THE LAST BIG PUSH TO GET IIDX GOLD IN THE US!

Postby DarkTetsuya » Thu May 03, 2007 12:10 am

It seems bemanistyle has posted links and info hoping to get arcades across the country to put in enough orders so that beatmania IIDX GOLD will go into mass production, and as I posted on the main page, its up to us bemani fans to get the word out, so check out the front page for details!

This is going to tank so hard.
You cannot market the niché and stay alive.

Far be it from me to be doom and gloom, and far be it from me to not be excited (believe me, that's not the case).
But one of two things is going to happen:

IIDX US will tank harder than HipHopMania.
IIDX US will fail spectacularly, because it's to weird for the noobies, and to castrated for the importers.
IIDX US will become like DDR US, and people will CONTINUE to import because the US songlists suck. For a game like IIDX, the songlist is much more important.

You cannot make one game that caters to the Japanese and American markets. Especially a MUSIC game.
And you cannot survive off stellar profits from one, and abysmal profits from the other.
(Well, maybe you can, but you won't. You'll cut off the poor performer.)


All I have to say is... I seriously hope people prove me wrong.
