Which platform do Japanese gamers want the next Dragon Quest on? Popular Japanese IT magazine Weekly ASCII sought answers to this very question, and decided to ask its readers for input.

The publication shared the following results after holding a poll:

PS4: 62%
Wii U: 8%
iPhone: 8%
PC: 5%
Tablets 3%
Android Smartphones: 3%
Xbox One: 1%
SH-01F Dragon Quest: 1%
Other: 9%

It’s important to note that there was no specific option for the 3DS, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation Vita. I imagine that would have impacted the results quite a bit had they been included.

Update (11/11/13): Teaser site was fir a mobile title.

Earlier today, Namco Bandai went live with a new Japanese teaser site. You can find it here.

The site doesn’t offer many clues other than the words “break burst”. We’ll find out what’s being teased here in six days.

Sonic games tend not to sell well in Japan. And so it shouldn’t be shocking to see that the franchise’s latest entry, Sonic Lost World, has completely bombed in its first week. That doesn’t make the game’s performance any less disappointing, though.

Media Create’s latest data revealed that the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World sold 4,919 copies in its first few days of availability in Japan. The Wii U version, however, was nowhere to be seen.

Dengeki has come through with sales of its own courtesy of ASCII Media Works. Despite the fact that Sonic Lost World was the best-selling Wii U game in Japan last week, it managed to sell just 2,076 copies.

Retailer HMV has shared some of the first details about Karous: The Beast of Re: Eden. Players will be able to clear short missions in the game, which contains he unique sword/shot/shield system from the Dreamcast title Karous. There’s also a picture unlocking system featuring StreetPass usage and a training mode.
