I wonder what it cost them to make the game. It made back 17M in that week.

fonger082211d ago

I would estimate they made about half of that amount after distribution fees/retailer fees. But I can’t imagine the budget for this game was extraordinary, I’m sure it will make plenty of money given the PS4 install base.

Ni No Kiddy 2. It’s a game for babies.

@mikeslemonade i will agree ...the game is far too simple and handholding, to the point that of boredome and annoyance

If you fight the level 80+ bounty monsters, I bet you'd cry like a baby at least once or twice. :D

DarXyde2211d ago

Not for the developers and publishers it didn't. That would require retail outlets to sell at cost $60/ piece.

Very possible they made out well with digital sales though.

Jinger2210d ago

You know they don't get the entire $60 back, right?

JRPGs are becoming very successful. This is only good news. Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Persona 5, Nier and now this. Keep buying it people. This game deserves to be a hit

porkChop2211d ago

Yeah we've been getting some really great JRPGs recently. I'm glad they're selling well.

michellelynn09762211d ago

Me too. It will show devs and publishers that we want these games and they will pour more resources into making them.

execution172211d ago

I still have to pick this up

Discobastrd2210d ago

Did you play the first one? It's no way near as good. I was disappointed unfortunately. The first was incredible and the high scores this got baffle me. Real shame. 7/10 at best for me

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing146d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff2183146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing145d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel1989145d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein145d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq145d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff2183146d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons145d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff2183145d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel1989145d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno145d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
