[edit] Why Two Articles?

This information is nearly identical to what is found at Square Enix Ultimate Hits. I believe the program is Square Enix's doing, not Sony's. Can anyone find a Ultimate Hits title that is not a SE game? If not, I think these two articles should be merged, with Square Enix Ultimate Hits being the surviving name.

I believe it's not only exclusively Square-Enix. I have seen games such as Tekken 3 as Ultimate Hits. Sorry, I can't be bothered to sign in because of slow internet connection in my home, Indonesia. I'm User:W Tanoto.--202.148.19.15 12:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I definitely know that there are other ultimate hits. It's odd that there is a Sqaure-Enix list. The lists can be merged by creating a table to identify the company that created the game. 71.82.161.14 14:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
If Ultimate Hits is a Sony thing, then how come even Square-Enix GBA games are Ultimate Hits, as stated in the other Ultimate Hits article? If you want confirmation, just browse Play-Asia. This article here should be deleted. If you think you've seen Tekken 3 as Ultimate Hits, it mostly like was a Platinum, or some bootleg. SoulSlayer 13:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
No, it is definitely Ultimate Hits, and not greatest hits. I remember it clearly. I saw it at changi airport (no bootleg there) when I was 10-15 year old, and just started to learn english. The word "HIT" stick to my mind. The other words in the case are in japanese. I understand that XBOX and Nintendo have the same system. I know that XBOX's name for that system is similar to those of playstation (i think it's platinum). not sure about nintendo.--w_tanoto 13:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Ultimate Hits is a Square Enix branding. Sony's budget branding in Japan is "the Best", as in "PlayStation the Best", "PlayStation 2 the Best", "PSP the Best", and if the PS3 follows suit, "PLAYSTATION 3 the Best". This can clearly be seen for Tekken 3 when you check the Namco page. Dancter 05:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
He's right. Ultimate Hits is Square-Enix's own thing--that's why it does show on GameBoy Advance games. Japanese PlayStation branding for best sellers is, as stated, "the Best". For PlayStation2 and PlayStation Portable games, for example, the normal black color scheme is substituted in a way similar to Xbox Platinum Hits. The black strip at the top is substituted for a yellow one and the front cover is bordered with gray with the words, "THE BEST", circled. In short--this article should not even be, as Square-Enix Ultimate Hits talks about the exact same thing. C. Foultz 23:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
