Well I'd imagine it would sell well, but I don't think it's going to sell better than Pokemon, even in Japan...
About that...
I'm really interested in this game at the moment, since it seems to be doing really well.
Well dang... This must be like 5/5 stars top of the line then.... Need to get my hands on a copy if/when it comes out in NA
There will be a release in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Korea.
Not sure when, though. I thought I saw a pre-porder box in GameStop yesterday but that may have just been me thinking about the game too much.
I might not get this game on release but the it does look to be a promising game and I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure. Maybe if my friends get it too then I'd be more likely to jump on board.
I have heard that it is starting to (or already has?) decline in Japan from releasing too many games in a short period of time among other things. I hope that it isn't a fad for a couple years and manages to stay successful.
Also, some of the yokai look kinda freaky in a way pokemon doesn't have - I'm talking about a normal woman except with a freakily long neck and also that cracked skull girl thing.
