Did sign sell poorly?

It could have been better. First week sales of -SIGN- in Japan were 27,278 units for the PS3 and 12,638 units for PS4 (Source: http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141210067/)

The reason for the low amount of first week sales are likely because SSB4 for WiiU was released in the same week. Cannot say anything about lifetime sales since Media Create Sales only lists top 20 software sales.

[Zouf]

I don't think SSB has anything to do with this.

It's just a niche game for a niche genre. Nothing more, nothing else.

I can't believe ASW expected more.

Jeez Ky, atleast try to look a little manlier.

[The Badgerine]

Haha, Ky with dat Jojo pose.

[Jocelot]

Even Sol is looking softer on the cover. He's glowing like a little girl taking her yearbook photo. Adorable

XrdR will also feature in next week's Famitsu, as stated at the end of this week's article. 先号（５月２６日発売号）は、発売記念特集をお届け！

This week's was a pre-release special feature, next week's is a release celebration special feature.

Apart from the 4 page interview, nothing this week was new. Good news is that it was a summary of ALL the old stuff from the leadup to release, so next week's feature should be new things.

My brain translated this to: Dizzy reveal.

[White Man]

New GG merch? I'm assuming these are preorder bonuses.

I don't even know what this is, but holy shit is that design badass.

[Tokkan]

No, those are things you can buy at a launch party for XrdR that will be running from 11am to 8pm at Sofmap Akihabara on release day. You can also get Ishiwatari's signature at the event but it requires you to have purchased XrdR from Sofmap and that you have your receipt with you.

[White Man]

Oh wow, that's pretty cool. Thanks for clarifying.

[SoWL]

For the record, that Johnny design is for a mobile phone pouch.

[Kitsoru]

The Johnny pouch is actually old merch from last TGS (I think, one of the events they were at in the past year). You can also buy it off of Arc's webshop with a shopping service: http://store.broccoli.co.jp/ec/pro/disp/9/0400000143132

Anyway, no one happens to have translated the interview from Famitsu yet, by any chance?

Looks like the automatic download on PS4 will start today.

Yeah, most(all?) PSN preloads starts two days before release, so it will likely be live when the countdown is exactly 2 days left.

edit: Since it's now Tuesday in Japan, the preload has begun.

Just because of what you just posted, I'd be honored if you were to become mai waifu.
I'M FANBOYING SO F***ING HARD RIGHT NAO!

[NeoStrayCat]

Better look/view at/of Dizzy! X3

[ChexGuy]

man they won't even show the character select art lol

[Layer]

I hope she has funny Necro and Undine banter for her taunts and win quotes.

[ChaseRLewis]

Found a glitch with Johnny. He has invulnerability in his crouching to standing animation. This lets him do OS's that basically guarantee throw/block on defense against safe jumps. Blows them up for free. Super easy, just basically do QCB+HS. 

 

[TheRealBobMan]

That first part looks like the bug where you can ground throw characters that are airborne.  Since ground throw is instant, you can reversal throw with it, so with the bug extending that to airthrows, you can also beat safe jumps. 

 

[Zedar90]

Arc have put up a Q&A for GGXrdR, one thing I saw in it is that the japanese version will only have Japanese text and voices, no support for other languages.

[kosmos badgirl]

And no plans to add more languages in the future either, weird decision.
