AM-Net's most anticipated arcade games of 2008

AM-Net has posted a public poll asking what your most anticipated arcade game is for 2008. Currently, Namco's Tekken 6 leads the voting with just under a quarter of the votes being cast for the latest entry in the company's ever popular Tekken series. Considering the success of Dark Resurrection in arcades over this past year in Japan, this shouldn't be a surprise that most gamers most anticipated arcade release just so happens to be the follow up in the franchise.

The top 10 is rounded out by Derby Owners Club 2008: Feel the Rush, BeatmaniaIIDX DJ Troopers, Street Fighter 4, Gundam vs. Gundam, Eternal Wheel, Lord of Vermilion, Horseriders, Quiz Magic Academy 5, and Arcana Heart 2.

Voting remains open until the 14th of January, so head over to AM-net if you want to cast a vote for a game you look forward to playing this year. If anything can be said about these polls, they definitely showcase the diversity of the Japanese arcade industry.

Derby Owners Club 2008 is 1st, and Tekken 6 is 2nd. I can't believe SF4 is only 5th!!; January 21, 2008 4:57 AM
