Hideki Kamiya turned down an offer to have Bayonetta in Project X Zone 2, now regrets it
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 19 Comments
Project X Zone 2 features a ton of characters from Bandai Namco, Capcom, and SEGA. Heck, there are even a few from Nintendo as well.
One character that didn’t make the final cut was Bayonetta. PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya revealed on Twitter that he received an offer to have her in, but declined it. Now he sort of regrets it.
Kamiya wrote:
There was an offer, but I said no. Now I kinda regret that I said no. RT @KoriMaru

As for why Kamiya turned down the offer, he explained:
I said no to the offer of PXZ cuz I want to make the game in which Bayo & Dante appear by myself. But thinking of fans, maybe I was wrong.

That message seems to have been posted after Kamiya saw images of Segata Sanshiro in Project X Zone 2.
Not bad. RT @KoriMaru Would u consider letting Namco Bandai include Bayonetta in Project X Zone 3 with interactions pic.twitter.com/UFR9oVXqGA

Shin Megami Tensei IV Final’s debut Japanese sales are half of its predecessor, 73% sell-through
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 16 Comments
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final sold just over 96,000 copies in its first week in Japan, as reported by Media Create a few days ago. The sales tracker has since relayed additional information about the game’s performance.
According to Media Create’s data, Shin Megami Tensei IV Final sold through 73.28 percent of its initial shipment. On the other hand, the first Shin Megami Tensei IV sold 189,000 copies in its first week with a sell-through rate of 80.14 percent. That means sales were halved with Final, and the consumption rate was a bit lower. This new 3DS entry also saw about half as many few pre-orders – 56,000 units compared to the original’s 98,000 copies. Overall, Media Create points to an assumption that a percentage of series fans who bought the prequel have left the scene.
