It looks like the recent Gran Turismo 5 updates have perked up attention in Japan too. Famitsu's most wanted ending July 19 indicates that aside from stalwarts like Dragon Quest IX, MGS4, and Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360, PS3), Polyphony Digital's much-anticipated racing game for the PlayStation 3 finds itself among the list's top 20.

Another game that appears to have caught the population's eye is Imabi Kisou. The title's reportedly a horror game, although that's the only detail we know for the moment. And since we jotted it down in Japanese, we'd really appreciate it if the more Nihonggo-literate patrons here could let the guys know on what Imabi Kisou means in plain English.

8 ps3 games on that list. Very nice. Poor 360, only 1 game on there. It will never take off in japan and the ps3 is beating the 360 in the us as well. MS better release halo 3 early before its too late.

» inabi kisou

my japanese and my english are both not perfect but i would translate inabi kisou as "hellfire drafting" or something like this.

» Inabi Kisou

I'm full japanese, and I've lived in the U.S. for about 9 years (still am).

Inabi Kisou isn't proper japanese for all I know, and "inabi" and "kisou" both mean nothing.

This might be that someone read the kanji letters wrong, or that it's a word that the game created.

There are actually two 2UMD games. Wing Island or something and the latest Legend of Heroes.

lots of PS3 in there little ps2 looks like we might finaly be creeping out from under its shadow. it shocks me when i look at the jp release lists and main stream new releases are still all ps2 just a testemnt to its greatness i guess but it looks like they are starting to warm up to the shift a little

» wrong

resident evil 5, monster hunter 3, (lost odyssey exclusive), devil may cry 4, and (halo 3 exclusive) that counts 5 games man not 1and final fantasy 13 and metal gear solid 4 are possible for Xbox 360 as well which would take that number to 7 so please shut up

by What? - 2007-08-06 05:09
» Are you stupid?

The following are all coming out on 360:

RE 5

LO

DMC 4

Halo 3

MH 3 (IIRC)



And with MGS 4 rumors ablaze it's not looking to good for that either. FFXIII and Vs won't be out till 09, so the only game you guys are really relying on is MGS 4 in 08

by anonymous - 2007-08-06 05:17
» You people just don't get it.

It doesn't matter if RE5 is coming to 360 or not. They ONLY want the PS3 version, not the 360 version so don't bother trying to argue it.

this is japan and all they like is the last gen hardware of the wii and the jacked up price of the ps3 with no games they just want all these games for the ps3 cause there tired of playing resistance and motorstorm

» wow

you better be anonymous but I already know that your a playstation fanboy and your comment makes no sense when the Japanese gamers find out all these games are out for the Xbox 360 sales will increase for sure idiot
