Crimson Dragon and more in this week's Japanese news roundup

[Gamasutra rounds up recent reports on the Japanese games industry from local news site Andriasang.com, a leading destination for English-language news on Japan's game industry.] In our latest round-up of Japanese game industry news not previously reported on Gamasutra, we look at the winners of Grasshopper Manufacture's PS Vita Game Capus Festa competition, Microsoft's delay for Kinect-exclusive Crimson Dragon (pictured), and sales data for two 3DS games. Grasshopper Manufacture announces PS Vita Game Campus Festa winners No More Heroes maker Grasshopper Manufacture will release five student-developed PS Vita games -- the winners of its recent Game Campus Festa program -- to PlayStation Plus subscribes on June 21 as free downloads. Grasshopper began the Game Campus Festa initiative last year, supplying Japanese game development schools with PS Vita development kits. Students were invited to form teams, submit their game ideas, then create that game in five months if their idea is selected. The company chose five winning titles out of the nine completed projects that those student teams submitted: Uni Uni Union (puzzle action), Eledive (puzzle action), Octalide (action), Volt (puzzle action), and Mou, Sou Suru Shika Nai (puzzle). Kinect exclusive Crimson Dragon delayed Microsoft has delayed its Kinect-exclusive Xbox 360 game Crimson Dragon, which was seen as the spiritual successor to Sega's cult rail-shooter series Panzer Dragoon. The company did not offer a reason for why it pushed back its intended June 13 release, nor did it provide a revised date. Crimson Dragon is under development at Groundling, where Panzer Dragoon creator Yukio Futatsugi is directing the title. Gamasutra recently spoke with Futatsugi in-depth about the project and the challenges that come with developing Kinect games. Low sell through for Guild 01, high sell through for Dragon Quest Square Enix's Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D became the second fastest-selling 3DS game in Japan last week after it moved 513,138 units, not far behind Capcom's Monster Hunter 3G number, which hit 522,00 in its opening week. It likely would have sold a lot more copies, too, if retailers were able to keep it in stock. According to local game sales tracking service Media-Create, this 3DS remake of a 1998 GBA RPG sold through 94 percent of its initial shipment. The only other major 3DS release last week, Level-5's Guild 01, didn't do nearly as well, selling just 15,000 units and 53 percent of its stock. The release featured small game projects from notable designers like Goichi Suda (No More Heroes), Yoot Saito (Seaman), and Yasumi Matsuno (Final Fantasy Tactics).
