It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. There’s not too much movement this week, but Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon appears at the very end.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between June 15 and June 21.

In its first week in Japan, The Alliance Alive sold around 25,000 – 30,000 copies. That may not seem like a lot, but FuRyu had realistic expectations. The RPG wasn’t overshipped as Dengeki reports that The Alliance Alive sold through 70 percent of its initial shipment.

The Legend of Legacy, FuRyu’s last 3DS RPG, saw first week sales of 53,974. It also sold through 83 percent of its initial shipment. The Alliance Alive has sold less so far, but it could have longer legs as the player reception has been more favorable this time around.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology wasn’t always intended for 3DS. In the art book included with the game’s special Perfect Edition in Japan, Atlus reveals an interesting piece of news about the development process.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was initially intended for “another handheld device”. However, director Mitsuru Hirata became too busy working on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and the project was suspended. After the Wii U project wrapped up, Atlus turned its attention back to Radiant Historia, but the market ratio between 3DS and the other unnamed device was too significant when the project rebooted. Radiant Historia shifted to 3DS as a result.

Nintendo opened the full website for Hey! Pikmin. It’s accessible right here. You can read up on some gameplay information, view some screenshots, and check out some footage.

Speaking of footage, we’ve rounded up the various clips from the site. You can view them as a single clip below.
