The Amusement Journal Highlights the Most Popular Games at the AM Show

The Amusement Journal has highlighted the most popular games over the course of the past 3 days of the Amusement Show in Japan. Expectedly, Tekken 6 took the top spot on Day 1 and Day 2 of the event, but was surprisingly beat out on Day 3 by Deathsmiles. A lot of this can probably be attributed to the Day 3 lines that Tekken 6 was experiencing, which at one point was said to have reached about a 3-4 hour wait just to get some hands on time with the title.

I've posted the top 10 arcade games (excluding the list of prize and medal games which can be found here) on each day below for those interested:

6. Sega Race TV (Sega/AM-Plus)

The Gundam vs. Gundam videos shown were just the small promo to open Banpresto's exhibit. There wasn't any official "hands on" time available for anyone at the event. However they did state that there will be a location test scheduled very soon and to keep an eye on their website for that announcement.
