And thats remains true ITTL, but next gen you'll see more Final Fantasy.
Reminder that while FF XI was released on X-Box 360 OTL, friend codes were the reason FF XI wasn't on Wii.
I doubt it, DQX didn't need friendcode at all either and was a hit on wii too, so that was just square side excuses like always, at least enix is honest

That was at least the reason/excuse Square Enix gave. https://www.engadget.com/2007/02/01/square-enix-blames-wii-friend-codes-for-lack-of-ffxi/
Also worth noting that despite poor sales in Japan the X-Box 360 got Final Fantasy XIII and FF XV is on the X-Box One. Only FF XIV was Sony Exclusive.
As always cheap excuses plus that is nothing of value was loss, specially with PSO on a nintendo console now.
MS did pay for FFXIII and XV was mostly the overcost of the game, they need all platform to sold who can run the luminous engine who was a disaster.
Again just a reminder never get hyped with square at all,at least Enix is far better
Agreed. The last square title that lived up to its hype before the dark years was kingdom hearts 2.
And was done in time, seriously Nomura is awful at managment at times in that regard
Playing Jet Set Radio, hope that series got a second chance in GC even if back to hibernation as OTL, a shame the wii game never happened OTL
Other SEGA series ended up in nothing would be Shinobi Revival too, here could get a chance to be the DMC-NG of the gamecube
I hope so too, but at the same time Sega AM1 is in the same position it is in OTL: They have so many projects far along in development just for this year alone.
Skies of Arcadia Legends ( Came out in December after 2 seperate delays and the cancellation of a PS2 port.)
The House of the Dead III (Otl Arcade Release was in June with a port to the Xbox in October)
Sega GT 2002 (October for the Xbox with an update for online play coming out in 2003.)
Sakura Wars 4 (Came out for the Dreamcast in March but for Japan only but an international release of the collection could still happen in the future.)
I can't see any of these titles being cancelled or postponed for Shinobi when they were all too far along in development. Just gonna have to swing for the fences and hopefully dial it back a bit for 2004 onward.
Overworks/AM1 was already working on the game a little before the merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobi_(2002_video_game)#Development but of course butterflies would make change things but that can help the game a lot, giving extra development time to polish the graphics and expand the game if considered needed, that can help the sequel Kunoichi/Nightshade too but is up the air, for me if the game is delayed to 2003 to improved it would be nice and Kunoichi would be 2005 them. Still depends what @Gaminguy010 would do.
The game would be butterfly away, but again was Hiroi idea of being the dreamcast swan song game...depends... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_Wars_4:_Fall_in_Love,_Maidens#Development
Jet Set Radio Future was released on the GameCube in Feb around the same time at it did on the X-Box IOTL. The Wii game was a pitch from an outside company that probably stays the same as OTL. But still Sega will not ignore it's other IPs ITTL.
Admittedly I'm not sure what to do with Shinobi. I was planning to make Altered Beast the GameCube's DMC Clone.
As for Sakura Wars 4, it did get released on the Dreamcast on March 14. I was just an idiot and forgot to include it in the games list for spring 2002. I caught this mistake a few weeks ago but figured I'd fix it when I updated. But now that you guys mentioned it I'll fix it now.
I was toying with the idea of a Sakura Wars Collection for the GameCube, but I didn't want a collection to leech sales off the 2003 remake. A Sakura Wars Collection will get released on the series' tenth anniversary (Sept 2006) but it will be Japan only.
I have worked on E3 2002, but I've been troubled with writers block though. I also got distracted one night with writing for the Melee chapter. Here's a little preview of a certain witch commenting on Melee's Roster while rhyming in a pinch.
Who the heck are you I dare to say? Back in Japan is where you should stay!
Banjo you can have your precious sister back! Compared to this gorgeous princess she’s just a hack!
Look a worthless yellow rat so frail and small, but you know what they say “Gotta Catch em All!”
It's Sonic the Hedgehog, what a fast pace! Too bad the Genesis only came in second place!
This fancy sword boy is red, oh how I hiss. These smash fighters are getting harder to diss.
Nobodies like you put a real knot in my knickers. To beat me you’ll need more than rock, paper, scissors.
This Pokemon is just a baby, have you no shame bear? Grunty thinks this electric rat should go back to daycare!
Oh you stupid Ice Climbers, your game is an antique! I bet you losers couldn't even climb Freezeezy Peak!
I got some surprises for E3. In the meantime say hi to the new President of Nintendo of America.
Make sense being japan only but a shame if others game are not localize at all...
Could be Worse...
Thanks for the info buddy
A little confession...i never hear about this game at all before i started to research for P2S...back in 2012..that game flyed over everyone radar...at least i knew about shinobi.
I wouldn't worry about Sakura Wars being a Japan only series. I'll probably spill my guts about my plans for the series once E3 2002 is uploaded.
At least it ain't Bernie Stolar! Plus this is another case of me screwing over Microsoft. Since he was their vice president starting in 2003. Also last E3 was a little boring to write. I've had plenty of fun writing dialogue for the guy who tattooed Halo 2's Release Date on his arm. He'll step down when Reggie's body is ready.
Maybe it's for the best. We all know Nintendo has their collection of forgotten IPs. Remember Doshin the Giant?
Let's wait and see, with Tactics Ogre death, that is the closest a SRPG for a nintendo home console.
Excatly but yeah Moore is competent enough, wonder which release date will he tatoo here...
Yes because Club Nintendo Promoted it a lot and was a europe only release and that was like what...yeah and Doshin was one those abandoned N64 games. But Seriously Ask People about Altered Beast Revival..no one know about it, seriously the game just come, underperfmoed and leave...that was like what? Seems people like Ninjas more
Hey @Gaminguy010, speaking of dead franchises, is there any chance that any of the hardware companies could convince Konami to make another Rocket Knight Adventures this generation?
I could See MS who needs games, specially family friendly ones asking for it(and goemon too), maybe with Nintendo... other thing would Nintendo work with Hudson Soft to avoid get killed by Konami
Probably not a new game this gen, but you have given me inspiration.
The Sonic Mega Collection is now The Genesis Mega Collection. Sega released a number of these compilation games but TLL will combine them all into two games. First one focuses on the Genesis, second one will be the other Sega systems such as Master System, Game Gear, Saturn and Arcade. (Though I might give Game Gear it's own collection on the DS.)
You can get a lot milleage of the old legacy titles and just in tie the famicom/nes series was a hit in GBA, the same with the virtual console. Maybe here they could push to get Saturn Emulation possible?
By sheer Butterfly effect is gone. Not need to rush the game or they could have all the time knowing to which console would be developt so the 15th anniversary titles would not be rushed into a mess.
