    This is between January 1, 2001 and September 29, 2013.

    I knew Japan liked their Dragon Quest but I didn't realise some of them were ahead of the Final Fantasies.

    They don't even have any of my favourite Japanese games from the last 13 years in there. Poor show, Japan!

    I know the weeaboos complain about all the west being interested in is FIFA and COD but thats, basically, a list of pokemon and pokemon-esque time wasters and games from two JRPG series. It really is no wonder japanese games sell terribly over here now.

    Proof that Phil Fish was right.

    Westerners = quick pick-up-and-play games.
    Easterners = lengthily long and drawn out never ending monster collecting/destroying games with boys that look like girls.

    ... am I right?

    The Japanese also thought that Hitler was a "jolly decent chap".

    Ha ha, that 'Hitler' post wasn't there when I began typing that, but I'm glad it is now. :D

    For what's its worth, I think you are a jolly decent chap too, neilka.

    Certainly explains why Japan is such a low priority for the PS4 launch. I knew the 360 had tanked over there, but the lack of Sony stuff is a surprise.

    Nintendo could shit in a box, and then delay the release, and Japan would still lap it up.

    "Please understand"

    I'd buy it.
  • Deleted user 8 November 2013 17:14:35
    I'll pre-order the collectors edition.
  • Deleted user 8 November 2013 17:17:36
    God damn the Japanese love their collecting and Monster Hunting.

    I love Japanese games but the only games I like on that whole list are Mario Kart, Sports Resort, and Mario 3D Land.

    Very surprised NSMB is number 1. It's really not that good.

    No love for Rival Schools?
  • Deleted user 8 November 2013 17:19:46
    Rival Schools is brilliant, especially Rival Schools 2 on the DC. Capcom's 2nd best fighter series after Street Fighter imo.

    You say that but 90% of Wii U games have sold appallingly over there.

    You can prove anything with facts!

    Or vague statistic in this case.

    This goes some way to explaining Japan's declining birth rate.

    Too busy collecting to procreate?
