So who won the Operation Rainfall poll to get selected Japanese Konami games localized to the Western world?

I'm a bit late on this one, as I have been very busy. But at the end of last month, the poll at Operation Rainfall ended, with the results being quite impressive. The poll taking place between Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki and Beyond the Labyrinth had been quite a showdown, but in the end there can be only one victor. Suikoden took the lead, and by quite a decent percentage. Here are the final results for those of you who didn't have a chance to catch up.

• Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki (55%, 7,180 Votes)
• Beyond the Labyrinth (45%, 5,850 Votes)

 As you can see, Genso Suikoden took the lead by at least 10%, a Playstation Portable title that took off in Japan of 2012 and the attempt is to get this one localized to the Western part of the world. The PSP is one of my personal favorite all time systems, and probably like you I believe it hasn't gotten the attention it needs for we the fans. On a secondary note, if you yourself are a Suikoden fan, then once again feel free to get in on the cause at both the Revival Movement, and Operation Blinking Mirror.

 The attempt at both Facebook page projects is to get Konami to take a hard second look at the Suikoden series and bring it back. Both by making a Suikoden 6 game, and by bringing mega hits like Suikoden 1 and 2 to other formats like Playstation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, iOS, Android, and whatever other formats if possible. Will Konami listen?, well so far at least the UK branch of them have listened to the fans. This December when Operation Blinking Mirror is in its final phase, perhaps Konami Japan will do the same.

 

You see?, we can make a difference after all as the numbers for Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki are steadily rising

Over time, the effort to get Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki localized has been an ever so steady process, even though it seems to have slowed down a bit. So I thought I would do another post to try to get those numbers up a tad bit. Months ago, or even longer the Suikoden Revival Movement was set into motion to try to get the first two titles onto other formats such as PSN and Xbox Live. An overwhelming desire for a Suikoden 6 game was also put into interest by fans such as me, and now the group called OperationRainfall has taken another step with Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki. 

As always, the attempt is to get this PSP Japanese title localized, meaning, bringing to the Western part of the world. Calling attention to Konami is anything short of a cakewalk. The UK division of Konami however is taking a second look at the Revival Movement, and at least acknowledges the effort behind the movement. As for localizing the recent PSP game, the number of votes so far is 6,523 Votes, which is an 8% lead over the runner up "Beyond the Labyrinth". Let's continue to maintain that lead and get those vote numbers even higher still.
