Though don't you think including every US state is a bit much?

I mean who is going to look through all of them?

we can make stereotypical comments about how they vote, like how WV voted for the game with the incest scene tho!

I'm gonna like it just for looking at Tennessee's results. No way am I going to look through them all.

It may look a little nicer if SB made the states a drop-down box though. Perhaps if the continents, countries, and states each had their own drop-down box...though that may be overkill.

Going through through the Bonus Match last year, FFVII did better in the states with more Asians. It actually won in Hawaii, and did the best in CA and DC. That's what I have so far.

My state, Maryland, seems to be heavy western gaming biased. Almost all close matches between western/japanese games in the goty polls, the western game won in Maryland.

So it's basically:

Oot Support: New England, the Midwest, and parts of the South

In Crono/Vincent 2008, Vincent only beat Crono in 5 states, while Crono beat Samus in 3 states. Montana was always near the top of my favorite states list, and this will help even more!

Wyoming and Montana- these states have great taste in addition to beautiful mountains!

(Voting for OOT is never a bad thing either, but when Link and Zelda have won every contest sans L-Block in years, you should vote for FFVII).

To the 2008 contest, I think.

Tennessee and Georgia like Mario RPG a lot, too. Maybe the South just likes SNES RPGs?
