The price has to be a joke

[Azerate]

A remake of a NES game...

Come on bro.

Barely anyone will buy this and then they will assume that people just don't want to play these games. Wrong. Just don't ask a full AAA game price for a 40 year old nes jrpg.

It's actually a tremendously high number for a single player JRPG. It's the #6 most played single player JRPG of all time on Steam, in fact.

So you think Dragon Age the Veilgurad is a successful RPG as well going by this logic.

Numbers don't lie.

Going by sales figures and concurrent player numbers? Yeah, seems it is actually. Which is honestly a bit of a genuine surprise to me.

EDIT: That said, it was also much, MUCH more expensive to develop and had a longer development cycle as well, so the targets it needs to hit to be profitable are likely much higher. And, past that, the JRPG genre is a much more niche market, so the numbers you'd expect to see are going to be wildly different.

Why would they discount something that's still selling well at its current price and is being thoroughly enjoyed by its current player base? It's still got a nearly 18k player 24 hour concurrent peak despite having released two weeks ago, which is much better player retention than pretty much any single player JRPG out there.

That's a small number for a supposed 'popular' game.

The bulk of the sales is in Japan, on Switch.

Still less than a million which is bad

Persona 5 says this is not true.

Why do you keep bringing up games that have nothing to do with this discussion? It's feeling an awful lot like you just don't have a fact based argument.

Alas, it looks like DQ10's PC version, neither the prior MMO version or the later offline version, ever got releases outside of Japan.

Not true I am in east Asia, though from USA. And not in Japan. Its buyable in a some countries, regions now.

While not localized. They nowvh as ve sn online and offline English patches. And somebody even made a launcher for deck.

Oh, my mistake here, I was looking at the release region for the MMO version. The offline version was Japan and the south-east Asia region. It isn't available outside those regions though. My mistake!
