Lost interest when UBISOFT fired game developer Michel Ancel.
Yes, this series has never been marketed in my country ...

Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Evil Within were really great games and would have helped enrich the Xbox lineup.
There has always been a lack of Japanese games on the Xbox and I have enjoyed their unique games.
In addition to Tango Gameworks, ZeniMax Asia was also shut down. They were translating Bethesda Softworks games into Japanese. If the quality of the localization is compromised, this is also a problem. (If they merge with Xbox's terrible Japanese translation team, that's not a problem...)
I wish Microsoft would create a game studio in Japan on the level of Tango Gameworks.

Personally, I think it sounds fun, but as a Japanese, it's complicated.

Many of the buildings, equipment, and all other aspects do not match the history of Japan.
There are no documents that can definitively state that Yasuke was also a samurai
I hope you will make it clear at the launch that the work is not based on proper historical facts

@Banjo- Haha, thanks.
I am Japanese and live in Japan.

I'm here.
As you can see from the inclusion of Wizardry, the Japanese fans of Xbox seem to be of an older age group.

It's much better now. Yeah, 343 Industries games don't get decent until about 2 years after release. And in the meantime, none of the online players will be around. It's always the same.

They scaled down significantly from what was previously announced and tried to sell at a higher price. Why do they think people will buy that content?

Too many campaigns are only in the US.
Does Microsoft really intend to sell games worldwide?

The translated version of this game is like a machine translation. It doesn't make sense.

Valiant Hearts is a game that was never released for the Xbox in Japan. Yes, even now. It was a game I wanted to play very much.

I am playing on Wi-FI6 and the image is disturbed by the screen transitions with heavy movement. Also, when playing FPS, I sometimes feel a large input delay.
I appreciate that this technology is still in its infancy.

I really enjoyed Kinect.
I still have my Xbox One and Xbox 360 connected to my TV just for Kinect.

I loved UBISOFT in the early days of Xbox 360. It was ambitious and violent. Lately it seems to have lost its fangs and is more interested in politics than a fascinating worldview.　

I want to build my library on Xbox. But there are many games for Xbox for which Japanese does not exist.
Phil, it would be great if you could translate some of the classics like Pillars of Eternity, Diablo 3, Baldur's Gate 3, etc. into Japanese on Xbox.

Pure question, do these elements fit the Halo worldview? I would like the immersive experience to be important.

I hope in 10 years it will not be the same as 343 Industries.

The results were exactly what I expected.
Yes, I am not satisfied. But let's hope it doesn't get worse.

This world is too beautiful...
I wanted more depictions of bad people, cults, poverty, discrimination, etc. I thought those aspects contributed to reality in Skyrim and Fallout.

The Japanese Xbox and PlayStation have been left for years with their mod stores destroyed.
Skyrim fixed this with an anniversary update that was released a year after its release in the US.
I hope they fix Fallout 4 too.

@ZYDIO Really cold. This is the reason why Xbox is not selling well in Japan, and I hope Xbox will improve.

Again, not sold in Japan Stores. Will the day come when Xbox games will be sold in Japan?

I hate that some gamers are making mods, creating data stolen from other games. These people also generate revenue from Patreon and other sources. I hope this will not become a platform for such pirates to profit.

Rare says that three development teams were matched during the 64 era. There should also be a team to create a classic IP.

Microsoft is clearly weak in the Japanese game. If they buy Sega and let Sega take the initiative, I am in favor of a takeover.
If Sega's game lineup is included in Game Pass, it will make up for what the Xbox lacks.

The Japanese translation of Alan Wake 1 was excellent. It was dubbed by professional voice actors and every detail was translated properly. Even the bonus book was translated in great detail. I love those days of Microsoft Japan.
Yeah, now I have to thank them for just translating the characters in a funny way.

@ParsnipHero Thank you. Xbox in Japan is recovering, but as far as Halo is concerned, its popularity remains down, and I pray for the day when online play will be as comfortable as it was with Halo Reach for Xbox 360.

Since Xbox One, there is no proper Halo matching in Japan. Very slow matchmaking times make it hard to play even if you like the gameplay.

The great thing about Gears of War was the brotherhood. It's been that way since Gears of War 4. Yeah, it's something that no big American company today can make.

What happened to Conker and Battletoads as a result of lending them to other companies? Microsoft would not be able to control them well with their IP.

Viva Pinata, Dance Central, Banjo-Kazooie, I loved the casual games on Xbox 360, and I think there is still more to do on Xbox today.

I'm a big fan of the previous game, but if it has PlayStation exclusive content, I won't play it. Yeah, I haven't played Control either.

World's Edge should get them. Lately Microsoft seems to be all about co-development and not interested in nurturing developers.

Their spirit is great. But isn't there a lack of investment in Xbox in all regions except the US?
At least in Japan, Microsoft doesn't seem to be willing to do it.

This is not a problem because Xbox game packages are not sold at all in Japan! There's no such thing as an Xbox corner in game stores.

Store filtering is a desired feature. Until now, there was no way to know if your language was supported.
With the recent update, the filtering has been added and is better than ever. However, the database has not kept up with the registration, and more often than not, even if it is supported, it does not appear in the list.

I love Goldeneye. However, I rare play it because it does not include Japanese.　Yes, there is no Japanese in Rare Replay. Even though Rare games were popular in Japan. I think this is the reason why Xbox is not popular in Japan.

@TheSimulator He joined Halo again after Halo Infinite went down in flames, so he wasn't involved in Halo 4, Halo 5 or Halo Wars 2. Halo Infinite also joined after the postponement announcement.

I would like an option to disable smart delivery, and if I could save the Xbox One X version on USB, my problem would be solved.

I wish Rare would make a Halo spin-off once. They may not be good at serious FPS, but they could make a groove like the classic Halo campaign that I loved with a sense of humor.

May their games be translated someday. Psychonauts 1 and 2 are not available in Japanese.

@NEStalgia
Last year's top 10 video game sales in Japan included games other than Pokémon.

1 - Pokemon Scarlet Violet
2 - Splatoon 3
3 - Pokemon Legends Arceus
4 - Kirby and the forgotten Land
5 - Nintendo Switch Sports
6 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7 - Minecraft
8 - Mrio Party Super Stars
9 - Smash Bros Ultimate
10 - Elden Ring

Interestingly, Microsoft Japan has higher sales than Sony Interactive Entertainment. This is almost entirely due to sales of the Switch version of Minecraft.

Advertising in Japan equals zero. Yes, 90% of game stores do not have an Xbox section. (There may be a used Xbox 360 section)
Can it be reduced any further?

Halo Wars 2 was abandoned along with serious bugs and unimplemented maps.
I retired Halo Wars 2 with it.

Cannot play because it does not support Japanese.
Please, please support it.

I can't play because Japanese is not supported. I was looking forward to playing this very quirky game, but it's a shame.

Sonic Generations is the best to play now.
Adventure and Adventure 2 are also great, but the games are rough.
Sonic Unleashed is great for the daytime part. But most of the gameplay is painful.

In Japan, this title was released on Game Pass, then the Japanese language was removed as the domestic PS5 version was released a year later; after the PS5 version was released, Japanese updates were also available on Steam and Xbox.
This is a very unreasonable game title.

Considering that we have done almost nothing for the past year, it is a lot of updates no matter what.

343 Industries continues to be incompetent despite being given ample time and budget.
The top management should be changed. Now. How can Bonnie Ross continue to be in that position?
