Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 15 Comments
Today, Capcom announced its latest financial results for the nine months of fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. The company’s net sales came in at 57,060 million yen, up 19.3 percent from the same period last year. Operating income rose 9 percent year-over-year to 10,604 million yen and ordinary income is reported at 10,640 million yen, an increase of 5.2 percent from the same term last year. Finally, net income is also up 7.1 percent from the same period last year to 7,006 million yen.
Capcom said that Monster Hunter X “was a major hit”, but The Great Ace Attorney’s sales “remained slow.” Additionally, “sales of repeat titles and digital download contents were firm, particularly in overseas markets, in the Digital Contents business.”
Two Monster Hunter 3DS games are in Capcom’s million sellers list. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate moved another 200,000 copies, and lifetime sales now sit at 4.1 million. Monster Hunter X has sold 3.2 million copies, exceeding Capcom’s forecast of 2.5 million units.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a feature on Ace Attorney 6. Thanks to the folks on Court Records, some of the information has been made known.
Here’s a summary from the site:
– FUSE Takuro is the art director for this game (officially)
– YAMAZAKI was “scenario director” for Ace Attorney 5, which meant he could focus on the story
– Now the “normal” director of the game, being the person responsible for all that’s going on on the development floor
– FUSE was AA5’s art director, but this time he’s both art director and co-director of the game
– YAMAZAKI sets out the larger creative course for the game, while FUSE makes the calls on the level beneath that
– Currently in a playable state
– Because many people said AA5 was to easy, they’re now carefully checking how they present hints to the players
– Because people thought the Spirit Vision system in the TGS 2015 demo was difficult, they’ve tweaked that
– The 3D models of the characters who appeared in the previous games like Phoenix and Apollo have all been remade
