👑 here king, you dropped this.
Anyone who was concerned that Dragon Quest 12 might've gotten canceled doesn't understand how big Dragon Quest is in Japan
Literally has a Disney style Dragon Quest village there
DQ will surely outlive square enix and a full square enix collapse of business
69% of DQ11 sales came from Switch. It's far more likely than Hori's team had to stall development until they got Switch 2 specs, just to make sure they didn't aim so high that porting would became problematic.
Dragon Quest runs in Japan mostly better then Super Mario 😮😅Here in the West Dragon Quest is nothing..even on the Switch or PS ..PC or X Box where the Game nearly nobody played or famed in Game Pass😮 Same will happen to FF Games...every body who liked FF16 and Rebirth buyed it
.the Rest was like Final Fantasy 16 Remake and Ribirth is no real FinalFantasy and Trahed it 😂
I worry about their strategy of westernizing it’s IPs and the install base of PS5 in Japan… they should focus on launching with the new Nintendo hardware which of course will dominate Japan
Sick of hearing terms like “sustainable growth”. Hate the corpos
But you want to use the products they produce.
It’s sustainable if the CEO’s keep their greed in check.
@@justwait9822 corpos dont produce them, the workers do
@@jackoski__19 the workers the corpos hire. Do you think these workers would just come together and get funding and marketing without the corporation? And if they did, they'd have to put someone in charge to manage everything, source funding, make a marketing depth, a hr dept....and you know, become a corporation.
@@justwait9822 have you ever heard of a workers co-op?
Square Enix: "Sales didn't meet expectations"
Pretty much everyone: "What else is new?"
This time it's actually really serious though. The division behind FFXVI and FFVIIR2 reported an 8.1 billion yen loss. More then their loss last year. The series is losing money
@@Ash_Yuyeah people hand wave Squire saying something didn’t meet sales expectations as them just having too high of expectations, but if they aren’t making healthy profits its a genuine problem.
Maybe don't hold a game down to one platform???? Look at budget and look at the sales 🤦🏽♂️
That "sales expectation" did Chrono Trigger dirty on the DS. It sold just fine.
@@mrbisshieyea it does..... on ebay
"infinite growth" is not sustainable, it never was and it has never been. These videogame companies don't want to learn this simple lesson, even if it is the hard way. They could fire all the employees they want, that's not gonna save them from a dire financial situation they're not in. If anything, that will hurt them in the long run.
It's not that "they don't want to learn.." once you're a public traded company you have investors to pay, and as this specific event tells if you don't make them happy they sell the stock, tank it and burn all the resources you need to operate as a business.
The real solution would be to return to private ownership but who has the money to buy it back now that it is worth in the billions?
Continuous growth is possible. You just have to stay relevant. When have you ever seen a decline in sales of Chocolate, or the world's oldest profession?
@@V3Efreetwhy bigger billionaire companies can of course 🤓
/s
@@DS9TREK Continuous growth might be possible for periods of time. Infinite growth? Not so much. Every single business experiments ups and downs all the time, as history always teach us.
Change "video game companies" to captalists and you're right on the money.
Man, i just want them to put Xenogears on something current.
Every time i see or hear "did not meet expectations" to me that translates to "We were expecting it to sell a unrealistic 500mil+ & instead it sold a realistic 20mil" When greedy corpos expectations are too damn high that tends to happen.
Super Mario Land brings back memories of long car rides with nothing else but playing that game.
Yup I was 6 years old when I got it in 1993 or 94 and would play it religiously.
Something kids these days will never appreciate
Why isn't four swords on gba online??
That's like THE killer app for it and they're making us wait for like no reason
Remember when Sean (RGT) said no one except Jon is excited for Hell Divers 2?
That was his worst take on an upcoming game since Balan Wonderland
Super Mario Land was my first Game Boy game along with Tetris. Super Mario Land is the most odd of all Mario games, but you know, it’s good. However, the most surprising omission is Donkey Kong ‘94. The roots of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong style gameplay is that one.
Imagine Square Enix giving priority to Foamstars rather than Dragon Quest already knowing that Foamstars completely flopped......
WTF?
I play through Super Mario Land at least once a year and have been doing so since like forever. I think it's awesome and the music is absolutely top notch!
