A list of the top 50 (well, 49 technically) best-selling Japanese games of all time has been compiled. The classic Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow titles stand at the top of the list with over 10 million units sold. Meanwhile, the recently released Dragon Quest IX is already within the top 15. You can check out the full list in the image attached to this post above.

Disney Interactive Studios has sent out an email to the press, teasing an announcement which will be made soon. Next month in London, the company will be releasing information for “an iconic new title.” I’d say that there’s a strong chance that this mystery game will turn out to be Epic Mickey. Although, Game Informer may actually have a first look before the event takes place on the 28th. The magazine has a teaser of its own in its latest issue, saying that “something epic is brewing.”

– Pace of the battles can quicken with auto-targeting
– Players can complete a bunch of sidequests that are optional
– Can switch items with previous inventory in hiding places when the story forces you to change characters

Rumor has it that earlier this month, president of The Pokemon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, spoke with Famitsu and briefly discussed a new game for Wii. You can check out the snippet below:

“I can’t go into details about it, but we’re also working on a Wii game. It should be announced soon.”

I find it odd that this wasn’t mentioned elsewhere, especially since this issue hit newsstands a number of weeks ago. It’s possible that it was somehow missed, though. If I remember correctly, this should have been the edition when Famitsu was interviewing Ishihara about HeartGold/Soul Silver.

I’d be content if there was a new project for Wii. I just wonder whether it’d be a WiiWare title, a 3D battle experience, or something similar to the games on Nintendo’s handhelds.
