g'day 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 enderzero, you say Industry support, but I'm sure I read that Japanese developers - possibly the most important in the world? - are running away from the system given the total sales in Japan (I think they went into double digits last week) ?

enderzero 0 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Some yes, but some have been Xbox shy all along. What about Sega and Tecmo? Both big into Xbox. Capcom and Konami both have a bunch of games coming down the pipe. It is possible to sell systems if Square isn't behind you. Link to post Share on other sites

cheeseman 1 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I tell you - if they took my advice and tried to appeal to cheesefans - as per my post above - they would run away with the title! Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Got an XBox - get Panzer Dragoon Orta. My jaw dropped to below the floor when I saw it and it plays oh so sweet. If you like shooters and flying dragons (even if you dont like the dragons so much) - its a must have. Best looking game ever! Link to post Share on other sites

Wizz 11 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Not sure bobby12, but I'm kinda interested too. BTW, what games you got then??? Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 i have a nintendo gamecube now, but i am gonna sell to a used game shop. they said they'd gimme 15,000yen for the console pus my extra controller and 3 games. can go wrong! i need an xbox cos the online facility looks great, and some of the games will be in english. plus they have better games. i have realised nintendo is 90% a kids console.

big-will 7 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 There are some good games for the Cube as well though - Eternal Darkness, Wave Race, Bioharard 0. What have you got? Some of the games in English on the Xbox? What's that then? Link to post Share on other sites
DrMabuse 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 But the Box is having a rough time of it in Japan isn't it? Lots of the games from the US don't seem to be getting a release over here. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Since the "Almost nude" volleyball came out it seems to be faring a little bit better, nowhere near as good as the PS2 of course. Link to post Share on other sites
quigleydude 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 The House Of The Dead III on XBox. One of the options for level of violence setting is ----- "Gratituous". Haha. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 yeah i want that one. does the 6000yen for the game include the gun? or do you have to buy it seperatly? if anyone on here wants to hook up on xbox live, leave a message! Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Some wish. The gun is separate - about another 4000 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 come on man, there must be somone out there who wants to play phantasy star online with me! Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 My J friend has an Xbox (so now you know who the Japanese Xbox owner is), and showed me a game called Otogi last night. Awesome stuff. Its like an action/slasher game but the settings/music/story is all very traditional Japanese. Definitely different, awesome graphics - a lot of fun. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Do you know if it has a different name for export sale or if it even available overseas yet? If you like that you might want to check out Dynasty Warriors 3. Link to post Share on other sites
hide 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Otogi? Looks like maybe no release in US: http://xbox.ign.com/articles/386/386531p1.html http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/review/R45272.html http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/review/R45555.html Excellent game. Very very Japanese. Pity hardly anyone will be able to play it here. Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I got an Xbox last month: House of the Dead 3 - good shooting fun Halo - awesome Jet Set Radio Future - very cool That Otogi looks really good too. I can't see why the Box isn't selling in Japan, there's some awesome titles on it. Link to post Share on other sites
JEZx 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Amazingly, 1 reason is it's too big. Not cute enough. The thing is massive though, why did they pass on that? Link to post Share on other sites
gamer 0 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 My take on all this. I have all 3 consoles (ps2, cube, box) and like them all. Ps2 makes up for its dated-ness in the fact that programmers are now pushing the machine to its limits and so there are great games out there - just don't by the duff. Cube has exclusives, but lots of kiddies games. Box is my favorite - the best technology and the games will only get better. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Yeah I'll check out that Otogi game. The swirling staff remeinds me of Azurik. Anyone actually play that? Most under rated game on the Xbox. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I saw that in Akihab the other day - looked like fun, but just like other slashers just set in Japan and seriously Japanese traditional music. It looked full of Japanese text too - so be careful. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 The box is looking better with time. While PS2 is still by far the most popular here in the UK, it is starting to look maxed out. Link to post Share on other sites
