Really, how hard is it to release Monster Rancher for iPhone? Do you not like money?

Well this explains the existence Paradise at least.

"Quick, we're losing money like mad! We need something that will sell like hotcakes... hot cakes... cakes... pans of cakes... pan cakes... pancakes.... I've got it!"

Tecmo is done. They seem to have a complete disregard for any financial realities. Ninja Gaiden 2 out sells the later improved version with more content on the PS3. So to follow it up, they bring out downloadable content for the PS3 version. They chose the smaller customer base because the obviously have an adversion to money. The DOA: paradise has a history of 2 games on the Xbox so the smart move is to make the next one a PS3 version? Not sure what this company is thinking, but it obviously not money.

DOA Paradise is a PSP title. It's also a port of the first DOAX, apparently.

They really need to hire another person who can display independent thought, and FAST. A real rulebreaker, someone who's willing to think outside the box and do unconventional things like wear a leather jacket and shades all the time, everywhere. At midnight, in Hawaii, in the shower.

This one they're blaming on Wii, too, though with better cause than others. They put a lot into Samurai Warrior 3, and though they got good returns for a Japanese game (to the tune of 300k), it apparently wasn't enough to cover what they put into it

Though 300k is about what you can expect from a Musuo game anymore. Like other Japanese franchises, it's sales capacity has declined.

True, they could optimize that investment by following their saturation strategy, and have two more Wii games out the door before 2010 ends...
