects, internal teams are also absent when it comes to BN published games.
That gives better chances for a Switch version of a potential Dragon Ball FighterZ2 since Arc System Works is big Switch supporter but also indicates things won't change easily in the future if there isn't change at politics.

Xenoverse 3 seems likely for Switch too looking at Dimps' recent output and how well the late port of Xenoverse 2 sold on Switch.
If the price doesn't change nothing will happen to the baseline. Xbox selling for €99 in places. No excuse for the PS4 not be €200 always and €150 next year on promotions.
The only thing I can think of is Sony are selling all they can produce WW so are happy to let Japan suffer.
Completely forgot about that one, a Saturn IP revival on an end of life PS4... I wouldn't think that would get a big turnout either.
