Japan Persona 5 Scramble ---> JRPG  My Hero One's Justice 2 ---> anime One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 ---> anime Kotoba no Puzzle: Mojipittan Encore ---> pure japanese game Naruto...Ninja Storm 4... ---> anime Utano Prince Sama...Love ---> anime Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Minecraft Dungeons LoH: Trails of Cold Steel 3 ---> JRPG Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix ---> some typical japanese stuff Trials of Mana Just Dance 2020 ---> late release US Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Eastward Swimsanity! The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics Panzer Dragoon: Remake Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold Minecraft Dungeons Oddworld Stranger's Wrath The Outer Worlds One Finger Death Punch 2 Samurai Shodown Trials of Mana These lists are radically different.  I highlighted the 3 games that appeared on both lists.  And I know Just Dance 2020 has a later release date in Japan.  But for the most part it looks like Japan and the rest of the world are getting radically different third party games.  I know Japan is a small market that rarely buys Western games, but I would think the Japanese would export their games more.  The US, for example, is a pretty big market.  What gives Japan?

Games are strongly related to animes in Japan.
