Famitsu Japan's 100 favorite video games

From Video Game Sales Wiki

Top 100 favorite video games in Japan according to a Famitsu survey. Many of these games are not only critically acclaimed, but have also sold very well in the Japanese market. It's a safe bet to say a sequel to any of these games will be well-received by the country.

This list gives some insight over what genres and what companies Japanese gamers enjoy playing. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are high on the list as are Mario products. Japan likes their home-built games as only 4 out of one hundred games are non-Asian. RPGs make up much of the list and Playstation 1 and 2 games rule the poll.
