wow i dont think i would play a single one of those games, except for RE2. that i beat.
just goes to show, japan is more into games you can play on the go because most of them have small living rooms or no TV's. its just easier to play on the go for them.

Final Fantasy 12 got 40?
AWESOME. That game is still underappreciated for it's innovation.
But New Super Matio Bros. Wii and Nintendogs? It's a travesty they got it.

This list is embarrassingly homogeneous. I wonder whether the sales statistics or the Famitsu Gold Star requirement are responsible. It's not secret that Japanese gamers tend to favor Japanese-developed titles as well as particular franchises, but I would love to see a little more diversity on the list.
I'd love to see a North American and European version of this list, sans Gold Star requirement.

This list appeals to me as both obvious and mysterious. It's very interesting, but not surprising at the same time.
I wonder what sorts of omissions were made from Famitsu filtering out all "non-gold" titles (that is, titles that didn't score within the range they were looking for). Wii Fit, maybe?

wow like 15 of those are Nintendo games.
Its more or less that Japan has a completely different culture than my country.

This list makes me sad. I can't believe they are such big fans of the handhelds and the Nintendos. lol But we that already... It just doesn't make sense to my puny American brain.
To be honest....most of this list ...while great games.....are soooo vanilla.
Way to make some edgy choices FAMITSU......not that I ever really trust their reviews or rankings given how ad/company-supported they are.

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire were more of a disappointment to the Pokemon series. Fire Red and Leaf Green were much better.
Most of those games are absolutely fantastic. It's nice to see FFVIII is the highest selling Final Fantasy.
Pokemon, Mario, Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, and Nintendogs. I guess that they don't like a wide variety of games.
Man, lot a haters of handhelds and Nintendo. This just illustrates the cutural differences between Japan and the West. Personally, as a big player of handheld games, I can see why so many of them are so high on the list. Unlike here in the West where handheld games are automatically inferior to console games regardless of storytelling, artstyle, and gameplay (in all three categories, TWEWY is better than any console game you can throw at it), Japan can't get enough of them.
Also not surprised by the lack of "diversity" here. Nintendo is essentiallly a cultural icon in Japan and Dragon Quest is probably the biggest RPG franchise in existence. Not even FF comes close.

Lots of Pokemon, with old games and remakes included (GS,Crystal and HGSS, wow, 3 times the same game in essence)
30 games but only 9 - 10 IPs. Only 2 of the top 10 are not handheld. So basically, Japan can continue to remake the same games forever and make plenty of dough. No wonder the Japanese dev community have been (generally) stagnating since the last generation.
