How much of any of those games did he actually design? I like TOM the best and I use to love CV on location, but then I owned one and it just didn't hold my interest at home. Ultimately , I agree there are better options than jpop pins. I should note as others have mentioned, that they are absolutely beautiful games. The problem (IMO) is they just aren't as fun as most of the pins produced in that era.
Quoted from PinMonk:To sell really well as a remake, the originals have to be in the $8000-$10000+ range on the used market. Theatre of Magic is usually in the $6s for a nice one. TOTAN BARELY makes it in the high 7s and low 8s. Cirqus doesn't make it, stick in the mis 6s and low 7s. I just can't see CGC giving priority to ANY of these for a long time.
I use to think that would be the case, but you can't disregard the thrill someone might get for that NIB feeling and being the first to play a game. I know unboxing a game is a one time thrill, but I think some people would take a remake over an original for that very reason.
Plus the fact that hopefully, it should be years before you have any major issues.
Quoted from tommyp:Ha. This thread is great. With all the j poop hate, I either missed or didn't realize the deuche nozzle actually made some well liked games.
Who'da thunk?
I think the jury is still out on what he's done as far as his actual level of contributions to the games he gets credit for designing . As far as I can tell his only real skill is picking out other people's eye catching artwork and slapping it on a game.
Quoted from PinMonk:Unfortunately with JPop's designs the thrill is gone real fast because they're just too easy for even middling players. I can't see someone being thrilled spending $9000 for a JPOP LE remake for very long. I really can't see CGC doing any of them. The economics just won't work out for a long time, especially if another pin bust is coming (as it likely has to).
Normally, I would agree with you, but then I think about how many times people on here have been screwed by the prepaid purchase system. It makes you realize that emotional purchases will always prevail over common sense for a huge number of people.
