My initial thoughts:

1. Xenoblade is the highest Wii game, glad to see it's a very well respected game in Japan; it deserves it IMO.

2. No Super Metroid, but Metroid II at 48? I'm surprised at that.

3. Mother 2/Earthbound is very high, seriously NoE why haven't we got this yet in some form?

4. Yoshi's Island at 50, way too low IMO

Cool the only Pokemon game up there's RBGY, wasn't GBC supposed to be even more loved by fans or something? Or does that apply only to the West? AND WHY IS IT THE ONLY POKEMON GAME UP THERE THIS IS BLASPHEMY. Just joking.

Agree with Yoshi's Island being too low at only 50, it's a darn good game.

Odd that there's only one Pokemon game.

And I wonder where's Paper Mario considering how Japanese love JRPGs.

They truly adore Xenoblade. It's a fantastic game, but really not the greatest JRPG everyone makes it out to be. The sidequests feel utterly trivial and unimportant to the story, in comparison to say a less than stellar critically received title such as Nier where you feel their importance to the overarching story.

Also this list only backs up my claims that the GBA Fire Emblems aren't all that popular in Japan. No one believes me whenever I tell them. Then again I imagine the sample size for this survey wasn't that large.
