Why did you highlight the Nintendo games?




The Playstation brand clearly owned that poll.

I took the list off of a Nintendo fan site

They were already highlighted

Definitely not my type of taste. But at least you don't have stuff like Mario Sonic and the Olympics, Cooking Mama or Brain Training -_-

FFVII is justified imo.

If they think that SMG was the third best game of last year, why has it sold less than a million in there?Son_of_Some

Besides DQ4 it sold better than any of the other games listed below it

I see.

The list of best games ever played is pretty laughable if you ask me.DireToad

I like JRPGs so the list is about right for me. I am happy to see XenoGears so high. Amazing game

Not really laughable, more like sickening. I love JRPGs (and some of those deserve to be on there) but the lack of variety is disheartening.

3. Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii)
4. Dragon Quest IV (Nintendo DS)
6. Persona 3 (Sony PlayStation2)
7. Etrian Odyssey (Nintendo DS)

4. Xenogears (Sony PlayStation)

8. Chrono Trigger (Super NES)
9. Suikoden II (Sony PlayStation)
10. Okami (Sony PlayStation 2)

Where are the shooters? I thought it was the flagship genre for video games? Cute_Red_Panda

In case you haven't noticed shooters aren't big in Japan.

I need to go back and play VI I hope they remake it for the PSP. I have been enjoying RPGs on my handhelds. When you say the pre-PS1 era. We don't know what age group this survey targeted. For all we know this could be some Japanese POP mag. No idea

Your sig scares the sh!t out of me.

Okami is in the top ten yet it sold badly.m_machine024

So did LO yet it made the list also.

Decent list, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is good enough to justify the purchase of a psp.TerroRizing

The PSP is a great system their are many good games coming out. But you have to wait a lot of time between good games. Which does give you more time to play a DS.

not in spikey haired land.

and to no ones suprise there isnt a single western game in the list, thus proving the sheer ignorance and bias of the japanese market.rymill2

TEH XENOPHOBES!!! :cry:

Bitter much?

JRPG is the most popular genre in Japan, so they are the games that'll rank the highest on these popularity polls. I have to say though, I'm shocked that Monster Hunter Freedom outranked Mario Galaxy.

Actually, I think the psp library is better and more diverse than the ds library. I only liked a few ds games, so far. I guess its all about preference.

once again japan agrees FFVII is the best Tnasty11

Well FFVII always wins these polls, because for alot of people its the best JRPG they played. Although there are better JRPGs that people may not have played, or great JRPGs too complex for the average person.
