Famitsu’s most wanted games have been revealed. The poll took place between December 22 and January 6, and there are a plentiful amount of Nintendo Switch games on the list. Nintendo seems to be dominating in software in Japan, which is no surprise, as their software is second-to-none and Sony hasn’t been putting out the best content as of late, if much at all. 13 of the 30 most-wanted games on the list are Switch games, with some PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 titles mixed in. Nintendo has six of the top 10 most-wanted games, including titles like Breath of the Wild 2, Bravely Default II, and Shin Megami Tensei V, which are all slated to come out this year (although we don’t have an official word on Breath of the Wild 2.) Here is the list in full.

Famitsu’s most wanted games is an interesting list, and while it is nearly split down the middle, games like Final Fantasy VI won’t be coming out for a while. It will be interesting how this list evolves as more Nintendo Switch games are announced, because of now, there is very little we know about Nintendo’s 2021 plans.
