The ranking is based on votes received by Famitsu readers from July 14-20, so we still see Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ranked (among other things, here’s our review), even though it’s already available in stores, and it’ll likely be there next week as well.

As we can see, Splatoon 3 takes second place, confirming the huge enthusiasm for Nintendo’s colorful multiplayer shooter due to be released on September 9. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 finished third on the podium.

Highest positions in the Famitsu reader ranking overall Dominated by Nintendo Switch7 out of 10 games are coming to the handheld console, including Bayonetta 3, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The exceptions are the aforementioned Final Fantasy 16, the PS5 version of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, and Soul Hackers 2, which ranked ninth and tenth respectively.

The rest of the lineup is much more balanced, with plenty of games for PS4 and PS5 and room for a western build like the rare Hogwarts Legacy for Famitsu’s most wanted.
