Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

I don't get why this would do bad yet the FMs are the EXACT same game with a few bosses and cutscenes. However come to think of it KH2FM+ was KH2 and Re:CoM.

Considering it was competing with Pokemon Black/White...

This.
And don't forget the FMs had the english dub, which make it fresh.

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Not in Japan because of KH2FM

Over here, however, it didn't do very well.
That's why Europe will never get it.

Fixed. Though with pain in my heart. They weren't planning a Europe release anyway. I believe it was stated before the American Release.

About Re:Coded, like Sign says, it's competing with Black and White. There aren't many games that could outsell those in the same periods. I expect it to do better in the US and Europe though. (Unless they release it along with Black and White again, in which case they get double retard points)

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Good series get milked like this, it applies to video games or series. It just comes with a good series.

Besides, SE is the king of milking. They are on like what Final fantasy 13? Not to count the side games.

yea but final fantasy when it ends it is made into an entirely new game but kh is a series and all these got damn side games that they are making is milking it

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Yeah, I think Square pulled a Tales/Namco with Re:coded. They released it too close to at least one other high-profile game-- in this case, Pokemon Black and White.

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Maybe it has something to do with the consoles.

I mean from PS2 to DS to PSP to DS AGAIN, and then to the 3DS. i mean you cant keep expecting people to buy new consoles just for one game.

but whatevs.

i mean its 55,000 copies behind the number 2 slot, so it got some work to do

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

damn, shadowkey, you beat me to it.

I do that. :D

i wonder how it will do here then...

That's what I'm worried about, but like Raz said, we never got the original game while everyone in Japan did, so it'll probably do better here.

But then again, this is like a Final Mix in a sense, so shouldn't it do the same as the others do in Japan? Ah well.

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Sigh, it'll sell decently, but I wasnt expecting as much as Days, lol.
But they REALLY need to space out the games. I mean, 3 KH games in the same year and a half has got to get tiring. I'll still buy Re:Coded, but when I have money. I'm saving up for the 3DS, lolz.
But just wait until KH3D comes out in 2012, that'll sell HUGE. :p

Well, for Japanese fans it's been 10 months since the last one.

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Japan has already played coded, so re:coded isn't gonna sell that well over there. Plus, they released the same time as pokemon. It will sell a lot better in the states because we didn't get coded.

Maybe this is a sign that people are tired of the fillers and spin offs and now want the real deal. Bring in KH3 and make millions Square.

I'm sure KH3D is going to be lackluster in sales as well.

You again? Looks like the countless posts about the KH team being busy with Versus just went ignored, as usual.

Well, the particular model they released it on isn't actually all that popular to begin with. Iirc, it was part of some deal Disney had... anyways, considering the game is only available in Japan, I doubt anyone actually released it for illegal download.

Re: Coded Fails Sales Wise

Well, if the rest of the KH population is like me they don't really see or understand where the coded games fit into the KH series. Just seems like a side game that doesn't really relate to the whole KH storyline in the way that KH2, BBS, Days and CoM do. So if fans have an opportunity to skip playing the same worlds with the same story lines with a bunch of blocks that you can hit thrown in, plus B grade cut scenes I wouldn't blame them.

Er... Coded takes place after the end of KH2, it's what ties BBS and Days into the present plot, thus making them relevant, and it's the beginning of the bridge leading into KH3.
