Holy shit we’ve got some blood. Nintendo flagships have a bit of a reputation in these tournaments; they’ll put up a lot of playoff songs, but they won’t ever take home the crown. This time we’re getting that storyline out of the way quickly, as Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy 2, and Kid Icarus: Uprising are all eliminated despite many, many nominees. No idea what the record is here, but I feel like Skyward Sword might have it.

And that’s a general trend throughout the first round. A lot of highly ranked games took heavy losses here (Bastion and Xenoblade Chronicles both went from 9 songs to 2!) and there are very, very few games with more than 2 songs left.

Still, it wasn’t all revolution. Gravity Rush was our most impressive performer, entering and exiting the round with 8 songs. And NieR and the FFXIIIs remain our top 3 (XIII-2 has to share with Gravity Rush). What exciting results does next round hold?

Top 256 By Platform:

Multiplatform: 21 games (63 songs)
PSP: 17 games (35 songs)
PC: 18 games (33 songs)
Wii: 12 games (26 songs)
PS3: 11 games (26 songs)
DS: 11 games (18 songs)
3DS: 9 games (18 songs)
PS Vita: 3 games (12 songs)
Xbox 360: 5 games (10 songs)
Arcade: 4 games (5 songs)
Mobile: 3 games (4 songs)
PS2: 2 games (4 songs)
DSi: 2 games (2 songs)

Multiplatform remains our leader, but with the demise of its two flagships the Wii has plummeted out of second place, now tied with a surprisingly strong PS3. Of course, the real Sony action remains with the PSP, although Gravity Rush is keeping the Vita’s numbers surprisingly decent. Down the long tail, most everyone is still here, albeit thinned out, but we must bid adieu to “Unreleased”, that most rare and beautiful of platforms.