I wasn't worried about Dragon Quest XII being cancelled (though I did joke about it), but the lack of mention about Dragon Quest III HD-2D does...concern me. The trailer reveal for it was in May of 2021 (along with XII). Since then it's been all-but radio silence. XII is too big to cancel, but an HD remake of III? Hmm...
The NSO update reminded me that I haven't renewed my subscription in 2 months... And I don't feel the need to
Yes 12 million is impressive for such the time period it’s been out but like you said it was also released on pc day 1 & $40 price tag is affordable for a lot of us especially a group a friends craving an online multiplayer that keeps you invested.
He skipped mentioning Sony losing 10 billion in Feb.....
@@mikeuk666What does that have to do with the comment? Nothing you're just a sad 50+ year old man looking for attention.
@@mikeuk666
That has literally nothing to do with Helldivers 2. But good try with the bait, though.🙃
@@mikeuk666 They lost 10 billion shares. Not cash.
@Slaskisofa_TLG same thing 😆
Why did it take so long for Nintendo to release Mario Land 1 for NSO? Especially when Mario Land 2 was on the Gameboy service when it went live. It doesn’t really make sense.
Because it’s genuinely ancient, probably Nintendo didn’t even consider it to begin with and then realised how beloved it is later on.
Nintendo is gonna Nintendo
The overarching strategy is to initially release something appealing to attract consumers, then provide the core elements they desire. Eventually, the broader audience will accept subsequent releases, even if they're not as enticing. For instance, "Super Mario Land 2" was more attractive in terms of gameplay compared to its predecessor, which is why it was released first.
Because NINTENDO. They force people to emulate their classic games so they can sue people rather than *allow* paying customers to emulate on the $300 piece of hardware PLUS monthly subscription service. Nintendo sucks. Sony sucks. Microsoft sucks. I'm living in a nightmare.
Let talk and whining, it’s here now and that’s all that matters.
Square enix will definitely see some greater revenue by going multi-platform. Third parties are not meant to be exclusive, that’s what first party games are for.
Love your videos always a good way to start the morning thanks for all you do
Hearing just how many PS5s are now on the market paired with poor sales of Final Fantasy games makes me really wonder if the overlap of FF fans and Sony fans is significantly shrinking.
I think a large portion of jrpg fans are on switch now.
@@justwait9822 Can confirm.... I moved over to nintendo when all the good games seemingly evaporated from the playstation last generation. There is only 3 or 4 exclusive games that either just plain old didn't come out on switch or play so badly it isn't worth playing on switch that eventually I will buy a ps5 for to play on. That's quite a price tag for a handful of games so I'm waiting for a significant sale/black friday deal/ groundbreaking exclusive game reason to come along to buy a ps5 at a good price point. Still waiting sony.....
Yeah, it's particularly noticeable in markets like Japan, just last week I saw the numbers for Eiyūden Chronicles and the Switch version outsold the PS one 5 to 1, despite having a tons of performance issues
@justwait9822 heres the thing that makes me curious. How do you get a ff16 or ff7 rebirth on the switch. We've seen that on the ps5 those games arent well optimised (stable 60fps for ff16 and blurry 60fps for ff7) to begin with.
How would they even begin to port those games i wonder?
@@TheCourier0613 yeah people get mad at me when I point that same thing out. How multiplat release with a switch/switch 2 will likely force them to constrain future games due to tech limitations. I'd rather square push ff series as their showpiece but provide other games playable on everything.
This year is Dragonball's 40th anniversary so it makes sense it's releasing this year.
Dragon ball z? Lol that can't be true.
So you have Sony touting Helldivers selling 12 million on multiple platforms, no one complains. Square-Enix tries to make some cash on multiple platforms, people complain.
One is a positive for Sony, the other a negative for Sony. What did you expect?
Cult like mentality
I think the main issue is Squeenix doesn't really understand the market, they kinda just half ass it and throw it on just steam or lock it behind the great EGS paywall. Having the old Squeenix jrps on GOG would rock, but that sadly doesn't bring in call of duty numbers.
Different companies have different fans with different expectations.
