Koei Tecmo: Games, Developer & Business News

[deathofaninja]

I get you're one of those "Xbox or die" people, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo having a minority stock ownership doesn't have to force their games on the Switch unless the hardware can run them.

Yeah, but I wouldn't be so sure that it doesn't help or benefit them either. It's a snarky way to do business especially after what we found out about Sony in the FTC vs Microsoft case. The funny thing is this Atelier game isn't coming to PS or the Switch. So, for someone who plays all of them; they have to dip into another ecosystem.

You do realize that what you said basically advocated for Xbox to become a monopoly over the industry, even if it's not going to be immediately apparent. And if it's not, it'll feel that way if someone HAS to play Redfall or Starfield on PC and the Switch can't run either of them, due to outdated or faulty hardware. But, give it a rest. You sound like you're gonna heckle Koei-Tecmo if they don't do what you want them to. How is that a solution?

How? I noted that all of their business deals for Microsoft were put under public scrutiny and eyes for the entire world to see. Sony's were all done behind closed doors or private phone calls.

I sound like I'm going to heckle Koei Tecmo if they don't do what I want them to do? Really? That's what you think? Right because I haven't showered them with praise for almost everything they've done this year...

Because you only seem interested in using Japanese people as human shields instead of letting them stand on their own two feet. Besides, Scalebound was canned on Microsoft's watch. How is that good to you? No wonder you have such a hard-on for older DOA games. You're too busy chasing a ghost to see what's in front of you, and would probably end up scaring the people you want to attract.

First sentence I'm not even going to entertain. Second sentence has no relevance to anything I said.

Hard on for older DOA games? Uh seems like a crazy sentence coming from someone who falsely casted Itagaki as a sex predator, but I actually like all DOA games other than DOAD.

Say what you want about me. I really don't care. You're on my list of 'repeat offenders' who don't learn from their mistakes.

Oh. On reflection, I'm glad you clarified that. I have no experience with a 3DS or DOAD, so I might take your word for it... somewhat.

Wild Hearts was recently added to Game Pass for those interested in Koei Tecmo's version of Monster Hunter. The Game Pass check should help recover from losses due to mediocre sales for the title and expand its audience.

Pretty big news for anyone that likes the Atelier franchise. I think Team NINJA develops gacha games as good as they can be, and I'll play it just as I do DOAXVV.

So, they're losing money again. Great.

They didn't lose money in the sense of game sales not meeting expectations but lost 30 million dollars in bad investments that wasn't entirely their fault.

They may not sell millions of copies per game, but they have always been responsible on their budget and money made in return.

Aw, you still want them to get on their knees and beg for an Xbox deal, huh? You oughta have your press credentials revoked.

You really gotta let me know what strain you’re smoking sometime. I wanna go to this place.

Only real new game announcement by KT for 2024 other than the previously known Ronin and Atelier Gacha for NA. I think it's going to be really interesting to see what they announce this year. Updated the OP with the 2024 year. Cheers!
