The latest Famitsu readers most wanted video games have now been published and Capcom’s intriguing Sci-fi game Pragmata has shot to No.1 with the inclusion of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Pragmata received 567 reader votes putting it ahead of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, which received 472 votes. Here’s all this week’s Famitsu readers most wanted video games:
- Pragmata – 567
- Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (SW2) – 472
- Resident Evil Requiem – 429
- Pokémon Pokopia – 398
- Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (SW) – 344

- Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (PS5) – 307
- Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties – 196
- Mario Tennis Fever – 180
- Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave – 172
Why is only DQ VII separated by platform?
Just noticed that. Yeah these polls have always been weird.
Yikes, Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave in the 10th spot is not a good look. 💀
Pragmata will have rough uphill battle as a new IP
It will tank with Capcom’s other games everyone seems to ignore they’ve had a ton of flops and pretend Capcom is doing amazing. Why do you think they charged for Street Fighter tournaments? They need mkney bad they have to pay back investors and these new games are not doing it. Capcom would have been smarter to not make every game a AAA ultra realistic game do some smaller titles like Ace Attorney and cel shaded stuff, Gen Z revivals over “new IP”. Street Fighter 6 is not doing what they wanted it’s selling less than they wanted and DLC doesn’t seem to be moving add on all the partnerships they need to pay off and the amount of money they give away for e-sports it’s not worth it.
Another flop to add to the list of Capcom flops. Exoprimal, Path Of The Goddess, Dragons Dogma 2, the underperfoming Monster Hunter Wilds, and honestly Street Fighter 6 because no one is buying into the DLC and most sales came from discount. If Pragmata tanks too add that to the list. Onimusha will have it rough and if Monster Hunter underperformed I can only imagine Resident Evil will too.
If Capcom considers MH Wilds a underperformance then I don’t see how these other games do any better. If MH was a underperformance it’s even weirder they consider SF6 a success it feels all fabricated to keep shareholders at bay until that time comes. They better make plans to sell to Saudi Arabia now. Also always thought it was weird the marketing for SF6 was way more expensive and then Capcom cup and having tournaments behind a pay wall it all makes sense now and they did pay Speed to promote MH Wilds to that’s why it had higher expectations and wasting millions to show the game at Geoff shows. Even worse showing Resident Evil 9, Pragmata, Onimusha, and Okami at his shows not good moves. The Marvel collection didn’t launch to high sales either and they charge a ton in licensing so add that to the fire.
Dead Rising remake flopped too so they have been a bomb factory for a while surprised no one calls it out and worse say the opposite that Capcom is great?
I’m not much of a non-Nintendo gamer. But I gotta say, Pragmata looks pretty cool. Out of these 10 games, it is the one I am currently most interested in.
