Japanese gaming bible – Famitsu, have compiled a list of their top 30 most wanted games that are coming soon to all platforms. It makes for quite interesting reading.
Ok, there’s no surprise that “Dragon Quest X” sits at the top of the list, but “Super Mario Galaxy 2” at number 26!%$? Just goes to show the difference in taste between the Japanese and western gamers as there’s no sign of “Metroid: Other M” or “Zelda Wii” either!
1. Dragon Quest X (Wii)
2. Final Fantasy Versus 13 (PS3)
3. Ni no Kuni (DS)
4. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (DS)
5. Final Fantasy XIV (PS3)
6. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)
7. Pokemon (Generation 5) (DS)
8. Last Ranker (PSP)
9. Last Remnant (PS3)
10. Ghost Trick (DS)
The other 20 are after the break…
