Here’s a chart comparing the sales trends for the GBA, DS, Wii, and 3DS:

Sakaguchi open to The Last Story sequel, not sure if he’ll make one
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Hironobu Sakaguchi likes the thought of making a sequel to The Last Story. However, he isn’t sure if he’ll follow through on the idea.
During his BAFTA presentation last night, Sakaguchi said the following when asked about a sequel:
“It’s a good idea but I don’t really know whether I will be doing it.”
I’m sure Nintendo would have to approve of a sequel before anything happens. Who knows if they’re even happy with the sales of the game thus far…
