Definitely. I think Ni No Kuni sets a good example that this stuff can still be profitable. I like western RPGs as much as the next guy, but we need more of this stuff too.
It's unfortunate that it didn't sell well in Japan, because I think everyone should play it at least once. I gave it a 92/100 on canadianonlinegamers.com

I'm pretty proud of this one ;) Such a great game.

You're the one taking my statement out of context as I never accused you of being wrong. You generalized by saying that all bad scores are given by young people who don't appreciate the series, even though I myself am 29 and played a ton of Double Dragon as a kid...yet gave it a bad score (hence why I posted my score). That's what I'm calling nonsense, your lack of proof and general assumptions.
Also, paying tribute to an old favorite doesn't excuse poor...
It's not that great.
That's nonsense. I played all the double dragons on NES, the arcade, the master system, etc...and I still didn't like the game. It controls really poorly and can't compete with the polished mechanics of a modern brawler. I gave it a 67/100 on CanadianOnlineGamers.com
A review isn't automatically wrong just because you assume that all the low scores are from young people.
Thanks bud, I'm glad you like the review and I'm certain you'll enjoy the game.
Japan's hate for Xbox has nothing to do with the quality of the console or it's games. Their hate of things non-Japanese is almost a cultural thing. It's a miracle that somehow they sell iPhones down there. I don't think they will ever accept the Xbox One unless it made them breakfast in bed and gave them a blowjob afterwards :P
