Momo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Majora's Mask is one space lower (higher?) than TP. Japan, you have failed me. Also, it's Metroid Japan doesn't really care for, not Zelda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 FE1's on the list, what the frick?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 34. Golf NES The fuck? Also, I never heard anywhere that Japan hated FE4. It didn't sell as well as later entries, but it was 1996 so that's not exactly surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaka Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I was surprised, this really feels nostalgia filtered. (Now I post this on the FE boards, let's not go too off topic) Also FE4 is the second best selling FE in Japan, but judging on how Japanese fans want Ogma more then Sigurd in Smash (Trufax), I expected FE4 to lose to FE3 BADLY.

Hm. I distinctly remember the list of FE sellings having FE4 surprisingly low on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaka Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 No, that was FE5, which was released in 1999 when the N64 was dieing. (so the SNES wasn't on the rage) and thus FE5 sold less then 100,000 units. I believe FE9 and FE10 weren't all that popular in Japan either. (Sony did murder the GC in Japan however, only 4 million GC's were sold in Japan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Super Mario Galaxy 2 not topping the list is disappointing. Edit: I can't even see it on the list at all. Even more disappointing. Edited January 2, 2012 by kirsche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Metroid 1 and 2 are there but not Super Metroid? What an interesting list. FE1 shouldn't have been on that list. FE12 should've. Edited January 2, 2012 by Sirius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) > No Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal > FE1 on the list Troll list detected. It really bugged me that GSC didn't make it since it got viewed by many as superior to RBY which is on the list.

Ϲharlie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Huh, I thought FE4 was super unpopular in Japan Where'd you get that idea? FE4 has always been the most popular Fire Emblem in Japan with FE3 being a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No, that was FE5, which was released in 1999 when the N64 was dieing. (so the SNES wasn't on the rage) and thus FE5 sold less then 100,000 units. What sales are being accounted for, however. Does the Nintendo Power service count in the units sold? 'Cause the actual cartridge release came way late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaka Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) You know what, I'm not too sure. Also, fan demand really seems to prefer FE3 to FE4, Ogma and Navarre are more popular then Sigurd and Celice (according to Smash fan demand anyways) Can we have this moved BTW, I didn't expect discussion about the list in general, so yeah.

VincentASM Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Dunno about Smash Bros, but I always got the impression FE4 was more popular amongst the Japanese FE community, say on the message boards or fansites. Maybe gamers in general might prefer FE3, I dunno. About FE5's sales, I think the only known numbers come from the TearRing Saga lawsuit, which occured around the time of FE5's release and unfortunately don't really go into much detail about the sales numbers.

uguu Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 35. Joy Mech Fight NES I don't know man, this list seems accurate enough to me, even if the best game is a bit low 8888] Though, it is disappointing to see two of the better FEs (2 and 5) aren't on it despite the massive amount of nostalgia going on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think the main thing we can conclude from this list is that Japan has different taste in games. Also Skyward Sword being on there sticks out to me a bit... not because it's a bad game, but simply because it could have only been out for a few weeks when this poll was released, hardly enough time for people to remove their novelty glasses. Give it another month, and I wonder where it'd have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same problem happened for Skyrim here in the U.S. :/ People are still having fun with the game, whereas other 2011 releases they were all said-and-done with and had more rigid opinions about. That's why we look at these polls for what they are, and not what they should be :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyEmblem Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Oh my!!! I knew FE4 was going to be the highest of all FE I read the topic's tittle and I said: "Surely is FE4 :3" (but I didn't expect that FE3 and FE1 were on the list Owo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat726 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Why is the worst Pokemon game the only one on the list? You're mistaken. I don't see ruby and sapphire on this list anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
