Japanese or Western Games?

Definitely Japanese for me. They aren't as good as they used to be and Western games are definitely a lot better than they used to be, but still the prospect of a new Japanese game just excites me more than a new western game. That's true both for long running franchises that I'm a fan of and for new IPs.

Same here. My dad raised me on Japanese NES and SNES games. I've found that in the 7th gen, Japanese generally devs lost their way with the advent of HD development. I lean towards Western games now, but not the ones listed. I have much more respect for the minimalism of Japanese game design than the set-piece oriented design of some Western games (not all, but many popular games fall under this category). Anything that doesn't add to the game needs to go, IMO.
