In February 6’s Famitsu most-wanted games, there has been a shuffle up in the top five, most notably among Switch games. Final Fantasy VXV still takes the top spot for the PlayStation 5, while Bayonetta has shot up to second place, a spot previously held by Breath of the Wild 2. Number three is now Splatoon 3, with Breath of the Wild 2 falling to fifth place. The number four spot is taken by Dragon Test X Online. Triangle Strategy is just behind Breath of the Wild 2 at number six, Kirby and the Forgotten Land lands itself at seventh place. 14 of the top 30 most-wanted games in Japan, according to Famitsu, are Nintendo Switch games, which shows the sheer power of the brand (most of them are near the top of the rankings too.) Nintendo hasn’t even released their full slate of games for the year, which is sure to add more of their games to the list.
