XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

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

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 :joy:

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.

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.

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

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 ā€œnicheā€ ports (though I wouldn’t really call Megaman niche…).

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.

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.

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.

Is it growing on you?

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.
