By the way, do you guys think if Snatcher does get a sequel that it would be released outside Japan? I suppose it depends on what type of game it is.

Like are probably like 60 Snatcher fans in the U.S. and they all post here
Nobody really knows Kojima's other series (besides ZOE, if you want to count it). It would TAKE a new major release of Snatcher for people to know anything the name, and even then who knows how it would sell?
I mean we got one version of the game on a platform no one had, and the Japanese at least got, what, three versions plus an RPG installment. Plus they got Policenauts, a pseudo sequel.
Depending on the platform it came out for, I bet Konami would now consider translating a NEW Snatcher.

I blame the commercial failure of Snatcher on Night Trap lol... It was just the wrong place at the wrong time. That being said, I'm not sure how the point and click interface would be recieved by console gamers in the west. It's stopped some great games from coming stateside (SNES Clock Tower for example).Ghaleon wrote:Like are probably like 60 Snatcher fans in the U.S. and they all post hereNobody really knows Kojima's other series (besides ZOE, if you want to count it).

I think adventure gaming is getting popular again, at least as a commercially viable niche.
Yeah, marketing + reviews from mainstream mags (GamePro's and EGM's) were weak. They sound like they played the game for about 15 minutes and decided it wasn't anything special.
And we all know that ad ... ugh. I had a SEGA CD too in junior high but didn't find out about what Snatcher is REALLY about until GameFan reviewed Policenauts, then I went and checked out their old Snatcher coverage.

Oooh, it's the blaming game! Lemme have a go.Osiris wrote:I blame it partly on the marketing. I had a Sega CD back then and was a fan of that type of game, and even then I wasn't motivated enough to buy it (if only the reviews I read had been as enthusiastic as they should've been). I didn't play it until I saw it at a friend's house 2 years later.
Well I must say that friend of yours must have been a genius for introducing you to the game. I only just recently found the game you see (coming up to a year ago now since I first played it), so I cannot really make a judgement about why the game sold so badly ,but from what I've heard it is really down to the reviews, I sure as hell know that I used to only play games for their reviews, since the only resource for knowing how good or bad a game was reading them. Now we have the internet, it is all different.
