The latest most-wanted games list has been published in Famitsu, Messung der am heißesten erwarteten Titel nach der Leserschaft der japanischen Website. Die neueste Ausgabe (using votes cast between 27th October and 1st November) saw a new frontrunner as Pokémon Scharlachrot und Pokémon Violett overtook the consistent podium-topper The Legend of Zelda: Tränen des Königreichs as the readers’ most-wanted game.

On the one hand, this should come as no surprise. The votes were cast in the run up to Scarlet and Violet’s release on 18November and passion for Pokémon generally runs higher in Japan than any other location. Nachdem das gesagt ist, the games have never topped Famitsu’s list (which is generally a battle between Tears of the Kingdom and Final Fantasy XVI auf der PlayStation 5).

Though the margin of victory is narrow in this week’s results – Scarlet and Violet took home 784 compared to Final Fantasy and Zelda’s 758 und 747 beziehungsweise – might Pokémon claiming the top spot suggest that the franchise is becoming more popular than Zelda? We imagine that the game’s upcoming release is the more likely reason behind its surge in popularity, but you never know…
