What is sales success to you for a modern game?

Can the same standard be applied across the board?

it's not really up to me to decide what is a sales success and what is not, I'll leave it to the publishers.

Either way I love the Luigi Mansion series. Love the gameplay.

I hope they remake/remaster 1 and 2 for Switch/Switch 2 etc

If I owned a videogame publisher, success for me would be ROI (return on investment), meaning that a game made for 20 million who go on to generate 60 million has better return on investment than a game made for 100 million who then goes on to generate 120 million sales.

Big games don't necessarily have great ROI, that's why I think publishers and platform holders should look at all types of games (big, medium, small).

Also, games that have an infinite replayability have a potential to have huge ROI (GaaS type games, multiplayer driven games, etc.)

Looks pretty good for a Musou game. Sitting at 80 on metacritic

I love Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem 3 Houses was my game of the year along with Sekiro and Death Stranding. So I‘m actually gonna pick this up after I finish Triangle Strategy.
Nintendo has done a good job of branching out into Musou games

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be the first open-world RPG Pokemon games and is an exciting development in the series.
It feels like there is a great deal of anticipation around this particular release and apparently the entire game can be played in coop mode!


Second trailer;

Are you excited for the new games in the series?

Are you a new fan or possibly a lapsed Pokemon player?

The last pokemon game I played was Shining Pearl. I just can't get into the modern 3D aesthetics, and would love they bring back the magic camera perspective of old.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo.
Set after the events of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 takes place in the world of Aionios, where the mechanically proficient nation of Keves and the ether-oriented nation of Agnus are at constant war with one another. The wars are fought by engineered soldiers with limited lifespans of ten years, all ten of which are spent on fighting. The game will feature two protagonists and 4 other main characters: Noah, an off-seer from Keves accompanied by his childhood friends Lanz and Eunie; and Mio, an off-seer from Agnus accompanied by comrades Taion and Sena.

The game is scheduled for release on July 29, 2022 for Nintendo Switch.

I totally forgot its coming out this year.

People can’t complain about this year not being stacked. Nintendo and Playstation are giving me alot. Especially if God of War R comes out this year

I think this series has passed me, heard the first 2 games are really long so don’t think I wanna get into it. Someone’s got to convince, I might get the first on sale and see

Its also got some of the worst voice acting Ive heard in a long time lol

Is this more like final fantasy as in each game is a separate entity? Or do I need to play them in order to 'get' them? Equally have never played the series.

Can anybody give me feedback on this? I've been thinking about getting it when it comes out but I've never played Splatoon.
