@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?

This game is only available in Japan on Nintendo Switch and PS4, with the Japanese language removed on Xbox and PC.

This is not "Everyone".
It is restricted to the Asian region, so Japanese players like me cannot play.

I would love to be able to select the Xbox One X version for my Smart Delivery compatible titles, being able to boot right off my USB HDD would be great.

Xbox clearly lacks these family games. They should release more Banjo, Pinata, Crash Bandicoot, etc.

Overwatch has also removed the Japanese language from the Xbox version only. As long as this problem continues, it will be difficult for Xbox to become popular in Japan.

I wish Diablo on Xbox and PC would support Japanese.

I would like you to start the service in Asia as well, even if it costs a little more for shipping.

Really wanted to see a groundbreaking Xbox One Kinect game. They are clearly underrated.

Unless Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill are gone, Halo's current situation will not change.

His knowledge seems to stop in 2004.
If we are talking about the Japanese gaming industry, we should know that some Western games such as Apex Legends and OverWatch are growing in popularity.

There is nothing wrong with making alterations from the original work. It is a new show.
However, there are too many changes that make no sense and are not respectful.

Please someone save 343 Industries and Halo.

I think I should be able to choose a brute as well.

All 343 Industries executives should be fired. They are not doing a decent job while being given the right to have one of the most famous games at their disposal.

There are some great parts of Halo now, but I have to wonder if this is the extent of it, given the huge budget given to them.

I am interested in the Hero Shooter, even if it is an event.
I do not like the current Halo which is full of Spartans. I want to enjoy diverse aliens.

This game will not be released on Xbox in Japan.

I am so glad that Microsoft has turned its attention to Japan again.
The Xbox One was very miserable.

343 Industries does not appear to have good board members.

Halo Infinite was a good game at launch. But this is a case of continuous updates.

They claim to be a live game, yet we are forced to play a game that has remained largely the same since launch.

There are many things in this game that only the Japanese can understand. Therefore, a low metascore may not be a correct evaluation.
