Genius Sonority talks Denpa Men sales, future Wii U and 3DS support potential
A portion of a NE interview with Genius Sonority...
NE: Has one Denpa Men game greatly outperformed the other from a sales perspective? Or have you seen fairly comparable results between the original title and its sequel?
GS: The number of downloads in North America and Europe combined did not exceed the number of downloads in Japan. Considering this, I am reconsidering both the format of gameplay and the appearance of the characters.
NE: Genius Sonority has previously expressed some interest in working with the Wii U. Does that sentiment still stand today?
GS: Yes, to this day, we are still interested in working with the Wii U and our budding ideas have been growing. However, the cost of developing a game for the Wii U is much higher than the cost of developing a game for the 3DS. This is a problem for us and is thus preventing us from developing a game for the Wii U.
NE: Does Genius Sonority have any plans for the 3DS eShop outside of The Denpa Men? Would you like to create another original franchise for digital distribution?
GS: Although there are currently no concrete plans, we do have a few ideas with regards to this. We do hope to implement our ideas in the near future.
