To the delight of Nintendo and fans alike, Twilight Princess, the newest addition to the popular Zelda franchise, has sold over two million copies to date. Ocarnia of Time, the most popular Zelda game to date, has sold seven million copies, while Twilight Princess’ predecessor, Wind Waker sold three million copies. Analysts predict TP to be somewhere in between these two games.

Famitsu held a poll regarding the DS exclusive Dragon Quest IX (which also features real time combat) to get a little feedback from readers and retailers alike. The questions they asked were the following:
[b]Are you happy that Dragon Quest IX will be coming to the DS?[/b]
Yes – 40.3% (47.5%)
No – 46% (20%)
Neither – 5.2% (22.5%)
Don’t know – 8.5% (10%)
[b]Are you happy of the changes made in combat?[/b]
Yes – 19.4% (15%)
No – 53.9% (40%)
Neither – 6.8% (12.5%)
Don’t know – 19.9% (32.4%)
[i]The numbers in parentheses are the percentages of retailers.[/i]
Seeing these numbers, could and will Square-Enix change anything? After all, Japan is their biggest market for Dragon Quest, and if it fails there it who knows how it will do in North America or Europe.
Though the Japanese don’t sound all that excited now, I certainly won’t be surprised if people will be murdering each other in line to get their copy of the game on launch day…

Composer and producer of the Silent Hill franchise, Akira Yamaoka, has revealed that Silent Hill 5 will be coming for the PS3, but also stated that the Xbox 360 and PC are also likely to get their share of Silent Hill 5.
What do we know about the game so far? It’s supposed to be like the second one, to the delight of many fans. Yamaoka said that darkness is not the only thing that can strike fear in gamers, and the developers are trying to figure out ways to have sun light areas in the game that are equally scary as the dark parts (doesn’t that sound a lot like Resident Evil 5?)
