I just hope they stop with the self censoring bs to appease a non-existant prude western market (aka the modern audience).
I’m just here waiting for them to give me Ace Combat 8.
>According to the report, Bandai Namco’s video games sector saw net sales increase year-on-year by 22.3% to approximately $3.16 billion (initially forecast at $2.57 billion) and profit grow by 995% to $475 million (initially forecast at $208 million).
>Sales of console games were a particularly big contributor, as the report highlights the strong performance of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, as well as the new Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, which has sold over 5.4 million units worldwide. Console game sales were up by 42.6% compared to the previous fiscal year, showing significant growth.
And now they start selling skins in fromsoft games 🙁
Edit: apparently bandai is only the publisher outside of Asia. Sorry for getting that wrong.
The tarnished edition upgrade will be a digital purchase for the other platforms according to the press release. No price has yet announced.
That’s great. New Tales game, when?
Shame they killed Blue Protocol. I was having fun in that game.
Remake Pac-Man world 2 lmao
Freedom Wars 2,God Eater 4, Code Vein 2, etc. Waiting on them Bamco.
Can’t wait for some business suit to call next year a failure because they can’t match nearly 1000 percent growth
See? “but inflation”
Blue Protocol was so close to being good 🙁
I just want them to lose dragon ball as an ip, they are so wasting it
How about releasing all your games in English/Multi language? I have an R3 account and 99% of their games are Chinese.

– Companies with this kind of profit margin before raising the price of their games to $80 and laying off half their work force.