If Sqeex games are underperforming under exclusivity then is said exclusivity really that much of a boon. To Sony. It sounds like the overlap of Sony players and FF fans isn't as big as it used to be. Or FF fans are as fickle as Sonic fans, either way sounds like its not a big loss these days.@@jimmymac2292
I remember seeing Mario land out in the wild for the 1st time. We were in a burger King and I saw a kid with his Gameboy. I of course ran over to him to check out the Gameboy. He was nice enough to let me try it. I wanted one so badly after that. Finally got one the following year for Xmas 🥰
I got here before the time stamps.
Im so glad you're actually reporting on something thats not just rumors
I remember playing mario land on christmas day with all my family huddled around the tv becouse our heating wasnt working so to keep warm we played till mornight mam was so happy when i told her it was now od the switch so she could play it again
Please please please let there be a port of Wipeout Omega collection. There are no Wipeout games officially available on PC at the moment and it's a crime because it was such an influential title for their consoles!!!
Awhile back it used to be on every platform. Apparently Psygnosis was bought by Sony, changed their name, until recently they were let go.
I also hope that Wipeout Omega is released on PC. That collection is excellent
@@kadosho02 I want it so bad. And with increased frame cap and a revived multiplayer it would just be amazing
I don't hear anybody talking about how terrible the naming scheme for Final Fantasy VII Remakes are in relation to sales.
If I had bought "Final Fantasy VII Remake" as a casual consumer, I wouldn't expect to also need to buy "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth", not to be confused with "Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade" which is supplemental to the supposedly intended trilogy.
Not to mention, Integrade is a bonus not unlike "Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion," which was released the same year as Rebirth and likewise does not share "Remake" im its title either.
Crisis core isn't required to follow the story.
Hadn't really thought about that too much until now. I agree.
I know people who were under the impression that FF7 was a full package remake, and not a game broken up in parts.
In retrospect, I believe it would have been helpful if they named the games FF7 PART 1, PART 2, etc
I've seen at least a few people IRL confused about it and had to explain it, sometimes I think companies forget how the average consumer doesn't understand naming schemes
@@Alorso_True, when a series has different parts being released during a period of time. Its core audience may take notice, but might not be happy with the direction it is taking.
Whereas a newcomer to a series, may not be aware of where to start.
Fans know what time it is, I have all 3 on 💿
I was involved in a class action lawsuit against Direct Tv, last year I got a check for about $900 and just last week I received a second check for about $400. Not bad at all.
Super Mario Land holds a special place in my heart. Sub-Pop and Sky-Pop are still two of my favorite in game additions. Amazing!!!
I just recently finished DQ11 Definitive Edition on PC and while I liked the game overall, I still have problems with the DQ franchise sticking way too much to its *outdated/traditional in-game aspects* like inventory management, battle music/sound effects, not being able to see enemy HP and lack of a turn time bar and so much more. I really hope DQ12 *modernizes* the franchise and brings it in-line with other modern JRPGs (like *The Legend of Heroes,* for example).
In regards to the music in Dragon Quest, part of the problem came from the late Koichi Sugiyama, leaving his ideologies asided, while he was great composer I think he kind of tarnished DQ's reputation due to his insistence of making the tracks in the DQ series MIDI based just for people to buy the orchestral soundtrack, going to his concerts or waiting until a new edition with orchestral music. I hope that for Dragon Quest XII Enix and Armor Project will use actual instruments for the OST
I like how all 3 of the Gameboy games added were North American launch titles from 1989
At last Super Mario Land is on NSO. I can't remember one time of putting this cartridge inside my grey GB and not to finish it. Now I finished it also at NSO. Such a great game! Full nostalgia mode.
Mario Land was the first videogame I ever played and I played it on the first videogame system I ever owned. Before that I didn't know what a videogame even is, let alone how they function. But this game taught me well, still a classic.
We're still missing Donkey Kong 94 and SMB DX on the GBC.
SE never said anything about Star Ocean 2 HD remake. I got the feeling that the multi platform money was way to good
Last I heard FF16 sold for every ps5 it could...
