This is from IGN Japan
TOP TEN ARCADES
(10/17 to 10/23)
PlayMore's The King of Fighters 2002 enters the chart at number 8. Sigh... couldn't they have at least used the "SNK" name for publishing purposes? I just don't feel like playing a game made by a company called "PlayMore." I don't have time to play more than I currently play. Bastards.
Here's how this arcade chart is assembled. 12 game centers through the country send Famitsu their sales information. This chart is based on the sales totals for a full week... from those twelve game centers and those twelve game centers only. Big game centers, no doubt, but only twelve out of the thousands located throughout the nation.


1. World Club Championship Football - Sega
2. Sega Yonnin Uchi Mahjong MJ - Sega
3. Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution - Sega
4. Soul Calibur 2 - Namco
5. Taiko no Tatsujin 3 - Namco
6. Initial D Arcade Stage - Sega
7. Gundam: Federation vs Geon DX - Banpresto
8. The King of Fighters 2002 - PlayMore
9. Guilty Gear XX - Sammy
10. Necchu! Pro Baseball 2002 - Namco

Interesting comments at the beginning. Prolly shouldn't have posted this as its from Insider but they give out trials so much it prolly don't matter. Anyway's if you like to read about a lot of stuff going on in Gaming Japan insider is a worthwile read.

Peace

For My local Arcade, its seem to be No#1 everywhere.
Everybody only wants to play KOF2K2.

The main thing I see is that KOF2002 beat the high rez Guilty Gear XX, which says A LOT.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but GGXX has been on the list for a lot longer... :p

Things generally do fall as they get older you know!

GGXX has been on their charts forever and a day. And to think I've yet to see it... :(

It'll be interesting to see how long KOF 2002 stays on the charts. I still remember when KOF '97 and '98 were around, the two of them (combined) were in their top twenty for more than 2 1/2 years!

Isn't World Club a Triforce game?

I was surprised to see a Mahjong game so high. I like Mahjong just fine, it's a lot of fun, but that is a bit of a shock.

Must be some really cool Mahjong.

Buhu, i´m crying, if i read posts like that... *just kidding*

I wish nearly every day, that a videogames-center would be opened in Germany, maybe in Hamburg or Berlin too, where i can play actual Neo-Games... *dream on* <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />
