Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO

Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO
Two Street Fighter versus Tekken collaborations announced.
Capcom's "Street Fighter X Tekken" and BANDAI NAMCO's "Tekken X Street Fighter". Capcom's would be on PS3 and Xbox 360, BANDAI NAMCO's waiting for further information.
How about that?
If one of them is boring, we will see the difference of the strength of these companies.
So cheap...
I can't say anything more by the announcement alone. Capcom may make an arcade version too. Like Street Fighter 4, they may launch an arcade version after a home console release. Or BANDAI NAMCO make an arcade version first, when it launch a home version, Capcom launch its arcade version at the same time.
Here is the details of Capcom's announcement.

"Street Fighter X Tekken"（Capcom version）:

As in Street Fighter IV, 2D gameplay will feature fully realized 3D character models battling for domination in both new and familiar highly detailed environments that are brought to life with engaging animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and Training that will feature new enhancements to make the fighting experience more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken will include Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to deliver knockout assist attacks and special combos." (Capcom Press Release)
Anyway, Capcom is 2D, BANDAI NAMCO is 3D.
Interesting.
Capcom is good at home console online mode. Street Fighter 4 sales good so we can expect more.
"Tekken 6" sales good too I suppose?
Worse then Street Fighter 4 worldwide. Counting till March 31, 2010 Street Fighter 4 shipped 2.9 million. Tekken 6 shipped 2.9 million too but sales is not good and the price is dropping. Maker recall some stock too so Street Fighter 4 sold more.
Really.
2D and 3D is hard to compare, but we can know which one is better by the overall game balance, versus system, download content etc. We can know if they are user-friendly.
How would you predict?
From the past result Capcom should be better. I think BANDAI NAMCO should notice the truth that they could no longer cheat users. This time the game can be compared clearly, if they just think about money users would know easily. Hope the staff can provide good content to users with real heart.
We will update for you guys.

Western Games Sell Badly in Japan Because We are a Defeated Nation

Western Games Sell Badly in Japan Because We are a Defeated Nation
I come to a conclusion.
What so sudden...
Western games sell badly in Japan because we are a defeated nation!
What...
What the HELLLL!!
What do you mean?
There are so many reasons explaining the bad sales of western games in Japan, and the essence of those reasons is that Japan is a defeated nation.
What is your authority for saying that?
Same thing happens in Germany too. We had talked about that in the article "Nintendo General Meeting of Shareholders 2010" on June 29.
And the original speech by Nintendo had been posted on Big N's official site. So we just refer to it.

"Germany gamer population is extremely low. Further study shows that German society hardly accept video game. Many people hate video game in Germany. Especially there are many (western) gun shooting game featuring war, and the historical background of Germany induce strong rejection to that." (from Nintendo Official Site)
From the above opinion, Germany seems to be strongly disliking gaming itself.
Japan has its own background so the result is different.
Japan's own background?
Japan launched Famicom, Super Famicom, PlayStation and all kind of console from the past. We used to gaming itself. And our characters are those have no cruelty, such as Mario. And we have many fantasy-type RPG. These made us less rejecting video game.
Huh.
But Germany have no such character-culture. Europe is not so HOT in gaming originally. And in such environment Xbox 360 launch so many gun shooting game, and this make Germany rejection as said by CEO Satoru Iwata.
Germany hate those games killing enemy by guns, and this emotion spread to all gaming. On the other hand, Japanese only reject gun shooting game.
Thinking of Germany's situation, we can understand why western games sell badly in Japan. Of course that is not the only reason but it's a big one.
