The most anticipated games in Japan according to THE Japanese Vidya Magazine.
Are there any games on this list you are looking forward to?

this is a thinly vield pragmata thread isn't it

why the fuck would i care about japan's market?
what is with the famitsu obsession?

>>714103354
No, it'a thinly veiled Kirby Air Riders thread

Is the switch version of ZA cheaper than the switch 2 version or something? Or is it simply higher because a lot of them can't get a 2?

>>714104783
Not everyone wants a Switch 2 especially with the screen it has now.

Japs aren't really known for being all in for new Hardware. I've seen tons of people still using iPhone Xes.

>>714104945
Shut up if you are just going to post bullshit

>>714104783
Both, cheaper and well ofc too many yet to upgrade, remember they have sold more than 30m Switch 1 units there alone and barely mroe than 1m Switch 2 so far.

I live in Japan I'm telling you how it is. Switch 2 had tons of anti scalping measures put in place. It's not sold out anywhere I know, I did see it sold out for a day or two in Yodobashi Akiba but you can still get it elsewhere and they're restocking non stop.

>>714103283 (OP)
what the fuck even happened with the top 30 last week anyway?

>>714103283 (OP)
Based DQ domination. I hope they ride the momentum and make DQ4-6 HD-2D next.

Didn't realize that DK was that popular in Japan.

>>714110272
I think the popularity of DK is secondary to being a big new Nintendo game.

>>714104783
Way more people have a Switch 1 than a Switch 2, of course the Switch 1 version is going to have more votes

>>714103283 (OP)
>40 year old games bring the most excitement

>>714110272
It probably isn't but it's one of the only new Switch 2 games on the horizon. Zelda wasn't really that popular in Japan either until BOTW, so the same might happen to DK with Bananza

>>714104945
switch 2 screen is better than switch 1 though
nobody has oled

>>714110174
What about DQ2-5-6-8 HD-4K-3D-2D-4D Hero Edition & Brave Edition?

>>714103283 (OP)
Threadly reminder that those polls are filled by a handful of people and have zero bearing on reality

LMAO!

If you lived in Japan you would know Switch 2 was being sold only through lotteries, retard. A few stores started selling them normally only yesterday

>>714110174
Only crusty old boomers read Famitsu, Pokemon Legends ZA will sell more copies in Japan in one day than Dragon Quest remake will in its lifetime worldwide

>>714110174
>and make DQ4-6 HD-2D next.
Not gonna happen

>>714103283 (OP)
Surprised to see SRW Y up there.

>>714104783
It's actually very hard to get a Switch 2 in Japan right now.

>>714103283 (OP)
japan really dont care about digimon, the west is saving it

>>714112914
Only the Switch 2 version. The combined votes for both Switch 1 and 2 versions puts it in #2, though there's still a massive gap between it and Dragon Quest when you combine all versions of that too.

>>714113869
New digimon games suck, its just a rip off of SMT but with brain dead easy combat and no alignment choices

>another soulless Most Wanted
I miss Osama...
