Looks like Zero's Escape: Virtue's Last Reward will be the game that finally sells me a 3DS. I grew really attached to 999 by the end and would quite enjoy some more. Now if only the darned thing wasn't region locked.
 Pity, too. I tend to buy both Japanese and American DS games, but I certainly don't feel like buying two different 3DSes just for that.

No MEI was released winter of 2010 and that wasn't a real PW game really since it was missing the court sequences and the cases were fairly easy in compression to other titles in the series. the last real PW game was appolo justice and that was winter of 2008. we are finally getting a new one in PW5 but lets be honest that is still a year or two out. so it might be 6 years between real PW games. |

I'm actually getting this one for the Vita instead... Gotta blow dust off of the thing sometime! (that said, I like the hardware a lot, but I have been seriously thirsty for content on the thing... I think it should be good in the next two months though, but it took a while) That said, yes, New Little King's story is out and I'd like to think that I'm reasonably informed with regards to upcoming game releases and will just have to assume that Konami did a very terrible job marketing the thing (the digital-only thing is probably what really did it). |

BoF4 was fine. It was DQ that really sunk the series with its ridiculous setup. It was their own fault for designing such a dismal and uninteresting game that ruined BoF. No, I'm not a hater, it's just the only BoF I couldn't stand. |

Saying Inafune helped create Mega Man is kind of a misnomer. He can't even be credited as a co-creator as the only thing he did in the original game was artwork and he was brought on after most of the work had already been done. Saying he created Mega Man is like saying Yoshitaka Amano created Final Fantasy. |

Regarding BOF, companies came to Capcom and said if you think the game series is dead, then we will develop it costs and all. Capcom was basically going to make money with no work because someone else would take the risk. And they said no. And I am pretty sure it was a well respected rpg maker as well. If capcom thought it was dead , so what, others were willing to take the risk. Do you even read reviews plus peoples opinions. RE 5 is generally viewed negatively but still acceptable. ORC and RE 6 have been ripped left and right by both critics and gamers. Lost planet 2 almost killed the franchise due to dismal sales, and once again poor reviews across the board. And with DMC, people actually liked 3 and 4, there was no need to westernize it, but oh no says capcom. I am not going to take a survey of every single person that has played these games when evidence more than backs up my claims. Yes some people like them, hell I am sure somebody liked Et for the atari, doesnt mean if a minority likes a game its got any merit. Regarding wright, I like the game but not as much as my die hard buddy. But like someone else said, the last full game was apollo way back when. Ill admit yes there are some business decisions in play with releasing a game like ex troopers; but still games of that nature have been successful in the US and ultimately its up to capcom to release if they want, which they dont. So I am free to criticize them just like others criticized nintendo over LS, PT, and Xenoblade. |

That's a pretty common business practice. Companies don't want to sell or license out their franchises so other people can make money of them. Companies have been burned on this before.
Reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, and I couldn't care less what 'general opinion' says, because general opinion is so easy to spin and manipulate in your favor. For example, RE6 sold almost 5 million copies already, so obviously people enjoy playing it, while the haters spend their time bashing it on message boards.
The Kenji games still count, to say they don't makes no sense; especially with how loved they were in Japan.
You can criticize them if you want, but it has no effect on them as a company or the state of the market. All that matters is the Japanese market and if the game was made in the first place. The west is always getting screwed out of Japanese games, it's been that way since the NES days. I'm a Tales fan and we miss out on so many titles, but I'm not criticizing Namco because I know they sell like crap here and there's little to no market for them. Just import them if you want to play them, or emulate them. I just know as a Rockman fan I'm satisfied and happy. I got a bunch of good games, not to mention like 8 great anime series to watch. Capcom's one of the better companies about anime adaptions of video games, most don't even bother. They really push them for franchises, like giving a Viewtiful Joe a 52 episode anime and 4 games despite the series selling like crap. They pushed that franchise hard, but gamers just didn't like it. Shame. And it's sad when I see people saying Capcom 'abandoned' that franchise despite all the pushing they gave it and practically bending over backwards for it. Fans can be really bitter sometimes I find. |

BoF4 was bland and forgettable. Its probably why they felt the need to change so much up with Dragon Quarter. While 4 might not have sucked, I do think it set the stage for the suck that was Dragon Quarter. |

Todd, why is it that every article I read of you has to mock the fans of the so-called "otaku-targeted" games? It's getting really ridiculous, to be honest. If you don't like those games fine, it's your tastes after all. But that doesn't give you the right of mock and ridicule the people you pejoratively call "otaku" just because they have different tastes than yours. |

It often makes me wonder why he's working on an anime site if he finds stuff thats standard fare in anime "Creepy". Thats supposed to be the job of mainstream reviewers who are foreign to anime culture. |
