Obviously a lot of recency bias and weird choices on this list (Xenoblade 2 being there at all let alone above 1 is very funny) but Splatoon 2 being so high up here is a big W so for that reason alone good job Japan

the thing that was making me chuckle for a while was the fact that the first three western games you see here are undertale, minecraft, and apex legends

lmao at pokemon diamond being like 80 spots higher than platinum, despite platinum being objectively better

i wonder how many people just said 'diamond' or 'pearl' despite probably meaning the remakes

Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest in top 10 based
Also surprised Suikoden 2 and Xenogears are so high. And Puyo Puyo 1 over Tsuu or Sun, plus Legend of Mana over Seiken Densetsu 3?
wow this list is kinda dookie in its placements
at least my top 5 besides croc is on here

Say all you want about the list it's most likely infinitely better than what would've happened if they asked US/Western players

Ngl? My favorite Top 100. A good counterpart to the AFI list for movies, to focus on the canon of the single, most important nation in an industry of arts
