I wonder how much the Steam Deck’s success has helped sales of some of these games.
Japanese people love their handhelds. I suspect it had a bigger impact than others think.
It should be minimal. I think it’s more about the broad appeal, focused marketing, and the good quality of the releases. You got Persona on Xbox, that’s brings people in.
I’m eager to check the calendar of Japanese games for this year.i don’t know if they blow up all cartridges in January or there is more to come.
I think it helps that theyre finally bringing high profile games to PC while the tide is still high, as opposed to trickling out a single game here and there.
Can’t vouch for performance or technical stuff on PC, but I was checking out Lost Judgment on PS+ after hearing a lot about the Yakuza series and I’m loving it. It’s kinda like Shenmue, but with real, good combat and not QTEs. Or a Japanese GTA with all the extra side stuff you can do as you wander around the neighborhoods the game takes place in. I definitely want to check out the others in the series now.
Infinite looks just as good, but I am probably going to go backwards because I am not sure if I would like the new turn based combat system. I like the more Sifu-ish combat.
