In late July 2026, Famitsu’s weekly poll of Japan’s most-anticipated video games listed the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time among the top ten titles, earning 376 votes alongside entries such as Pokémon Generation 10 and Grand Theft Auto VI. A week later, a refreshed “most wanted games” chart showed the newcomer Pokémon Winds and Waves leading the list with 578 votes, while the Zelda remake moved up to fourth place, indicating continued strong interest despite a lower vote count. The rankings also highlighted ongoing enthusiasm for legacy franchises like Persona 4 Revival, Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, and upcoming releases such as Grand Theft Auto VI and Persona 6. By August 10, 2026, Pokémon Winds & Waves maintained its popularity, securing the top spot in the latest Famitsu reader poll with 588 votes. The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake also saw an increase in ranking, moving to third place. The updated top ten list reflects a significant interest in upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives, which occupy five of the top ten positions. Other notable entries in the rankings include Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Persona 4 Revival, Persona 6, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, Xenoblade Genesis, Grand Theft Auto 6, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The current trends show a distribution of interest between Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 titles. In a subsequent poll conducted between July 29 and August 4, 2026, Pokémon Winds and Waves maintained its position as the number one most anticipated game. The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake saw further movement, rising to the second position in the rankings. The poll continues to highlight significant interest in titles slated for the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside high-profile PlayStation 5 releases such as Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6.
