The Best Japanese Games of 2005

Next Generation has an article breaking down the 10 best games released in Japan this year. From the article: "This game will debut next year in America as "Steambot Chronicles," which is kind of a cool name. It is an action-adventure about a girl, a young boy with amnesia, and his giant robot. Now, that sentence might describe a hundred thousand animes -- though please, stick around for a minute. There's more: your giant robot looks like a car with legs, the girl is the lead singer in a jazz-blues-rock band whose guitarist might be trying to kill her so he can raise the backup singer to the lead position, and the only possession found on the young boy with amnesia was a harmonica with his name engraved in it. Exciting, huh?"

Where's Nintendogs? by Anonymous Coward · 2005-12-21 10:11 · Score: 1, Interesting

Seriously where is Nintendogs on that list? (or more appropriately why isn't Nintendogs on that list) It sold a lot of titles and months after its release it is still apearing on the Top 30 Japaneese Console game charts; it got rave reviews and was the first real 'system seller' for the Nintendo DS (which is now the must have gaming device in Japan).
