#PSN Golden Week Sale

[idw-sonic-fan-blog]

Sonic Frontiers sold 3 million copies.

For comparison’s sake, Sonic 06 sold 800k, Sonic Unleashed sold under 2.5 million copies, Sonic Colors sold 2.1 million copies, and Sonic Generations sold 1.8 million copies. Sonic Lost World sold 700k and is one of the lowest selling main games in the Franchise and yet the Zeti are prominent in the comic. Sonic Forces sold a pitiful in its first week and we may never know exactly how much Sonic Forces actually sold(and it having 5 million plus on players on PSN+ is not any indication of a sale since it was free.) Yet somehow the comic takes place directly after Forces. Sonic Mania sold just over a million in case those hardcore Sonic classic fans want to open their mouths. While I’m at it, Sonic Adventure sold 1.3 million and SA2 sold 1.7 million. Sonic Rush sold 1.3 million and its sequel,which suffered after 06 tarnished Sonic’s reputation, sold 300k. The first Sonic game sold 15 million copies and before Retro fans start talking shit, note that is the only game in the franchise that sold that amount and it was in the golden age of gaming. You could sell a wet fart in an Nintendo cartridge and it would have made a million easy. Sonic 2? 6 million. Sonic 3? 1.03 million. Sonic and Knuckles? 1.3 million. Sonic CD? 1.5 million. Shadow the Hedgehog? 2 million. And Sonic Heroes and probably the biggest offender as to why Sonic Team stopped giving a shit about quality or effort and more about that Christmas grind? 3.41 million in 2 years.

Sonic Frontiers sold like gang busters in the couple of months it’s been out.

If you think Sage or any Frontiers elements won’t be referenced or be in the comic, you are bugging. Especially given that one of the main writers of the game writes for the comic. If that’s what is keeping you from saying IDW Sonic is on the same canon as the games and not what Iizuka says or what Flynn has stated several times, you are bugging. You are kidding yourselves if you think IDW can’t possibly put in those elements from the game in their comic.

If you don’t consider Tangle or Whisper to be game character in spite of them appearing in two mobile games that have been downloaded and played more than any Sonic game and have been created with the help of Sonic Team’s own character designer, fling yourself into the Nile River and cope and seethe. Tangle and Whisper have merchandise in the Sega Shop.

TailsTube shorts? Written by Flynn. That little Amy Rose Tarot Card set that is coming out soon? Written by Flynn with art created by one of the many IDW comic artists. This comic series has well over 50 issues including 4 different 4 part miniseries. It sold out in Japan! It’s consistently IDW’s top selling comic beating both the Transformers and Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. It has sold over 10,000 copies an issue in a world where comics aren’t widely recognized unless it’s in the Marvel or DC. What they said in the beginning about it being diverged from canon no longer applies. Shit changed. It’s a new goddamn world. IDW Sonic is the only medium that actually uses your beloved obscure characters like Silver and Blaze. Like Cream. I don’t know what Flynn has done to make you turn up your nose at him but get over it. And the days of Sega pimping out Sonic to whatever Western media content creator and not caring what they churn out are over. The only exception to this is the movie verse(and because Iizuka has explicitly said it’s in a different canon)and honestly I have a tougher time trying to grasp how Sonic Prime is canon than I am with IDW. But regardless, it’s a new day. You are in a renaissance of Sonic and for once Sega gives enough of a shit about lore to want to make it all gel together and avoiding SATAM or Sonic Underground or Sonic the Comic or Archie Sonic the Hedgehog. Get the fuck over it.

PSN - Golden week sale 2019 NA

The Golden Week sale is here and several otome titles are on 60% off on NA PSN store. Almost all of them are $15,99

As for EU, no otome for the Spring sale (PSN EU doesn’t have Golden week)

It lasts till May 7 2019. 

I only included the PS Vita games, but I think the PS4 versions are also on sale? I forgot to check!

As you can see, the games are all Code Realize games, both Psychedelica games, Collar x Malice, Bad Apple Wars, Norn9, Period Cube, and 7′sCarlet.

In other word: all the games except Hakuoki series, Amnesia Memories, London Detective Mysteria, and Sweet Fuse. 

[pixelatedlenses]

Sunday’s relaxation plan is already in place: I’m going to do some UV Resin molding. I really want to make myself a gemstone note stand out of pastel crystal shapes, and I just got in a new mold, and want to spend an hour or two just making stuff to relax.

[crackimagines]

VC3 ain't out in English while VC2 is a minor conflict set a few years later. VC1 is itself a minor conflict to the overall war that finally gets resolved at the end of VC4. Also, they're both really cheap on the PSN right now due to the Golden Week sale

Neat. I’ll put it on my to do list.

And bloody hell, that must’ve been one long ass war.

Well, unless the games took span in like a few years like the Clone Wars.

[megatownac]

Some of the animals are now talking about Spring Break, and asking me about Spring Break, and so on. It’s a bit strange.

I can’t prove it, but I’m about 99% sure that this is an attempt to translate the Japanese version’s characters talking about Golden Week, a string of national holidays in Japan that basically give everybody a week off. It’s a horrible time to visit if you’re a tourist, and a lot of businesses all but shut down for that week.

Even in my own life, it meant things like a big sale on the PSN store and Nintendo eShop, and a number of upcoming games I’ve been watching pointed out that releases were going to be pushed back because hey, guess what, ain’t nobody gonna work on this game for about a week.

And now the Animal Crossing characters are talking about Spring Break. So there we go.

[medakakurokami]

Oh hey so busy with school and shit so I aint been doing much but reblogging lately but hey, it's time to shill. So the Utawarerumono remake came out this week in Japan, and in celebration their games went on sale. Coincidentally, the Golden Week sale is happening in the NA PSN, and all of AquaPlus' titles are discounted. Both Utawarerumono games are $20 on Vita and $30 on PS4 right now with PS Plus (and like $24/$35 without PS Plus). So hey Go buy em

[queenofbraves]

The PSN Golden Week sale is live and Yakuza Kiwami is only $17 there is NO REASON not to buy this game it is sooooo good, other stuff on sale are the Tales of Beseria and Zestria games, Persona 5, NieR Automata, and Gundam VS which personally i think everyone should have so i have more people to play with, all 4 Danganronpa games, Gravity Rush, and Monster Hunter, 

[abyssalchronicles]

Tales of Zestiria & Tales of Berseria are both on sale as a part of the North America PSN Golden Week promo!

Golden Week sales across PSN ⊟

It’s Golden Week in Japan, which means... almost nothing outside of Japan. Except sales on PSN! Almost anything Japanese you’d want is on sale, from Suikoden 2 to, like, Senran Kagura.

Japan’s PSN is also loaded up with several pages of sales, including stuff like Koei Tecmo games, Classic Dungeon games, Fez, and (thanks to @sacaitlin for pointing it out to me) 500 yen ($5ish) Sega games. Don’t mind if I do pick up the Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, thank you. There’s even a 10% off code at the top of the sale page.
