After spending a few weeks on top of Famitsu’s weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games, last weekFinal Fantasy 16 fell to second place, being overtaken by upcoming Switch RPG Shin Megami Tensei 5. In the newest charts, the PS5 exclusive has retaken the pole position, with a pretty healthy lead of votes over Shin Megami Tensei 5, which drops back down to second place.

Bayonetta 3, which was in third place last week, retains its position, while Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl climb up to fourth place. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s sequel has fallen to No. 6, with Splatoon 3 moving up to fifth place instead.

The entire top 10, incidentally, is dominated almost entirely by upcoming Switch games. Other than Final Fantasy 16 at No. 1 and the PS5 version of Gran Turismo 7 at No. 10, all other games in the top 10 are Switch title, including Pokemon Legends: Arceus at No. 7 and Triangle Strategy at No. 9.
