GE: "Famitsu published a listing of the top 100 best-selling games in Japan of 2012. Enterbrain compiled the data based on sales between December 26, 2011 and December 30, 2012."
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I guess Japan didn't like Gravity Rush. It's a great game that i thought would be welcomed by Japanese gamers. It seems right up their alley.
One word
Nintendo rules lol
Now let's see more nintedo is doomed articles.
Even in the 30's range that's impressive for Japan.
"Keep in mind that games bought directly on digital platforms are not included, nor are download cards purchased at retail."
When will we get the results for Digital Downloads.
I wonder if this is skewing some of the WiiU US software numbers?
Most commenters seem to be missing the big problem with the 3DS. Its sold gazillions, yet most 3DS games in the list have only sold 200-300K.
That leaves developers with no massive advantage in coding for 3DS over the Vita, if they have a decent brand behind the game. There's less competition on the Vita side, so we may see more games cross-developed this year, and if the 15 PSP games in the list update to a Vita version (some have already), they get extra sales for only a bit more effort.
Not cast-iron in any sense, but I would have thought most popular 3DS games would be in the million plus range.
