Talk:The Portopia Serial Murder Case

Voted order

Portopia was actually voted Japan's 32nd favourite Famicom game, as highlighted by the Famitsu poll in 2003, done in conjunction with Enterbain. SOURCE and translation of said list: http://www.ntsc-uk.com/feature.php?featuretype=ret&fea=FamicomHistory

The 1UP source for it being 19th is dead, and besides which, it is incorrect. I would change the article, but every time I fix a factual mistake on Wikipedia, some hotshot editor reverts it on grounds of vandalism or not enough sources. So, I leave it to you, to sort this mess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.136.48.187 (talk) 13:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, don't really know how to use wiki. Anyway, added the MGS V Refference at the bottom. Users are actually on a (possible) witch hunt, and this game's loader has been found on ALL versions of MGS V. Hideo has mentioned this one game has inspired him to start a gaming carreer so there's also that. Not the best english, if someone could clean in up...

Good article

Although short, I see no aspects of the coverage that are underdeveloped or missing, making this a great example of a good article. I note with particular surprise that is almost all the product of a single author -great work! Phil Sandifer 19:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Article name

Shouldn't the article use the original Japanese name because the game doesn't have an official English name. --Mika1h 19:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, there is no guideline that says that Japanese names must always be used over "unofficial" English names. The current guidelines are to use the most common title, even if this most common title is unofficial. It has recently been discussed at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#Video game article naming conventions - proposal, but the result was that the current rule is fine.

Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken → The Portopia Serial Murder Case – While the game has never been translated, many reliable sources use this or another English name, usually this one. None of them use the Japanese name. Per WP:ENG and WP:COMMONNAME we prefer the most commonly used English name. Even if, as in this example, a title hasn't been translated, it is still commonly known by its English name that's what we use. Most of these sources use it because of Yuji Horii's fame and talk about the game.∞陣内Jinnai 04:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
