Chart Attack! Japanese Top 20 (2/16 - 2/22)

There's big circulating medium to be had in repackaging last year's bestsellers and tossing in a scarcely any odd additions to create a "perfect" version of a game, which have also been known to advance as "Maniacs" or "International" editions. Case in point: sum of two units of this week's bestsellers were in fact bestsellers following their first appearances last year, and have again cleaned up with sole a few extras to help them along. Dengeki Online, however, was finisheded in its first and general iteration.

The fans just can't secure enough of Konami's World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International, which originally broke the 1000000 mark last year in a matter of weeks, a feat the International edition may true well come close to, if not mimic. The game's wealth of language fashions truly justifies its International label; speakers of English, French German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish are all welcome to earn their soccer on.

Debuting at number 4 is Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Missions, which to be fair contains slightly more than just English voices. In addition to all-new dresspheres (the Kimono and Psychiccer outfits), the girls are given single last mission (hence the title) after the extreme point of the game: the Tower of Yadonoki. Several extra fashions including a monster taming minigame have also been included. Importers not liquid in Japanese may be dismayed to note that the Last Mission is the sole part of the game not available in English.

In next to the first place you'll notice another Gundam title — SD Gundam G Generation Se — and a bit farther down, Aruze's abundant anticipated Shadow Hearts II. The latter was also available in a Limited Edition package along with a bevy of goodies, including a metal cros necklace that might entice indecisive goth gamers into purchasing the game, as well as a cellphone strap, a pair of table coasters (Aruze knows a gamer's priorities) and a actual attractive artwork and data DVD And not contented with a mere #1 bestseller, Konami also has Pop'n Music 9 nestl comfortably in the #12 spot, beating without the majority of the Famicom Mini series (excepting Miyamoto's immortal Super Mario Bro and The fable of Zelda, of course).