They felt compelled to mess with ff7 remake just before rebirth launch ... which certainly affected the sales since they've proven they're not to be trusted
they're team management being a mess is nothing new (FF vs13...) So they say they'll rework it but it's not the first time I don't see how they could keep investor trust like that
Japan Gameboy got one extra game, the precursor to Zelda Link's Awakening. The main character from that game even has a camio in Z:LA.
No segments? Bloody hell.
Username checks out
Sparking Zero is a day one purchase for me. Budakai Tenkaichi 2 on the PS2 is one of my favorite games to this day so I am super excited for this game!
Square Enix may be disappointed by their games but atleast they're not shutting down their development studios
They shut down the one who made Forespoken and merged them with another one.
They would if zero profit
@@jubei20111And us Xbox fanboys celebrated at their closure. Don't let these ponies or Nintendrones win.
They literally did shut down the studio that made Forespoken lol
@@jcdenton41100who wins what, exactly?
When’s the spawn cast panel at too many games? Trying to buy my tickets now, couldn’t find them
Loved Super Mario Land 1 & 2. Wish they’d also give us SML 3: Wario Land. I remember being so disappointed cuz it wasn’t Mario and then loving the game. Can’t find a good ROM either.
I'm glad Nintendo added the first Mario Land, but WHERE IS MARIO PAINT ON SNES CATALOG.
You can't expect Final Fantasy to sell like hot cakes when you released only for one console
I’ll prolly double dip on Ghost f it runs well on the deck. Ish gonna look juicy in that Oled.
You dont have a OLED TV? It looks great on an OLED tv at least
@@jjboonzaier yeah lgc1. Probably the best looking game I’ve played. But to have in handheld mode, would be amazing. Worth another purchase.
I bet GameCube games will be added after the June Nintendo Direct
The quesrion is. Does the HD2 sales account the refunds from the 177 regions???
short answer : no
long answer: the financial reports only accounts what has been recorded as accounting transactions in the prior months before the controversy hits, so yes the q1 report will look good in the c suite and investors eyes, on the next quarter reports it will be disclosed as either loss due to refunds or loss due to steam as a liability for steam fronting the refund cost and then reimbursing themselves with what the ps revenue would've been from steam
Super Mario Land was my first game I got on the Delta App. Wasn’t waiting for Nintendo to do it and they just now did. Get out of my head Miyamoto!
Honestly the poll surprises me. I would take a handheld over a stationary console ANY DAY, and a "console" version would have a huge advantage over the windows handhelds in the ways of optimizations
I just need them to put Astrobot on PSVR2 before they bury the system forever.
Part of the reason why I have a PS5 is because my computer isn't really capable of playing newer titles and some PC ports turn out poorly (like Jedi Survivor). I can also get certain games earlier.
I'm not surprised Foamstars fell short. It's just trying to be Splatoon.
Super Mario Land wasn't on NSO before? That sounds like a title that should be added first. Wasn't it a launch title? This was one of the first Mario games I played. I actually uploaded a playthrough of this game in full color.
I wouldn't have too much use for a Playstation Handheld. I don't travel much.
Wait, people were actually worried that Dragon Quest would be canceled?
I think the people who were worried about Dragon Quest are the ones that know very little about the franchise, probably the ones who didn't even know about the series until Hero were added to Smash Ultimate
Dragon Quest is practically an institution in Japan, DQIII is the template for all of the JRPGs to this day
Super Mario Land is super nostalgic for me as it came with my GameBoy which I got as a birthday present.
I like the class action lawsuit claims. It's always a nice surprise of a few cents to a couple of bucks that I didn't just have.
Rebirth should have been regular price… in Canada it was an extra tenner which made me wait for a second hand copy.
I want Kirby Block Ball for Gameboy on NSO
i am baffled SuperMarioLand wasn't on there already
Lords had it problems, but it's a very underrated souls game and with the most recent content update, it's gotten better
I sure hope that the HD2D games survive SE's reorganization. They might not be blockbuster hits but seem to turn a profit--and they are charming to an old SE fan like myself who loves traditional JRPGs.
2:35 100 hours long?
Super Mario land was so good back in the day. We burned through so many Double A batteries on that.
It’s good that they added the first Super Mario Land to NSO, but I was in no rush for it to be on the service, especially since I have the game on my 3DS, and I own it physically.
