Jairus and I talk about the Nintendo Direct, physical vs digital game sales, and remaking classic Disney movies!
*note this is not a real GTM deck for Devil May Cry or Capcom. This is created purely as an example of strategic thinking. Any similarities to upcoming games are purely concidence
The Devil May Cry franchise has become one of biggest hallmark. With the popularity of the new Devil May Cry Netflix show and the massive success of Devil May Cry 5 (over 10 million units sold) means fans are very invested in the series. With the original game being a PS2 title, a remake 3 generations later would appeal to newer and older fans of Devil May Cry. source: https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e250613.html
Devil May Cry is one of the original character action games (Bayonetta, Nier Automata, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence). There were many weapons, fun bosses, fun gameplay, and interesting character designs. The combo style systems have become more popular than ever. In addition, the world and level layouts are similar to Resident Evil which is a popular franchise. The Story is easy to understand and introduces Dante and Trish to players although the personality traits become more defined in later titles.
| Devil May Cry Fans | Action Player Fans | Fans of the Show | |
| Psychographic | – Fans want a new DMC experience – DMC 1 is an old game and would like a modern version of the game – More DMC games | -People want a more active game that requires more focus but wants a single player experience – More skill combat type of game where they can express themselves | – Fans want to experience the games after watching the show – Playing a modern version of DMC1 with an easier experience than the PS2 original |
| Demographic | – Millennials and Boomers who started the franchise from the PS2 era – Male: 80% Females: 20% | – Primarily male demographic | – Male and female fans of the show |
| Behavioral | – highly engaged with video games – Buys merchandise or similar games to DMC – Most likely X and YouTube | – highly engaged with video games – Most likely X and YouTube – More likely to share their content with others | – likely to game once a week – Listens to metal music – More often using Instagram and Tiktok |
| Comp Titles | – Monster Hunter – Final Fantasy – Dark Souls | – Street Fighter – Guilty Gear – Sekiro – Elden Ring | – ZZZ |
The fixed camera angles should be fixed for a more free movement camera similar to Devil May Cry 5 and 4. Players would often have difficulties fighting enemies when the perspective would change suddenly. We can also increase the weapon changing speed. The Devil Trigger form can also be added into the original game as it was not the same color scheme but rather weapon based. With the story more defined later, it can add more clearer connections to later series.
THANK YOU!
Remember when the Holiday Season were the big video game releases? In 2025, PlayStation had Ghost of Yotei, Nintendo had Kirby Air Riders, and Xbox had Outer Wilds 2. But the biggest releases just started coming out like Resident Evil 9, Pokepokia, and Marathon are coming out in February and March. Many company based sales like Ubisoft, Capcom, and Square-Enix also seem to occur in February and March. What happened to the big Holiday sales releases and sales?
For some game companies, their year ends in the beginning of April, not December. This is called the fiscal year in business and businesses need to make their financial goals by the end of year to appease devils, I mean shareholders. With the end of their year, game companies tend to release their biggest products at the end of the year. In addition, people receive money during the holiday season and companies are banking on users saving it and spending it on the AAA titles releasing in the beginning of the year.
For gaming companies who are lacking major AAA releases of the year, they reach out to PlayStation, Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo to set up specific sales exclusively for their titles. The hope is gamers who are interested in their company games will come to their exclusive sale store front and buy as many games as possible. With no competitors in their exclusive slot, they secure bigger sale revenue and unit numbers.
RIOT is one of the biggest game companies around despite realistically only launching a few successful games that keeps everything on: League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and Valorant. Their patch timeline is incredibly fast for League of Legends. The game is updated every 2-3 weeks with new character balances, item changes and overall mechanics. It’s no wonder the game is still being so heavily played with so many small changes each month. However, fighting games are very different and can RIOT’s new fighting game, 2XKO survive with it’s fast changes?
According to their recent blog post, 2XKO will receive balance patches every 5 weeks alongside new content once it officially launches in 2026. This means the game could change drastically every 1.5 months, especially with a small roster of 11. These changes could range from bug fixes to nerf and buffs which could greatly change how players adapt and get use to their characters. 5 weeks is quite short, especially with modern fighters like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and City of the Wolves balancing their game every half to full year. Some of the most popular fighting games ever never even received a balance patch, like Street Fighter 3rd Strike, Super Smash Bros Melee, and Tekken 3. Players just had to deal with whatever the game had.
It will be interesting to see how players adapt or enjoy such quick turn arounds. Quick patches can prevent players from learning weakness or strengths with certain characters. Sometimes it takes time for players to learn, especially in fighting games. Will quick patches attract players, or will these patches end up hurting the 2XKO? RIOT can be cuthroat at cutting their games that aren’t bringing enough money like Legends of Runeterra and their Riot Forge titles. Fighting games tend to be niche as well so RIOT will need to hope the fast changes don’t turn people away. 2XKO is currently in Beta and currently available to download https://2xko.riotgames.com/en-us/
It’s another year of The Game Awards hosted by the host, Geoff Keighley, to see who will receive awards voted by gamers across the world. The Game Awards has always been a great fan voted show but for gaming companies, it’s a great time for sales and marketing. Every company hopes their games are nominated in some sort of fashion; not for clout or prestige, but rather the influence it has on gamers to purchase their titles. With over 10 million viewers and growing each year, The Game Awards are a chance for bigger sales, especially so close to the end of the quarter.
If you notice on the Gaming Consoles and PC, you’ll notice The Game Award Sales now. Companies are happy to set their title on sale to align with their nomination. If anything, these nominations help viewers know what game is actually “good” and worth spending their hard earned money on. Obviously, opinions will differ from person to person but to the gaming companies, they are just happy to earn a thousands of dollars.
For the gamers/viewers, The Game Awards are a good chance to speak their opinions and nominate their own personal GOTY. Even open discussions on social media like X, Facebook, Reddit or whatever is great because it allows people to discuss their feelings and what may have ignored or their overall excitement and hope that their favorite may win. Developers like Kzutaka Kodaka, saw the amount of discussion regarding his title: The Hundred Line, and how people felt it should have been nominated. Their happiness of the discussion is always nice and while their titles may not have been nominated, the amount of discussion can lead to more sales for games.
While some will criticize The Game Awards for just being a trailer push for Developers and awards that “don’t matter,” it’s one of the biggest sale times for Game companies and every one of them are hoping you spend your dollars on them.
