Famitsu Most Wanted Sequels Revealed

Japanese gaming bible Famitsu magazine has conducted a reader poll to find the most wanted sequels and the outcome is very interesting indeed. Nintendo fans will note that the quirky RPG series 'Mother' (known as EarthBound in the West) still rides high amongst Japanese fans after the success of Mother 3 on the GBA a few years back, whilst the only other Nintendo title to feature is the never-before-Westernised Famicom Detective Club series, of which there have been two game and a SNES remake.

Interestingly enough, Okami is right up there at No.3, which could well give Capcom Japan a nudge since the Wii port of the classic Clover Studios adventure has not been released in the Far East. The DS version of Chrono Trigger has clearly got people's juices flowing again as well, with it landing at No.14 and Square Enix's fledgling hit 'The World Ends with You' at No.21. Another oft-mentioned game amongst readers here on Cubed3 is Baten Kaitos, which received 69 votes in the poll, placing it at No.25.
