Reports out of Japan show the new PS Vita bundled with Toukiden are selling out fast across Tokyo, with massive demand for both the game and the Vita bundle. The game is sold out on Amazon Japan, and neatly placed above current chart topper The Last of Us in the site's all-formats top 10.
While Vita sales have been ticking over the last few months since the price cut and a few decent releases, it has had few spectacular moments, and this could be the first one in 2013 to get the system moving.
After the good feelings that came with the remarkable Toukiden 2, the Omega Force team in charge of this series has shown interest in working on a new chapter of the franchise, although they have recalled that at the moment they are developing a project that will be surprising, without offering more details.
After the release of MH World, Omega Force has a lot to catch up. Toukiden 2 is pretty good but I just can't help but find the game just more or less the same. The open world feature needs a few more kinks and additions instead of just "collecting items" and "killing enemies". The combat also needs to be improved upon because while it is indeed fast, it can get pretty repetitive. I also wish that the story and characters will be better, because I found the characters in TK2 to be a bit less varied compared to TK1, and even then a lot of the characters were basically stereotypes.
Finished Monster Hunter World and still looking for more? Here are some games that will sate your hunting genre appetite.
Koei Tecmo confirmed today that the Toukiden series is going to be "expanded" in the future
The monsters/enemies just need to be a bit more active, they seem a bit static a lot of the times. Not saying they should move between zones if they don't already, but at least a bit more mobile, from what I played anyways.

Didn't Phantasy star online 2 and Soul sacrifice boost it ahead of the 3DS for like, one glorious week? Retailers were selling out
"Toukiden PS Vita bundle selling out around Japan"
so...what about the rest of the world?
Played the demo the other day and controls seem very tight! Graphics were pretty good too. It seems to have a hub similar to MH.
It will be interesting to See how it sells.
I think FFX has potential over here too. I'm just worried of the effects MH 3DS will have.
Sony better be planning something big!!!
Good news then. Should mean a big bump in sales in Japan.
About time those Japanese appreciate the PS Vita, we don't even get half the awesome games they are getting and I still appreciate mine.
