Xbox One in Japan will Coordinate Your Clothes, Teach You Golf and Deliver Your Pizza

Microsoft Japan released a list of the Xbox One apps which will be available at the console’s launch on September 4th. Many of them are similar to the western versions of the console, but some are rather peculiar, and definitely very specific to the Japanese market.

But will it have games with enough appeal to the Japanese market to sell the consoles? Fingers crossed, Microsoft will invest a little in the Japanese market like they did with the 360. I'd love for a new Chromehounds for example, or maybe even a new Tenchu game seeing as the last one was a 360 exclusive.

That commercial they had last week or so showed they still don't get the market.

Why advertise a bunch of western games that don't appeal to Japanese gamers... in a Japanese commercial?

pompombrum3576d ago

What games did they showcase? Tried youtubing the commercial but no success. Being honest though, other than Sunset Overdrive, I can't think of many games that would appeal to the Japanese.

From my understanding forza 5 and forza horizon should also do well over there because they love racing games

If Tenchu goes Xbone exclusive I riot.

MysticStrummer3576d ago

I'd love to see an updated Tenchu but I can't say I'd feel a thing if it went to XB1 exclusively.

Epicjo33576d ago

Xbox one is gonna do amazing in japan, Microsoft won't let it's japan market down!

MysticStrummer3576d ago

We'll see, but Japan seems to be moving away from consoles and more toward mobile gaming. This has been the case since before the newer consoles were ever released or even revealed. XB1 could sell better there than every other console and still not sell a whole lot.

How will Xbox deliver a pizza to you? I thought that's what delivery guys are for.

Rainbow Cotton Interview: Lead Programmer Sheds Light on the Dreamcast Remake

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "If you haven't played Rainbow Cotton before, you're not alone. A Dreamcast exclusive released only in Japan, it's not exactly a household name. Looking to change that, and bring the sixth-gen game back into the spotlight, is German studio KRITZELKRATZ 3000, which — with the backing of publisher ININ and original developer SUCCESS — has remade the 3D shoot-'em-up from the ground up. Featuring several modern quality-of-life upgrades, plus HD graphics and a brand new local co-op mode, it promises to merge the past and present when it launches digitally on consoles and PC on May 9.

Ahead of the game's release, I chatted with Andreas Scholl, technical director at KRITZELKRATZ 3000 and lead programmer for Rainbow Cotton, about what fans can expect from the remake."
