Project Phoenix dev explains why game isn’t coming to Nintendo systems, says their hardware isn’t “exciting”

Project Phoenix is heading to the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, but it won’t be on any of Nintendo’s platforms. Given how pleased indies have been with the company, you have to wonder why this is so.
Director and producer Hiroaki Yura did provide an explanation when asked about the situation. Most of Yura’s words were very much critical – he said “not a lot of people” purchase Nintendo systems, indicated that there are “so many restrictions” in place, and stated that the company doesn’t accept indie games in Japan.
Yura ultimately said that even though Nintendo may have “interesting” hardware, is isn’t “exciting”.

Yakuza 1 & 2 HD sells under 2,000 units in debut week
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Earlier today, Dengeki published its own chart covering Japanese sales for the previous the week. Yakuza 1 & 2 HD made its Wii U debut in the most-recent period covered, but didn’t manage to reach the top 50.
What does that mean? Well, the game that did place 50th on the list sold 1,878 copies. That means Yakuza 1 & 2 sold less than that – a monstrous disappointment, but not a surprising result.
