Darlings, Japanese fans are still head-over-heels for Pokémon Winds & Waves, locking it in at number one with 678 votes in the latest Famitsu poll while the rest of the chart tries to catch up. Splatoon Raiders follows close with 562, and Persona 4 Revival rounds out the top three at 456 — proof that players want concrete details on these projects more than ever. The votes rolled in between June 3 and 9, and even with newcomers like Anomalith sneaking onto the list at the bottom, nothing’s knocking the big three off their pedestal yet.

That dominance says plenty about what’s got everyone’s attention in Japan right now: a pair of Pokémon titles set for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, a single-player Splatoon spin-off, and Atlus’s take on bringing back the classic Persona 4 experience. Meanwhile, big Western titles like GTA 6 only managed seventh place with 246 votes, showing where local tastes lean hardest. The chart stays stacked with Switch and PS5 hopes, from Goemon revivals to Fire Emblem entries, but the top three keep pulling the biggest numbers without any fresh trailers or release windows to fuel the fire.

Sources close to the scene aren’t expecting major reveals anytime soon, so these polls are basically the community’s way of screaming “more info, please” at the publishers. Until then, the numbers just keep climbing for the same three darlings week after week.
