In Japan, the demand for console gaming has diminished over the years. While not completely dead -- with games and systems still being produced and sold in the East -- sales can pale in comparison to that of the handheld and mobile gaming market.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
An interview which I conducted with the Social Media Manager of Chibig (an indie games studio based in Valencia, Spain) about their 3D platformer in the mould of Mario 64.
My question is, why are pre-orders sold out, if they are that, pre-orders? The whole point of pre-orders is to measure demand, and have units ready for launch. If Nintendo is, again, trying to lie about supply to create artificial demand, they are making a huge mistake, specially coming from a failed Wii U. If they really only have 2 million units, that is also a big mistake, because they should have announced details of the Switch earlier, so that they had time to manufacture enough units to satisfy demand!
