Japanese gamers were surveyed as to what games they felt would be the best to leave to posterity, and the results include the expected slew of Nintendo classics and blockbuster RPGs, but also includes surprising entries such as Okami and Clannad.
The results:
1. Super Mario Brothers (NES)
2. Okami (PS2/Wii)
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
4. Tactics Ogre (SNES)
5. Dragon Quest III (NES)
6. Final Fantasy VII (PS)
7. Final Fantasy X (PS2)
8. Chronotrigger (SNES)
9. Metal Gear Solid (PS)
10. CLANNAD (PC)
The survey was conducted by Dengeki.
There is much surprise at the inclusion of Clannad (which nearly dominated a similar ranking focused on tragic storylines) and Okami, though nobody could deny the worthiness of these titles…

What happened to Sonic the Hedgehog[1 on Genesis]? Didn't that like totally move...nay, revolutionize the industry back then?
Posterity, not prosperity. Whoops...
(same Anon again...)
Well...if leaving for prosperity, I'd go with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 [on Genesis] instead. That was a whole level above the first one, methinks.
(same Anon, by the way)
Sonic and Knucles or GTFO
Yeah, I gotta admit I did like that also and especially the full Sonic 3 and Knuckles game and Knuckles in Sonic 2. (but not Blue Spheres)
Still, I think it was only ONE game for each entry on this Top 10. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is technically two games in one (otherwise I'd choose it), Knuckles in Sonic 2 is activated only after the expansion, and on its own, Sonic and Knuckles doesn't provide as much as Sonic 2 in levels (and no 2P which Sonic 2 also does better than Sonic 3 and Knuckles in my opinion) nor do you get Tails as Sonic's sidekick in Sonic and Knuckles alone. I've played S3/S&K/S3&K countless times, so I know what I'm talking about.
(also, that damn barrel in Carnival Night *shudder*...)
(same Anon as OP :P )
FFVI should be up there side by side with Chrono Trigger
It was a Jap survey. That should tell you a lot. FF X?!? LOL. Spare me.
Super Mario Brothers (1) instead of Super Mario Brothers 3 or Super Mario World? Tactics Ogre instead of Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea? No Castlevania Symphony of the Night? No Super Metroid? No beloved addictive classics like Tetris or any Pacman? And the inclusion of Final Fantasy X in any list of desirable games? This thing is just made of fail.
Castlevania???!??!
Are u serious???!!?
That game is utterly crap
The number of question marks and exclamation marks, yet no full stop after your last sentence make me disregard your opinion to an extent there is no need for me to argue with how wrong it is.
You're fucking retarded if you think FFT or Disgaea is better or more influencial than Tactics Ogre.
goddamn you fail so fucking hard.
+9999
FFX out and FFVI in
and CT top 3 for sure
Hello everyone!!!
Anybody here played SHADOW HEARTS?? that game is ten million times better than than FF XXX
+1
The Japanese have shitty taste. Big surprise.
First I was like damn that's a cool pic of Mario scrolls down to see rest of the pic...
FFFFFFFFFF****************KKKKKK! What the hell!??
Flaming Fungi!!!!!!!
Metal Gear solid and Okami. Fuck yeah. =)
No Sonic? I haven't played any of the new games but one of the originals should be on the list.
There is no Sonic because Japan hates the series for whatever reason.
Ive always wanted to know
why is there a B in mario's hat????
Because he's badass.
no San Andreas? fuck this list
Mario, piece the heavens with your, uh, mushroom!
GTAs are not that good...
final fantasy X?
best be trolling
Hrm, it seems Clannad fans are in many ways similar to fans of a little something called Twilight..
Mentioning Twilight equals execution in my world.
My sister's so hooked onto it... she makes me wanna kill myself. Or her.
No hitting women allowed, man. But you can RAEP her in case she pissed you off, or call me if you dont have the guts to do so ;)
What about mentioning Midna from the Twilight Realm? ;d
You must be fucking desperate if you're willing to screw a retarded Twilight fangirl.
FFX is fucking garbage...
You are garbage...
On the ps2 context FFX pwns
No
but... what about BATTLETOADS?!?!
Dragon Quest III, I remember playing it. The legend of Erdrick continues..
There are lots of better titles in the world.
Don't the Japs know how to import video games?
obviously not
The list would be near perfect if they replaced FFX with Resident Evil :D
Silent Hill and Dinocrisis are missing too.
chrono trigger in 8th? gtfoh ct = 1
OH GOD YES CHRONO TRIGGER IS ON THERE.
Needs moar Mother series.
He got spores on his dick from rooting the princess of the mushroom kingdom.I mean come on.ofcourse he's going to get a fungal infection from that.
You have terrible taste.
Surprised to see some of the games on the list and some other games that are a miss.I also think this game deserve to be on JP gamer list
Pokemon
Virtual Fighter 2
Sakura Taisen
Street Fighter 2
Phantasy Star
Bio Hazard

FF7
FF10
What the hell are you thinking? Christ.
screw you
on the ffvii part, at least.
lol the pic is epic!
