Honestly, how the fuck did this become a thing?
It's like if Nintendo went to bankruptcy and took a shit on the Pokemon Franchise, took another shit on
>Hurr Hue Japanese culture
and decided to make 200 designs that would make /vp/ wonder why Genwunners were right.

The anime made it big, just like Pokémon. Also the dance thing.

I heard the last game bombed and the franchise is not doing that much in Japan. And here the game didn't sold that well.

Tried the demo just to see what it was like

1. it wasn't made by Nintendo

2. Even if the gameplay is for 5 year olds, the presentation of the actual game world blow the fuck out of XY and ORAS.

3. Why are you so fucking butthurt? Jesus christ.

Not op but Yokai Watch suffers the same shit a Level 5 produced RPG game always does.

>good technical visuals
>good production value
>media backs it up as a "x" (remember when dark cloud was supposed to be a zelda killer?) series killer
>once it comes out the game is only decent
>it's concepts are not executed well
>story gradually becomes sub-par
>gameplay is just okay
>fails to live up to media hype

This is why I couldn't get excited for Ni no kuni 1 or 2, Level 5 just drops the ball in some manner.

Are you really so autistic that someone liking something you don't genuinely makes you this mad?

Like, can you be any more pathetic? May aswell off yourself at this point.

Go play Pokemon or some other game you like instead of crying over games you don't like.

Do you think the average poster here is old enough to remember Dark Cloud? I certainly don't. Have you actually played it? Was it an actually decent early PS2 game or was it trash?

It ain't doing good right now.

But the anime is coming to the regular Disney Channel on the 18th, so maybe it will pick up after that. Even in Japan, the game wasn't too hot until the show became popular.

It's flopped thus far.

>Week one: 21,507
>Week two: 6,999
>Week three: 5,171

So 30,000-something in the U.S. thus far. It's getting demolished by Super Mystery Dungeon, which sells poorly compared to mainline Pokémon games.

oh my god, this.
Seriously, why the hell do people think Level-5 is out to kill?
I mean, when LBX was announced, it was said to also kill pokemon. A robot game revolving around kids wielding robots that isn't a turn-based RPG and completely unrelated to pokemon, was called a pokemon killer.
Seriously?
And now Ni no kuni 2 is getting the pokemon killer treatment too.

That game has been out since July, and has already been surpassed by Monster Hunter X in Japan, which was only released on November 28. For something everyone keeps saying is so blisteringly "hot" in Japan, that's kind of sad.

So it's kinda sad that a full flagged entry in a really popular and old franchise has sold as much as a spinoff of a series which is not even 5 years old?
Also people who shit on YW tend to speak with having played the game, which has almost nothing to do with pokemon and it's actually quite funny and imaginative.

Monster Hunter is literally the most popular game series in Japan, though. I don't think that's really indicative of YW's popularity.

Okay, so I hesitate to post this here, as I'm sure this thread is heading towards deletion, but I don't want to visit /v/...

About three or four days ago, the Yo-kai Watch game demo appeared on my 3DS. I never downloaded it or anything, it was just suddenly there. Furthermore, when I went to Settings and software to delete it, it wasn't showing up, yet other demos I actually did download (Tri Force Heroes) were able to be deleted.

I'm seriously baffled as to from where the fuck it came, and why it won't let me get rid of it. I don't see anyone else complaining about this through a quick Internet search, so I guess it's somehow just me?

NPD sales came in. Since the month of release it sold 71k.
So...average. It's roughly the same amount that Fantasy Life sold after a month.

A good part of level-5 games are fun, but they all share the same trait: underappreciation.
It's a wonder how and why they continue to release their games for the west, knowing that sales are dropping in general for their products here.

Considering >>24827211 said NPD Group has it at 71,000 for its first month, VGChartz seems to have been pretty accurate, as they have it at 40-something thousand without that extra week included and no eShop sells.

Hell, VGChartz almost seems to have overshot the game's U.S. sales.

looking at the thread it originated from, the 71k are from physical sales exclusively as well. Apparently eshop sales/bundle sales are in their own category, but I've yet to figure out how that works.

Not sure where they even got that number, but even though it doesn't seem big to most, it obviously sold enough for the sequel to be localized seeing as L5 is already looking to bring it over. Really all that matters in the long run since it's infinitely better than the first.

I bought it because I like monster collecting games and feel fucking starved at the moment. Honestly really enjoying it, I think the flak the game gets is unfair. Some of the designs are definitely shitty, but there are more than enough good ones too, and the 'it plays itself, mobile game trash' thing is overblown to fuck. Especially the post game, which is fucking brutal.

Only thing I don't like about it is the RNG and the hoops you have to jump through to recruit the yokai, which is fucking bullshit at best. Makes catching legendary pokemon seem easy.