But I was however surprised that Alleyway got added into the service, at first I thought it was a lame Breakout clone, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it is, it even has Mario in the game, who pilots the paddle and Mario themed Breakout puzzles as bonus stages, definitely a very enjoyable game.
Quote: "Ancient, prehistoric even" & "Waaay way back in the day". As someone who grew up on the NES and Gameboy, thanks for making me feel old...ancient, prehistoric even. HAHAHA!
Nintendo needs to contact third parties to get their games on NSO. I figure Nin can say "We will port the game over for a 60/40 split" or something. It's not like these companies are making any sales at all off of them.
Prehistoric Super Mario Land, now I feel old 😂. I remember when this first came out
First Spawn Wave video with no description
A PS steam deck equivalent would absolutely kill it. The only reason the vita failed was because it was a completely different pipeline that scared devs away
I'd prefer they focus on PS5 & Playstation VR instead of continuing to release hardware risks.
FF 16 & 7R2 didn't meet expectations? Maybe if they weren't made exclusive to a single console that's too expensive for so many people to bother with! if you limit how many people can actually play the game, your sales figures are going to be limited as well. Why is this hard to understand?
The games just aren't that good man. PlayStation out sold Xbox 5-1 last quarter and they would just want it on Gamepass.
back then, portable gaming blew our minds,
in the near future, offline gaming will blew their minds
Super Mario Land is actually great. In many ways, it’s not like other Marios. I had that and a few others on my Gameboy as a kid. Loved it
I wouldn't buy a new PS handheld because it would just be a mobile PS5/6. I want a different range of games for handheld as with Vita/PSP.
A dedicated OS is no longer profitable. They would have to convince third parties to make their own ports or exclusive games for a system that would most likely already be in between the PS4 pro and PS5 in terms of capabilities. Might as well just release a handheld PS5.
that would mean splitting dev teams of their studios to work on separate games and they're already spread thin as they are considering it takes 5-6 years to work on triple A games now.
Reminder that what made the switch so great for the its core audience is having to no longer worry about getting separate entries for franchises they like on a different handheld and on a home console. it combined their dev teams to work on a single one. Back then you had to get a 3ds for animal crossing and fire emblem, then get a wii U for a couple mario games and zelda.
I don't want to be forced to get a theoretical Uncharted spin off on a handheld device for example and then continue the next chapter of that game on another console later on.
I wouldn’t buy anything from PlayStation that load a handheld, PlayStation sucks balls and are gross 🤮
@@Adamtendo_player_1 bait use to be believable.
You're not going to get that, Vita failed. It's not going to happen. It would be better to have a dedicated handheld with a shared library and cross progression. It's not 2012 anymore.
By the way, a big selling point of the Vita was having cross ports like Sly Cooper and PS All-Stars, so.
Look, Mario Land 1 is cool and all, but cmon, where's Wario Land 1 and *especially* 2
everyone is putting down Sony and the PS5 yet its just slightly behind the PS4 clearly PlayStation is just fine
Exactly ps5 is only 400k units behind PS4 at this time in the life cycle so ps5 is doing really good and playstation will be doing really good.
It's fine unless we're talking about growth. If the PS5 sales are tracking under the PS4, and the PS4 sold 117 million units, then the PS5 should sell around 100 million units. That's still well below Sony's best-selling console, the PS2 at 158 million. That's what investors are looking at when they say the console market isn't growing. It's up and down and likely not going back up to 158 million sold, and the PS5 is tracking to sell only two-thirds of that. And that's why Sony feels pressured to expand into the PC market. Consoles aren't doing fine unless the company is happy with that ceiling. Nintendo, for example, seems completely happy with that ceiling. But what's clear is that the console market isn't growing.
It's fine but it's funny the figures ignore Sony losing 10 billion in Feb
@@mikeuk666 Make your mind up yesterday it was 20 billion seems like someone can't keep his story straight. You really are a pathetic console warrior.
@@Revon13 20 billion was 2022 10 billion was 2024
It took a long time for me to move from console to PC because of the complications I've heard. But I haven't experienced those complications. Maybe it is because I use it like a console. I did not put anything else on it. I did not put any other app on it. I don't check my email on it. I don't search the web on it. I don't buy things on it. My other PC's don't even talk to it except with a thumb-drive. It is turned off when I'm not gaming. That's mostly because when it is idle it uses over 100 watts. When it is running a game it uses over 500 watts.
