>To be fair, Torneko 2 and DQ7 both launched after the PS2, so probably not a lot of people checking for PS1 releases at the dawn of a new gen.
Probably fair for DQ7. But Torneko came out in the US on November 15, 2000—around the release of FFIX, Driver 2, THPS2 and Dino Crisis 2. all these games still sold very well.
>both Torneko 2 and Chocobo's Dungeon 2 got terrible reviews by people getting filtered by them, so people reading those reviews probably took them at face value and refrained from buying the games as a consequence.
yeah, that's pretty sad. and I guess the SNES Torneko would get the same treatment.
>Most people that are aware of monster catching games outside of Pokémon are quite fond of Dragon Quest Monsters.
the question is, did it get attention because it was a DQ game, or because it was a monster catching game. I think it was the latter.
