Japanese magazine Famitsu took a poll of its readers to determine the top 20 titles they want to see over the course of 2014. The results are rather surprising, with only one Wii U title making the cut, at number six. What’s interesting to note is that the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. is entirely missing from this list, while the Nintendo 3DS version managed to pop up at number 17. It speaks volumes about Japan’s priority, I think.
