Japan’s Most Wanted Games according to Famitsu
GameFront.de alerts the internet about what games the readers of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu want the most for this week. We’re posting the chart below, all for your voyeuristic needs. Please note though that the numbers in the parentheses after the position indicate the game’s rank in the “Most Wanted” charts in the previous weeks.
- (1 / 2) Dragon Quest IX NDS Square Enix
- (2 / 1) Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Square Enix
- (3 / 3) Biohazard 5 PS3 Capcom
- (5 / 4) Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 Konami
- (6 / 7) Monster Hunter 3 PS3 Capcom
- (9 / 8) Zelda no Densetsu: Phantom Hourglass NDS Nintendo
- (10/ 9) Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations PS2 Banpresto
- (7 /12) Odin Sphere PS2 Atlus
- (14/11) EverybodyÂ’s Golf 5 PS3 Sony
- (11/10) Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors Wii Square Enix
- (8 /17) Devil May Cry 4 PS3 Capcom
- (12/14) Lost Odyssey Xbox 360 Microsoft
- (13/16) Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings NDS Square Enix
- (15/13) Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii Nintendo
- (19/15) Doubutsu no Mori [Animal Crossing] Wii Nintendo
- (16/18) Shining Wind PS2 Sega
- (20/19) Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou PSP Square Enix
- (18/20) Final Fantasy Versus XIII PS3 Square Enix
- (17/21) Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII PSP Square Enix
- (23/23) Gran Turismo 5 PS3 Sony
It seems that for the past three weeks the number one spot’s been a toss up between two of Square Enix’s franchises, Final Fantasy XIII, and Dragon Quest IX. Biohazard #@%!8
9#@%! (Resident Evil 5 in other shores) is planted firmly at third spot, While MGS 4 is hovering somewhere above that.
We’d like to describe the titles in the chart in more detail, but we’ll skip that. It seems more pertinent to note that perhaps Microsoft needs more titles like Lost Odyssey, or at least titles that have as much hype as that game in Japan, as it is the only Xbox 360 title in the top 20.
Of course, to keep the console analysis level, we’ll balance out that assertion by noting that we’re wondering how many of those PS3 titles listed will stay for the exclusive to the PS3. Exclusivity may not matter in Japan but it may make a difference in other regions where the PS3 sees stiffer competition. As for the Wii? Well, we’re still waiting for online play. There. Equal opportunity console analysis. Happy?
