Gotta shoot them all

Level 5 games donât even release in the West anymore. I actually donât know/think if this means theyâre âon boardâ again. If anything I take this more as MS willing to pick at Bamco published backlog stuff. In which case I want .hack, Tales of Berseria, and Super Robot Wars (GP release for this is impossible though because itâs Asia only)
Id give this a 7/10. It was a solid showing and honestly its the best tgs showing xbox have had since the 360 daysâŠwhich isnt saying much as theyve been absolutely awful during the xbox one gen and even last 2 years they were sub par
Having said that it doesnt get any higher due to no real surprise at the end and could have had something from Tango.
The positives for me were ports of the Ni no kuni ganes FinallyâŠtaken way too long. Also the cross tag and guilty gear games coming is a huge deal. These are top quality fighting games. Xbox one missed out on a lot of japanese fighting games.
Im still hugely excited for Eiyuden Chronicles. One of my most anticipated games next year. Wo long looks amazing too.
A lot of good stuff but just missing that big announcement.
I give it this show 8/10 because while it did not have those âfirst time reveal of new gameplayâ like Sonyâs event it was kinda a heartwarming show in a sense that Xbox is getting back the games from other studios (Ni No Kuni I think was rumored by Grubb, but Guilty Gear was a surprise). Philâs trips bore fruits.
Shame that no many people streamed it live due to timezones. Would be neat to see the live reactions of some folks.
Also it had a pokemon game with guns so

With now Level 5 back on board again after SO many years I wonder what other games by them we could he getting that weâve missed out on.
Overall itâs been quite a while that we saw a big title by them, right?
As I said, this whole âLevel 5 back on boardâ thing, I donât know about that, because they donât even release their games in the West anymore.
I think Ni no Kuni 2 actually was their last big Western release. Since them thereâs been Yokai Watch 4 (Japan only game) and Megaton Musashi (Japan only game, also a flop).
There isnât anything else left to grab from them

Ah, I see man.
That is such a shame, they could make a third NNK or something else. Wasnât NNK a success?
Either way, still great we get these two games. These really came out of left field.
I think the NNKs were decent successes but Level 5âs true strength in that era was Yokai Watch which was briefly as big as Pokemon. Once YW started losing steam, plus questionable business decisions from leadership (pivoting away from Nintendo parterships because the CEO thought the Switch would fail) they crashed pretty hard. Even closed Level 5 Western branch.
Glad to see these too and I hope it means MS will pick at other Bamco published backlog stuff that skipped Xbox.

Just catching up with the news and wow! So many games I want to play. Iâve been waiting to play Ni No Kuni for years. Xbox putting in the work in Japan.

Just catching up with the news, it seems like it was a very solid show, and again the sign that MS is getting step by step into the Japanese market again.

Just catching up. I hope this puts to rest any notion that Xbox doesnât care about Japan or some other nonsense - Guilty Gear, Blazblue, and the Ni No Kuni games on top of what weâve gotten over the last three years is huge.

People will let up more once they do some XGSP games in Japan⊠and they meet their specific criteria.

When I need to look up what was announced at the show because this highlights video is mostly quick cuts and fluff, thatâs a sign the âhighlightsâ video fails at properly highlighting what was there. I remember a time during the 360 days when Xboxâs trailers used to be the best in the business. WTF happened to their marketing department in the last 10+ years?
Phil/Xbox in general deserve loads of respect for their efforts and boy is it paying off. Japanese games may not easily be the most played games by Xbox players, but they still put the effort in and that can only be appreciated.
What I would like to see next, in the future is Xbox getting some of these graphically impressive Asian games too. Granted that most of them still seem to be very far away, like Where the Winds Meet. I donât think it even had a release year? Same as Wukong, they say 2023 but I sayâŠweâll see. But these two and several more whom Iâve forgotten the names of I really hope Xbox pays attention to.
That DokeV game from last year TGA(or was that already back in 2020?)for example too!
This is TGS, but I assume Chinese and Korean studios attend it too with their projects?
