The latest edition of Famitsu has revealed which games Japanese fans are looking forward to the most. There’s no change at the top for Square Enix’s PlayStation 5 exclusive, Final Fantasy XVI, which seems to have held the No.1 spot for forever, however, this week has seen Xenoblade Chronicles 3 overtake Splatoon 3 and take the No.2 spot. Nine of the top ten games are on the Nintendo Switch platform, which just shows how dominant the system is in Japan. Here’s this week’s most wanted games between 12th May, 2022 and 18th May 18, 2022

  1. My most wanted game is Disgaea 6 I’ve got it for Nintendo Switch i mean for PlayStation on June 28th. Loved Disgaea 5 unfortunately i couldn’t ever figure out how you get Trapezohedron it increases all your stats and I’ve got all trophies for Disgaea 5 except the trophy for doing 10 million damage in one attack. I’ve seen the trophy list for Disgaea 6 on Psnprofiles website. It also has the damage-oholic trophy except it’s for doing 100,000,000,000 damage in one attack.
    Im hyped for Disgaea 6 on June 28th.

    1. Dragon Quest X should be higher but the separate the votes be platform version which favors exclusives. it also seems Famitsu didn’t let people vote for Dragon Quest XII.

  2. Dragon Quest X should be higher but this post leaves out the fact that it separates the votes by console version which is unfair because it will favor exclusives. Famitsu also doesn’t let people vote for Dragon Quest XII.
