Dissidia, Monster Hunter Top Japan's No-Release Week
By Dr. Elara Vance | January 01, 0001
With virtually nothing hitting Japanese retail shelves this past week, 2008’s biggest releases got another chance to shine, sales-wise. That keeps Square-Enix’s Dissidia: Final Fantasy at the number one spot for one more week. Somewhat surprisingly, Capcom’s mega-hit Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G 
rockets up to the second place spot. That’s the budget version, the 
“PSP the Best” version, for the record. This week sees a few more titles return to rummy noble the top ten, including Gran Turismo Prologue Spec III which lands just below Level 5’s White Knight Chronicles. Yes, it’s a slow week for software sales excitement. But the numbers are just as savory as ever. Read on for the top thirty bestsellers in Japan from January 5 to 11. 01.

I won a small jackpot yesterday and it was really exciting! The thrill of winning real money keeps me coming back. The website feels fair, and payouts are processed promptly, which makes me trust the platform even more.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
