Famitsu have published a list of Japan's most hotly anticipated games, and there's still a lotta love for Nintendo exclusives.

With Famitsu's popularity so high, whatever their readership collectively utters should be taken on board quite seriously. Which is why it's so reassuring to find half a dozen Nintendo exclusives on readers' 15 most anticipated games, ranging from the ultimately popular Dragon Quest to Nintendo's own Animal Crossing. So without further ado, here is the list (in descending order) of Japan's most anticipated games of the moment:

• Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
• Dragon Quest IX (NDS, Square Enix)
• Biohazard 5 / Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Capcom)
• Dragon Quest VI (NDS, Square Enix)
