Twelve titles qualified for Tokyo Games Show organiser CESA’s ‘best in show’ list, highlighting what the organiser feels were the top forthcoming titles for all consoles.  Five of the games were Wii and DS titles, with the home console having one more game to shout about than its handheld cousin.

On Wii, Sega’s 428 (a quirky sound novel we’ll never see in the west) and Yuji Naka’s controller-free Let’s Tap were both celebrated while Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri made a predictable appearance. On the DS, Dragon Quest IX got the judges all hot and bothered while potential WiiWii.tv Game of 2009 Gyakuten Kenji (an adventure set in the Phoenix Wright universe where you play as prosecutor Miles Edgeworth - DO WANT) also made the cut.

Of course, it’s bound to be pure coincidence that all the games on the list were from the show’s biggest Japanese publishers - Capcom, Sony, Sega, Square-Enix and Namco-Bandai. Yep, definitely an odd quirk of fate, that.

Thanks, Game | Life
