It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest XI remains the top pick.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between December 24 and January 6.

One of the new elements in Hyrule Warriors Legends is the “My Fairy” system. Fairies are like partners during the game. If you befriend one, it’ll assist you in battle through its special attributes.

In next week’s issue of Famitsu, a download code will be included for players to obtain an exclusive costume. This apparently cannot be acquired through other means. As for the costume itself, it’s based on Ghirahim. It comes with a special skill that increases fairy magic effects, so it might be useful in high difficulty stages.

Thanks to Famitsu, data has been made public of the top five best-selling Wii U games in Japan. Each one is made by Nintendo, and three are million sellers.

Here’s the full lineup:

New Super Mario Bros. U – 1,252,654 copies
Mario Kart 8 – 1,183,372 copies
Splatoon – 1,154,192 copies

Update 2: Not mentioned in the article specifically, but a Tears of Light change has been spotted in one of the images. See this post.


Update: Having gone through the Twilight Princess HD pages, it seems that it doesn’t talk about new features. Instead it re-introduces the whole game – story, Link’s abilities, etc. Famitsu only mentions that everything is redrawn in full HD… so pretty much nothing new. Enjoy the screenshots though!


This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Hyrule Warriors Legends, Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS), Monster Hunter Stories, Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages, and Zelda: Twilight Princess HD.
