Forums - Gaming - JAPAN: FAMITSU’S Readers Most Wanted Video Games

Around the Network

Super Smash Bros for 3DS is the only version charting.
what the hell were Nintendo thinking...



 Nice to see Mario Kart 8 there. Proof MK8 is going to boost sales everywhere. The question  still remains. How much will it help the Wii U?

Playstation Domination. Japan PS4 launch will be an all out onslaught on the gaming world from Sony.........
Hope the Vita see's some healthy sales boost.

I do not really want any of those. I guess Mario Kart 8 and since Wii U has a lack of games, probably Smash as well, but was never big with it, Maybe because I had no friends. Maybe it will change with full online?
Psycho Break sounds interesting.

It sure does. And the man behind it just makes this game even more interesting. I hope to God it won't fail.

Smash Bros on 3DS is really going to hurt the WiiU version. Nintendo should have built two separate games and released them in different years. Like what they do with Mario Kart.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The Famitsu most wanted list has always heavily leaned toward Sony. Charts rarely reflect a parallel.

That takes nothing away from Sony having a solid showing as it proves Sony has done a very good job of capturing the Famitsu readership.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Another generation of FINAL FANTASY dominance on Playstation incoming.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Can 3DS gamers play Wii U gamers?

Do you really think people are going to pay $100 to get both games at once. They'll have to make a choice and I guarantee the majority of them will go with the 3DS version since it's a console that a lot of people in Japan already own.

I just hope it will be like the FF's as we remember them from the PSOne and PS2 era and not the abomination XIII was :(
