With Monster Hunter 4 breaking sales records this week, moving so much Nintendo 3DS handhelds in Japan, expect the game to be on top at least for this month.
Until the next generation of Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Y, releases next month.
With these two games, the 3DS is sure to rule the charts. And with the PS4 and Xbox One beyond the horizon, Nintendo remains king in Japan.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