Best stage is every green hill and marvel zone
Unfortunately sega hasn't made any decent sonic game in this past years and you should just make an account
TETRIS will always be #1
I assume FFVII and X are here as "what not to do" examples?
I just shat bricks from the pic...
long live mario and company.... haha
This is a list full of FAILURE
If its 3D = Wolfenstien / Doom / Quake
Hands down, anything else is a hash of John Carmack doing what others can't do without his 'innovative coding and stolen QUAKE SOURCE Code examples from idSoftware'
Mario is right on the money
Zelda 64, no... more like Zelda NES.
MGS needs to be up there
Where is the Tetris
Space Invaders without this where is Touhou SHUMPS?
Pong (Need I say more?)
Diablo (Hack & Slash at its Finest)
whaaaaaaaa... two final fantasies?
id take out ffx and replace it with smt nocturne or persona 3 or 4
Pwnt. No XBox games :D
+1 on topic
yeah. I played all this games in my infancy (except clannad), and the only think to change in this list is include the visual novel tsukihime(yes....one of the first works of typemoon)in the place of mgs and put ffVI in the place of ffx. I am not saying that i don't like mgs or ffx, but to put it simply there's better things....like seiken densetsu 2,3, melty blood, bahamut lagoon and inumerous others...
ffvii is everywhere!!!
... good.
That's 1 kickass Mario picture! LOL!
Big suprise, everything today is so full of fail.
Final Fantasy introduced me to RPGs but wasn't as good as some of the other FFs (like SIX! Jeez people...). 10 was the same. Six should replace both ten AND seven.
Chrono Trigger just didn't wow me as much as I expected it to, but it is by no means a bad game.
Metal Gear Solid is a good choice, IMHO.
Clannad shoulda been replaced with something else.
Uh...guess I'll close out with my personal list then.
1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Stree Fighter II
3. Mega Man II
4. Final Fantasy VI
5. Zelda: Link To The Past
6. Donkey Kong Country II
7. Metal Gear Solid
8. Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island
9. Resident Evil
10. Persona III
Oops, I mean Final Fantasy VII introduced me to RPGs.
So you're still unfamiliar with actual RPGs.
No smartass, just because it was the first doesn't mean that I think all RPGs should = Final Fantasy VII. Grandia, Megami Tensei, Wild ARMS, Front Mission, Disgaea, the list goes on. Good job showing your "open-mindedness".
Mario doesn't bother that his mushroom is on fire.
Clannad? fate stay night is better!
Final fantasy VI fixed
Agree.. where is FF VI?
Poor Kefka...
Sighs, where the hell is Xenogears, for crying out loud? Makes FF 7 and FF X pale in comparison. Final Fantasy 7 doesn't even come close to the greatness of Xenogears. Talk about fanboys. :P
geez. get your tastebuds checked.
WTF? NO KINGDOM HEARTS?
Shut up piece of shit.
clannad sugoi!!!moeee~~
CLANNAD RULES!
No Super metroid = fail list.
What, no Street Fighter 2?
It's on every console when it was out, from the Sega megadrive/genesis and Super Nintendo, PC, Amiga500, atari st; and now via virtual console/PSN/XBOX live arcade.
I AM deniying the worthiness of some of this titles. Liek Okami. That game is boring
Agreed, the game was boring.
you're dumb
If you found Okami boring, I sincerely doubt that you have a degree in quantum physics and an IQ near 160. It's significantly more likely that you rode the short bus and eat soup with a fork.
Objection!!
Okami was in fact, awesome.
'nuff said.
The fact you need to make that statement on your IQ when this situation clearly calls more for taste and common sense only shows how stupid you really are. Also I have a PhD in Psychology and a Degree in Neuroscience as well as an IQ only a little lower at 155, so you're not really impressing me.
Oh really? I have a degree in quantum physics and my IQ is somewhat around 160.
おおかみは一番だ! 馬鹿やろう!
you're boring
Mario is so badass,no wonder he's no.1
AHAHAHAHA Clannad AHAHAHAHA
Can't stop laughing.
have you even played it?
Yeah, pretty sad, isn't it?
flaming mushroom penis LOL!
Thats where he shoots his fireballs!!!
Into your asshole!!!
Dude, really. Thats all you say. Your non-existence. At least use your fucking brain.
Even though i agree with this list, the picture makes me want to flame it :P
I see what you did there.
games nowadays don't have the same emotional impact and epic feeling that some games in the past had..
That explains why there isn't any ps3/xbox360 games in the list
No Megaman?
Calling bullshit.
Suikoden 2 should be included.
That game cause me some stress, not that I can't beat it, but getting the best ending is so tiresome.
Holy Snap.
I was expecting Pokemon to be in it but I got Clannad! Way better!
Although I would have thought Kanon would have made its place instead of Clannad...
Who would have guessed? that Key was this popular...
Cheers;
NIck
