[jasche77]

i am unaware of the how strong the horse racing game genre is in the region! are you familiar with the G1 jockey series franchise? how do you think melbourne cup game will stand against these titles? did the G1 jockey series title sell well.

Horse racing games usually only sell about 10,000-30,000 copies in Australasia. Given that this title should be at the top end of the genre, we would hope to beat that significantly, especially given local relevance of the content.

We should be able to post some solid numbers in Europe too, and there is always the opportunity to take the title to the US also.

Yes, Japan is a market we are looking at closely - the last horse racing game I saw released over there sold over 600,000 units!

could be quite the cash cow you want....hope it breaks records for you!

[Odin]

well i hope it will be a budget release. say $49.95.

[Twinkles]

My opinion and that doesn't count for much is no way it will be $49, this game is going to be huge and think it will sell for $99.95 rrp.

I think you'll find the game was one of the G1 Jockey series

I find that hard to believe

considering G1 hasnt had a new release in 3 years, and Gallop Racer is an annual event in Japan

Generally speaking games released annually have the customer base to do so

sell it in Hong Kong, they'll buy it, they love horse racing

[Aberphil]

Mario, to sell in europe i seriously think your going to have to have at least editable jockeys and horse names. Just so we can mae it a bit more local for us.

Create a jockey would be good. Create a track would be brilliant as well!

[MackTheKnife]

Sell it to the oil barons in saudi arabia etc. They love their horses. But no betting. I think.

mario wot profit is expected if u sell 10 000 or 30 000 and is it a biger market then say RL 2 ?

worldwide this game could sell 10 times RL2

countries like........HK, Japan, USA where most sales will come from, wont even see NRL2

I assume this horse racing game must be a dual NTSC/PAL release....if ur gonna crack the US or Japan market its gotto be NTSC.

The fact NRL2 isnt NTSC is evidence this game is bigger, or is projected to sell alot more

[Coleksi_dragons069]

this game sounds kool

[StormFan4Lyf]

How do you play it? Like do you have to tap the buttons fast to make the horse run and does the horse have stamina etc.?
