What video games are popular in Japan?

[FoodieSam]

I know a lot about anime, and what's popular in Japan, and I know that video games must be pretty popular but I don't know what they like to play the most. I know Pokémon Go is popular (I mean, where isn't it, ha ha). Do they play a lot of Nintendo (like Zelda and Mario) because it's Japanese? Or do they like a whole bunch of other games?
If you know a lot about games, are there any that are good for finding out stuff about Japanese history and culture?

During my travel during the year 2000 onwards, dance dance revolution and tekken was what played the most in arcades.

Cool, thanks Tara4Eva. I didn't even think about arcades. That's three different ways to play - arcade, phone and console. I wonder which is more popular?

Ever heard that song? "Video killed the radio star?" haha
The same thing happened to arcades, "Console games killed the arcade star."
haha
