Seriously. Japanese support is so bad that over the last four years we’ll have received at least two series’ full, or close to full, catalogs that had previously been (checks notes) exclusive to Playstation for nearly 20 years. Yakuza and Persona for the unaware.

Now that I think about it, there are games that are only on Switch and Steam. Will people complain about those?

I always amazed when people start the outcry if some small niche game skips Xbox and they suddenly proclaim that Xbox went back to Xbox One era

For real, like, I agree thate theres still work to be done but…come on!! How do you expect me to take seriously anyone who claims nothing has impproved since the xbox one era in the japanese market.

Really really hate the stupid hyperbole some come in regards to anything related to xbox.

I do curious about the future because so far a lot of games skipping Xbox, are the games that also come to PS4. I think PS4 does a lot of heavy lifting for Playstation support in Japan. I wonder if due to COVID a lot of those games were delayed.

Good point, will be interesting to see if things will change when ps4 is out of the equation in the japanese market. That console is still carryng SONY there.

Will japanese pubs start supporting switch 2/drake more? Time will tell.

I think that some of the next gen games will come out on Switch 2 if it is strong enough. If Switch 2 sells in huge amounts.

But see this - Microsoft buys Capcom, but then random JRPGs or Trails game skips Xbox and people complain again that Xbox is not committed enough in Japan

The extreme mood shifts some people have in the gaming community is wild

… was pretty much the norm also back in the OG Xbox to be honest. There have been great strides from Phil and the rest of the team to bring more and more quality Japanese games on Xbox and that is a fact, things can only get better in the future because the Series consoles are products that are appealing and both systems sell really really well thus far. Personally I would focus more on what we are getting than what we are not getting but that’s just me, hopefully the Xbox community will support Soul Hackers 2, Wo Long and the Persona games (either by buying them or playing them via GP). As Nick already said many times if you want more Japanese games on Xbox then show it with your support. It is a bummer that the new Mega Man collection isn’t coming on Xbox but it is not the end of the world.

Only thing that worries me is if Capcom announces "Breath of Fire collection " and it skips Xbox. 90’s Capcom has a lot of gems that are either stuck in arcades or handhelds that could be released on current gen consoles. Im playing a lot or Warzard in the Capcom fighting collection now. Took this game 30 years to finally get to console, i would’ve been super pissed if this collection skipped the Xbox.

[Staffy]

Personally I do not care at all about those Mega Man games, only the real mainline Mega Man games. But it’s unfortunate for those that wanted it.

A bit surprising too, the last MM game a few years back did come to Xbox.

Yeah, agreed. Definitely buying Soul Hackers 2, and I’ll play Persona on Game Pass. I’ve bought a ton of Japanese games that interest me and have hit Xbox.

@DARK-PARADISE

…So it’s normal for 3rd party to write for Xbox Wire? I thought only official Xbox people could write these, hmm

Yes, plenty of third parties have done stuff on Xbox Wire.

@TheBrightestSun

Discussions surrounding Megaman collection skipping Xbox went off rails. Now some people that believe Dragon’s Dogma 2 will skip Xbox due to that…And some people believe that japanese support is still as bad as Xbox One When over 3-4 years we literally got a lot of games that skipped Xbox the whole gen and continuations launch Day 1 too.

I still think that Microsoft’s main problem in Japan is the lack of legitimacy. I believe only an acquisition can fix that.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is definitely not skipping Xbox lol. Capcom is pretty reliable for the most part, they can just be weird with their “niche” ports (though I wouldn’t really call Megaman niche…).

[Shadowgasm]

I would wager that most people didn’t even know what Mega Man Battle Network was until today. I’d also wager that most people are somehow confusing this with Megaman proper, which is unfortunate.

@Joe_Sinister1

This would suck for me honestly. I’m not expecting it to come to Xbox if announced, but I would definitely buy it in a heartbeat.

[Doncabesa (Jesse Norris)]

We’re big enough for Square Enix, boys! Code is in for Outriders: Worldslayer so that’s my focus to try and get a review done asap. Might stream it when I can.

Depends if DD2 is a modern console exclusive though…

Yeah, my hatred for it wasting my time is growing and growing and growing.Boss fights are a lot of fun, but boy do I hate all the backtracking and long runs due to the lack of checkpoints and fast travel being so restricted.