I’m so mad that even after getting LOTF for 50% off that it’s going to Game Pass. I felt like even paying 50% was still paying too much (especially, when it was still bugged to no end). It seems like it’s running much better now. The visuals are really good but I’m not crazy about the combat. I do love the amount of different builds that you can pull off. It’s definitely worth a playthrough on Game Pass. Just don’t expect anything on FromSoftware’s level.
Wait for ff7 part 3 release for complete trilogy, sales will suddenly blow to kingdom come
Especially if they release a complete bundle like the kingdom hearts collection
I remember my uncle being a huge FF player 15 years ago. I never go into it, but loved watching the game. To me now a days I don't get into them because all the games look way too similar for a casual gamer like me, like we need variety amongst the brand Square Enix or your to HTC themselves in the current gaming climate.
A new PS handheld is how they will be able to get away with the “All digital future”
I played the crap out of baseball for GB!
The thing with handhelds from xbox and PlayStation, their games are on pc. If not right away, then eventually. Probably for the same price if not cheaper, the pc handhelds would be a better choice and the console handhelds will probably lock online behind a paywall anyways.
FF VII remake on Switch 2, let’s goooooooo
I bought Helldivers 2 for PS5 💪
For those that haven't tried it yet, I played Super Mario Land for the first time a few years ago, and even though it's old, it actually holds up super well IMO (my hot take is that both the Super Mario Land games actually hold up better than the NES quadrilogy, speaking as a recent first-time player). The Super Mario Land games are very straightforward, but that's not at all a bad thing IMO - makes for a very enjoyable casual playthrough
Honestly at this point it's time FF ate the bullet, dropped the pride, and made a truly traditional Final Fantasy.
Whether that be one hell of a fancy 2DHD title which could be easier on the budget and development time. Or reeling it backwards a bit and giving us games closer to FFIX or X. I think they need to put a pin in these constant block buster "graphical pushing" games and instead put more time into telling compelling stories with a great cast of characters.
Been a fan of Dragon Quest since the first one on NES 👍
I’ll be a buyer of FF16/FF Rebirth on PC day one
How wild would it be if Harvestella sold more on switch than rebirth did on PS5.
I just want Sony to allow us to bring our saves from ps5 to the pc releases. Cross progression would be awesome for single player games.
Super mario land was the first video game i ever played in the 80s
When you are locked onto just one system then you will likely not reach sales expectations(except for Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, and Insomniac). Rockstar would be the only developer(outside of Nintendo)with an actual system seller on any console.
Seriously 😒 no timestamps in the year 2024!?
cbgg1585: "there never was a drift epidemic" 😂
I was more surprised by Alleyway. Granted that's solely because I beat the game for the first time in forever on 3DS last month.
I didn't expect Nintendo to acknowledge their breakout clone any time soon.
I don't know how they are defining their sales targets but I hope they are factoring in that many gamers are not buying games at release because it is normal for games to release unfinished so they wait until they hear they are in a reasonable shape before buying them. But if they are factoring that into their targets and the sales figures still fall short of those targets it may be due to gamers having waited so long that they have forgotten about them or have lost interest. That said, maybe there is nothing wrong with the game but rather they should work on releasing their games finished while the interest is still there.
Sqare Enix could reissue physical copies of Final Fantasy pixel remaster collection in a Steelbook. They could make it exclusive to game stop.
There’s no push for Hellblade most likely because the game isn’t as good as everyone hoped. That’s how it always goes with games.
Hey, Nintendo, I’m still waiting for donkey Kong 64 on NSO,!
Dragon Quest 12 might be a Switch 2 console timed exclusive. Dragon Quest is huge in Japan, and other than 7 and 8 (when Sony absolutely dominated), has been heavily tied to Nintendo.
I would not rule out the 2D/3D Remake of Dragon Quest III being a Switch 2 launch window release either.
Helldivers 2 is a great game, well deserving of the 12 million copies sold. With that many sold, why is it that I only see about 100k-200k players online at one time?
