Games like Mahjongg pay the bills. Shooters probably don't. Also, I remember them saying a while ago they had some target number of shooters per year (or per every 2 years) to release. I think with their spat of recent releases if you average it out they're going to hit that target even if they take a year off and do other games. Dunno what the number was. I think Valgar remembers the quote/source, so if he sees this I'm sure he'll correct me.

The CEO said, about the time Ketsui came out, they wanted to make 3 every 2 years. If Pink Sweets makes it out in March, that's 4 in about 21 months.

GaijinPunch is right, I found the translation here...

He says "ARCADE Titles" so is that 5 with the puzzle game? He also mentions 1 experimental game per year. I don't know if that counts as the Online Tank game, or even Ibara / Pink Sweets.

In any case, they are way beyond that.

It's funny most people haven't played 3 of those 4 games and worry over some cash-grab filler games. If only Takumi had 3 new shooters slated for release within a year, or maybe 1.

What's next what's next what's next??
you should be banned from posting the truth ever again. that was what i was supposed to say.
