A ranking of the best selling eroge of 2009 delivers few surprises, with a selection of impressive if staid titles dominating the ranking.
Overall eroge industry rankings aren’t compiled as they are in other markets, but major retailer Getchu’s ranking will serve as a reasonable proxy:
1. Maji-de Watashi-ni Koi Shinasai!! / 真剣（マジ）で私に恋しなさい!! (2009/08/2)
2. Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na -Moonlight Cradle- / 夜明け前より瑠璃色な -Moonlight Cradle- (2009/02/27)
3. Mashiro-iro Symphony / ましろ色シンフォニー (2009/10/30)
4. Tayutama –It’s Happy Days- / タユタマ –It’s happy days- (2009/05/29)
5. Tenshin Ranman Lucky or UNLUCKY!? / 天神乱漫 LUCKY or UNLUCKY!? (2009/05/29)
6. Alice 2010 / アリス2010 (2009/12/1)
7. Himegari Dungeon Meister / 姫狩りダンジョンマイスター(2009/04/24)
8. Shukufuku no Camppanella / 祝福のカンパネラ (2009/01/30)
9. SHUFFLE! Essence+ (2009/10/3)
10. BALDR SKY Dive2 “RECORDARE” (2009/11/2)
Not the most eclectic selection, perhaps unsurprising in light of the otaku consumer’s obsession with generic moe character yarns.
i have $ome of tho$e but it got wa$ted $ince i can’t
under$tand japane$e text $o it’$ a big di$apointment
i dont have time to brow$e the japane$e engli$h dictionary becau$e $ome of them are not even accurate even though i have watched ton$ of anime’$ and $tuff
i $till can’t read hiragana, or kanji i hope they get
tran$lated to engli$h. i dont have time to go to a japane$e learning $chool becau$e i have a job $o it
$uck$ for me.
Hehe, it’s good to see Himegari in the list.
Out of 2009 top eroge,4 already have an anime/future adaption..
Wonder when eroges with lot more story like Baldr Sky or Majikoi will receive one..
Tayutama, Alice 2010, and Shuffle are the only ones i know, not really big on eroge :p
That’s too bad. You’re missing out on a lot of great stuff.
