Blue Dragon Japan cant wait

[Baine]

Yes, you've read it right. In the top 10 poll of the most popular magazine in Japan, Famitsu, Xbox 360’s RPG Blue Dragon has just managed its way up to the 3rd most anticipated game in this country, surprisingly leaving behind titanic titles in the region like Metal Gear Solid 4 and The Legend Of Zelda.

This is the first time ever that an Xbox or Xbox 360 game reaches such high levels of anticipation in the land of the rising sun. Big names like Sakaguchi, Toriyama and Uematsu and the massive advertising in Japan are undoubtedly the causes behind this achievement some would call a miracle.
1. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
2. Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Capcom)
3. Blue Dragon (Xbox 360, Microsoft)
4. Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3, Konami)
5. Summon Night 4 (PS2, Banpresto)
6. The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess (Wii, Nintendo)
7. Yakuza 2 (PS2, Sega)
8. Dawn of Mana (PS2, Square Enix)
9. Super Robot Taisen : Original Generations (PS2, Banpresto)
10. Tales of Destiny (PS2, Bandai Namco)
11. Final Fantasy VI Advance (GBA, Square Enix)
12. Higurashi no Naku Kei ni Matsuri (Alchemist, NDS)
13. Gyakutensaiban 4 (NDS, Capcom)
14. Furai no Syren (NDS, Sega)
15. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (Xbox 360, Tecmo)
16. Monster Hunter Portable 2 (PSP, Capcom)
17. Dragon Quest Monsters J (NDS, Square Enix)
18. Monster Hunter 3 (PS3, Capcom)
19. The Legend of Zelda : Phantom Hourglass (NDS, Nintendo)
20. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii, Nintendo)

I really hope this comes out over here soon and hopefully this will help the poor sales of the 360 over there

I guess that's good news for MS, and isn't RE5 coming to the 360 as well?

It is but I imagine it'll sell more on the PS3 in Japan.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Resident Evil 5 was going to be Playstation3 only in Japan, but Xbox360 will have it in North American and Europe.

Nice to see, nice to see.

Perhaps the Japanese are slowly realising that the 360 ain't so bad after all!

You'll probably find they'll buy it as their second console behind the PS3

Blue Dragon is to asia, what Hallo3 or GoW is to us lot. It'll be very big.

No Lost Odyssey? I was looking forward to that more. They seem to like Blue Dragon a whole lot with all them preorder bundles with 360s selling out.
