It would be surprising to see Injustice gain any sort of following in Japan, seeing how MK has a very small fanbase (I play with all 6 players online regularly).

Wish I could play Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, though. Generations sucked.

At first Naruto sucks. I don't know why you're bringing up that crappy Twilight-anime in the same sentence with Mortal Kombat and Injustice (the DC universe).

Yeah, it's true that MK isn't the most beloved franchise in Japan, but then again - the game never had such a huge name behind it, to actually really consume the japanese player-base.
Will Injustice be able to do that? The japanese people are not that much into superheroes, so it's doubtful that it will become a very popular game there, but we will see - I'm pretty sure that even the japanese people like the Batman movies, the old Superman movies and that they're looking forward to the upcoming Superman movie. They already had their Marvel animes and stuff like that, so it really does look like they're more openminded to superheroes, than they were years ago.

The same applies for Europe. Not everyone over here is that much into superheroes, but the entire superhero-movie-boom changed things here, so we will see.

First of all, I wasn't talking about the anime, I was referring to the Naruto fighting games. I don't watch the anime. Second of all, I brought it up because it's in the listing of games being showcased.

Really? That sucks, I ended up skipping it since there was no story progression.
Hope Madara is playable in the new one, only good character left in the series. It's just so bad, but I can't stop, its like a car wreck.

I don't play the Naruto games for the story mode. I only play them for the fun button mashing versus mode with my Naruto nerd friend. Generations screwed that up by trying to make it more competitive by requiring counters/substitutions to use meter.

I could go on and on with what it did wrong, but the bottomline is that Generations sucked for versus mode. I'm sure it's great if you just want the story mode.

Oh I don't mean like I give a shit about the actual story mode. When I say progression I meant new characters that weren't in NS2.

Well the key is DC's fan base in Japan... Does anyone know if DC is big out there ?

Some titles are pretty big there like Batman and GL, but when it comes to other titles DC is pumping out like Dial H, I doubt they've even heard of them.

I doubt anyone who doesn't read comics has heard of Dial H for Hero.

I like how SF X T is on the list for PS Vita, hehe poor Capcom.

NRS has got this event on lockdown for fighting games. Nothing they will have will come close to Injustice.

IIRC, didn't the second game have some of the same glitches the first game did?

I'm not sure about glitches. Surprisingly, the Ninja Storm series seems pretty solid programming wise. I didn't dive into series like I do with MK, but I still played it quite a bit and didn't really notice any obvious programming farts.

All I know is they changed what made the game button mashing fun and turned it into some lolcompetitve nonsense that just turned the melee combat into a chore.

Not the UK. everyone loves superheroes over here.

SUPERHEROES FUCKING RULE!!! INJUSTICE WILL FUCKING RULE!! I WILL FUCKING RULE AT INJUSTICE!!!! THAT IS ALL!!

2000 AD has been going around for almost 40 years in Britain.
Not to mention that quite a lot of DC's writers are native to the UK.

 

[Playpal]

My guess is WB/NRS would have to make arcade cabinets of Injustice if they want the game to be big in Japan.

 

[GLoRToR]

Not interested. Patch mk plz.

 

[Killzone]

UK

Britain.

That's America 2

I have Germany and the countries around Germany in mind. Here everyone will look at you as if you were stupid, if you would ask them about Captain America. They do know Superman and Batman though.
