The Genso Suikoden Encyclopedia is a book, not a website. However, the book is available for purchase from several websites, such as Anime Books.

They rarely publish such things in English. Suikoden isn't a special case. This happens to most games and anime. An example would be the Tenchi Muyo Novels which have a crapload of interesting information pertaining to the series, but chances are it'll never get published in english. One reason could be lenght, another could be fear that it wont sell well among the english speaking folk. It is a risk, afterall because most people might not want to purchase such a thing. You know kids these days, they don't like to read. Ha.son_michael wrote:dammit why couldnt they publish that in english??!!!!
I hope everything is going delicious.

Knowing the popularity of Tenchi Muyo makes the Suikoden Situation just seem more dire. Tenchi Muyo's large fan base due to the now national broadcast of the anime on Cartoon Network would suggest that the supplementary materials would be more likely to be translated. The fact that these materials aren't translated doesn't bode well for our more unpopular Suikoden series.
Hopefully, with the recent explosion of Suikoden-related news/game developments, the Konami marketing department will pick up steam and we'll get more of these extras (mangas/play arts/etc.) in the future.
