A top 100 list that doesn't include Doom is a list to be laughed at. Terrible list.

Believe me, that's a big part of Japanese culture. only now they started to lean back a bit, but even then it's common for many japanese to see foregeiners, mainly, westerners as weirdos or morons or something if i recall correctly

FFVIII sneaking in at 90. We in there bros.
Not surprised to see FFX so high. It may have had a mixed reception among jaded older fans back then, but today's older fans grew up with that game. Kind of like a Star Wars prequel type situation (although X was never as hated as the prequels).
Doom actually does have a niche Japanese fandom. The most prominent thing is their Japanese Community wad created by fans. I'd give it a solid 6 outta 10 by megawad standards, pretty fun.

People are so much into console war that not even question some amazing Nintendo Switch games out of that list.
Now just imagine what you could learn reading Twitter/Facebook.

So what exactly are you suggesting? This poll is about what your favorite games are RIGHT NOW and people answered dragon quest 5 and crono trigger?
I intentionally misled people using "subtle slickness"? To what end?
Poll: Here Are Japan's Top 100 Video Games Of All Time
Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Zelda, and Mario games are all in there
kotaku.com
Kotaku and most other articles used the words "of all time" but i used the gematsu article because it was simpler.
Just say whatever it is you wanna say, weirdo.

so just to be clear.... you think I added that to be subtle and slick (your words), and that people answered this poll based on what their current favorite games are, even though much of the list is from 30 years ago.

It wasn't there,(in the linked article)but you changed the wording.... because?

Wow they REALLY don't like western games do they? Take all the Japanese made games off this list you wouldn't have any left. Where are the western RPGs? The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout, Divinity Original Sin 2? Really almost no FPS at all either.

Because it's so easy to infer they were talking about all time when you look at the list and when the games are from. Apparently this is really hard for you.
And that's not the point. What do you think I was trying to accomplish and be subtle / slick about?

How old some games on the list are is irrelevant, many people still play older stuff and if asked what there current favorites are could name older titles.
Title was changed so it doesn't matter now anyway.

Breath of the Wild isn’t as unique as people think but things like the link waking up 100 years after an event, the "Sheikah Slate”, and shrines make breath of the Wild a complete game.

While like I said before when I asked about it I understand your issue with the title even though it’s a small issue in my opinion, it’s not just Nintendo fansites that used “of all time.” Major news sites did as well. And honestly, I don’t think it’s wrong at all. Is the term “of all time” literally word for word used in the Japanese name of the show or articles, not literally no, but they wouldn’t say it that way either as it’s implied in the meaning of the show itself.
If we want to get as literal as possible, the show was called “Voted by 50000 people all over the nation, TV game election!” TV game being the Japanese word for video game. The introduction to the show which explains the reasoning and rules for the list, which was inspired by the Tokyo Olympic opening ceremonies use of video game music, asked for people to name their favorite games of all time. The only limits were that only console games, home and portables, were included. Something that makes sense for Japan as that is what Japanese gamers view as a video game the most.
Gematsu made the decision to not use “of all time” in its article describing the list, but almost every other article has and while the Japanese show and articles didn’t use those words precisely in the title, they didn’t need to as the meaning is implied. I can understand the complaint more if it’s about what games are missing cause of the rules, then I get your issue. But really this is a small thing to really have an issue over.

I think Switch popularity plays a big role in this list, 4 Switch titles in Top-10......that, and the fact that PlayStation brand is dying in Japan
Nintendo has an enviable position right now, they have a very strong walled garden; the strongest first party line-up AND complete Japan market dominance.
And to those who say Japan doesn't matter anymore, just remember, per capita wise, Japan still has the largest gaming market in the world

Not bad really. Some great games missing and some crappy games in there but overall solid.
I was worried the top would all be kingdom hearts games after hearing sora was the most requested smash character

Suikoden 2 at #19 is a good spot, I was more surprised to see the first Suikoden on the list at all and not Suikoden V.
Let’s see your top 5 list.

No Dark Souls or Bayo 1/2 in top 100?
Dead by Daylight in the top 100 all-time?

It's a good list. I would gladly take it instead of the best 10 western AAAs of the last decade.
No need. We aren't in the 90s anymore.

That was kind of surprising but maybe Yakuza series is that rare Japanese game that’s more popular in the west?
Mine either but I still asked what your top 5 would be.

By my count there are only six western games on this list. And one of them is Ghost of Tsushima, lol.

Because Western tastes are much 'better'?Super diverse list they have going there. lol.
Call of Doodie: Subtitle, and three or four letter acronym/initialism sportsball games topping the charts every year.

Dark Souls III and Bloodbourne are on the list. Dark Souls is better than both, so I’m surprised to not see it there.

Miyamoto thanking Japan for choosing 40+ Nintendo titles to be on the list
This is Miyamoto. Thank you for voting for many Nintendo titles in the "Video Game General Election" that aired last night. It was also an opportunity to recall each scene of game development that has been repeated for nearly 40 years. We will continue to create video games that will bring new experiences to everyone.

Just read this post, very interesting info, thanks!!
This just shows you how entrenched gaming culture is in Japan, far more than in the US and West. And Japan still spends far more on gaming on per capita basis. For Sony to abandon Japan, their home base, to focus on the US and the West, that's a HUGE mistake

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
The order in which the Pokemon games are listed alone disqualifies this list.

Thats a random ass top 100.
Splatoon 1 and 2 over MGS, Zelda OOT and Super Mario 64. And MGS at 79?
Final Fantasy X over Final Fantasy 6 and 9?
Alot of it is cool but doesn’t really reflect a single persons top 100 ( definitely not mine ) just an average
I should look for my top 100, its in a excel file somewhere lol
