New Import Games Rankings Archive Layout

Author

» » » » » »

So I finally sat down and did a little script to automate the generation of the Rankings archive, which previously had to be updated by hand by yours truly.

Of course, I got in the zone and came up with a really nice presentation that shows lots of info, such as the number of games for each console appearing in each Ranking, and threw in the percentage for good measure. It’s now very easy to understanding how Nintendo is dominating Japan with the Nintendo DS and Nontendo Wii!

You can check it out by clicking on the “Rankings” button at the top, by simply following this link to the Japanese Video Games Rankings Archive

Heroes of Mana is the latest entry in the famous action RPG Mana series, developped by Square-Enix, and also marks the first appearance of the series on the portable console. You should pay close attention to this game because Square-Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings appears to borrow heavily from this game.

NeoGaf Epic Thread Alert - Wow EB just really stuck it to the PSP

Epic Thread: Wow EB just really stuck it to the PSP - NeoGAF

It started with this image,

Trade your PSP for a DS Lite Image

Then, in the middle of page 4, ManaKnight comments:
Looking at that ad makes me want to never shop at EB again, even if they are my only choice. I personally think the PSP is way better than the DS.

No, Sony has been giving PSP pretty good support. Not the support PS3 will be getting and what PS2 got, but still pretty good. PSP is definitely the most amazing handheld ever.

I’m reporting this to SCEA asap.

Good times.
