Toukiden: The Age of Demons was definitely a nice surprise for many PS Vita owners, and looks like it’s going to continue in some way, as mentioned by Producer Takashi Morinaka.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "A recent piece of news doing the rounds revealed the PlayStation Vita’s top 10 selling games in the United States of America, and it makes for some grim reading. While Uncharted: Golden Abyss rightfully tops the list, it only managed to shift a little more than 400k copies in the States, which is low by the series’ standards and paints a dire picture overall given that it's above all other AAA titles on the list, including Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, and Ki llzone Mercenary (although it’s worth noting that this top 10 doesn’t include any bundled software, otherwise Borderlands 2 would be at the top and Call of Duty at #2)."
I would think Uncharted Abyss and Killzone Mercenaries should be included in the list.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.
It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."
Koei Tecmo has been very active in 2016, and it appears that they have some quite beefy plans for 2017 as well, as mentioned by some of the publisher's Producers on 4Gamer's traditional year end mass interview.
They already confirmed games coming to Switch and support so that a given.
I'm not familiar with the studio but they won me over with nioh. I watched the Japanese gameplay demos with no subtitles and they seem like decent, talented people from what I can tell. I will keep an eye on their games from now on.
Not familiar, they been around for decades brah. Everyone gamer should know who they are and main games.
I have heard the name and I knew they did dynasty warriors. I don't play those games so I never really followed them. I'm not familiar.
Edit: after looking at the games the only ones I played are the ninja garden games lol. I didn't even realize that was from them.
Koei and tecmo were different companies until they merged. Tecmo(Team ninja)was the ones that did ninja gaiden series. Koei (Omega)was the ones doing nioh back then but when the companies merged they let the tecmo (team ninja) do the game since they had better experience around that I believe.
Koei Tecmo ready to release more DLC machines? What..... great news...... ya............
Toukiden: Kiwami being localized is probably the reveal.
Might be a Toukiden 2 for vita or ps4 version of Toukiden. I think heard something about the creator saying he wants to expand the series to consoles to.
My guess is some kind of Toukiden game for the PS4.
I loved it on the PSvita. If it comes to the PS4 ...... I will enjoy it!!
