During the week of July 29 – August 4, 2024, the widely-loved baseball game Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025 maintained its leading position in Japanese game sales, while two new games made their debut in the Top 30.
Dokapo: Sword of Fury, a remaster of a PlayStation original turn-based RPG/board/party game featuring updated art style and online battles. In this board game, the objective is to become the richest player by accumulating the most assets. To achieve this, players must battle monsters, steal items, rob stores, and even defeat their friends. The game features unique events like the Tenka Ippin Battle tournament and alliance systems to help maximize profits.
Next in line is Hiiro no Kakera ~Omoi Iro no Kioku~ for Nintendo Switch. It is a visual novel about a young girl who discovers her destiny as the Tamayori-hime, a priestess with the power to seal away evil spirits. As she adjusts to her new reality, she builds relationships with a group of protectors and discovers the secrets of her ancestry.
