Japan would rather have more Rockman DASH than Rockman X

I'm honestly astonished that DASH even made it to this list. If anything, this little development would make a Rockman DASH 3 possibly the most wanted Rockman game in Japan, and the third most wanted game from Capcom. Also, I didn't know Japan wanted Shenmue THAT much, it didn't even sell well initially over there.


Other contenders on the list are:
1. Sakura Taisen (aka Sakura Wars) 267 votes
2. Shenmue 249 votes
3. Okami 204 votes
4. Gotchaforce 189 votes

[Strider Xhaiden]

It's good to see Okami, Jet Set Radio and Eternal Arcadia on there too.

[Align]

But no Demon's Crest / Gargoyle's Quest makes me :(

[Dr. Wily II]

No ZX?
Even after that cliffhanger ending?

This I like!
I want my Suikoden though...  Suikoden 6 that is.

[Gotham Ranger]

After playing X5 and 6, then remembering how incredibly lame 7 and 8 were, I'd rather have a 3rd DASH/Legends, too

[Jericho]

As I said before elsewhere:

Megaman Legends, Megaman X, The World Ends With You, Mother, Valkria Chronicles, Jet Set Radio, Chrono, & Golden Sun = happiness.

Still though, the list troubled me slightly for no StarFox mentions. Otherwise really solid list.

[Satoryu]

no Metroid? [tornado fang] you Japan.

[Gotham Ranger]

I read jerichos post as "The world ends with your mother"

[Gaia]

no Metroid? [tornado fang] you Japan.

It's mostly the more anime-like and older ones that get all the attention.. let nintendo cook something up first.. Well, at least Medarot/Medabots is up there.

[Satoryu]

Medabots? [tornado fang] you too, man.

[Align]

no Metroid? [tornado fang] you Japan.

It's odd, really. Modern Castlevania is the same thing in a different setting, and yet it seems to be much more popular, if number of releases are anything to go by...

[VixyNyan]

gothic bishonen is popular~

[Satoryu]

i was under the impression that Japan doesn't like Castlevania all that much.

[HyperSonicEXE]

Okami and Shenmue?

Nuh-uh; the $$$ numbers don't reflect how supposedly "badly" people want a sequel to a game. Remember, this is just from a Famitsu survey.

That said, considering all the franchises on that list, it's good to see Mega Man X on there, and no trace of a Final Fantasy. Legends...well, you know my take on that.

[Acid]

They don't like Metroid either it seems.

DAMN THEM

[Satoryu]

and no trace of a Final Fantasy.

well, there's no question more FF games will come out. for every game on the list, sequels and threequels aren't so certain.

[HyperSonicEXE]

They don't like Metroid either it seems.

DAMN THEM

Honestly, though, you can stick a fork in the story because it's more or less done (even though there are still options; we've discussed them on this board at length), the Primes were generally good but nothing outstanding, and people are seeing the 2D games for the backtracking, Power-Bombing, snorefests that they were.

It's why MMX didn't get more votes; another Metroid game would probably be as 'meh' as every other recent game just like X9 might be 'meh' to terrible. Metroid needs a gameplay revamp, and MMX needs to ditch Ride Chasers and Rankings.

well, there's no question more FF games will come out. for every game on the list, sequels and threequels aren't so certain.

Yes, that's true; no Dragon Quest on here, either. Now, if only it meant things that well for Starfox.

[Acid]

There's no Dragon Quest because DQ9 and DQX were already announced and DG6:DS is on its way too.

[HyperSonicEXE]

There's no Dragon Quest because DQ9 and DQX were already announced and DG6:DS is on its way too.

Exactly.
...wait, DQX? I heard about how IX was going to be for the DS, but they already announced X?! Good grief.

[Acid]

DQX, announced for Wii.

[Night]

Better chance at getting Legends 3?!





















YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
