Video Games: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 pushed back by the Japanese!

While it has just been postponed by Nintendo (see you next year), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is still struggling to convince Japanese players. At least, if we rely on the ranking of the most anticipated video games on the Rising Sun Archipelago. Indeed, last week, the second opus of the Switch exclusivity lost two places to fail in a very sad sixth place. This is due, in particular, to the meteoric rise of Xenoblade 3 on the same console. A highly appreciated license in Japan, which now sits on the podium. Dragon Quest X Online and Splatoon 3 are also ahead of Link’s adventures, still on Kyoto’s hybrid console. Note that Switch games monopolize the top ten. Since, apart from the unbeatable FF XVI on PS5, the following nine titles in the ranking are released on the Nintendo Switch. Here is the full hierarchy.
