Animal Crossing (Wii)‎

I strongly suggest that you don't revert edits with the edit summary "Reverted vandalism" unless that's what you're doing; wrongly accusing others of vandalism can lead to an editing block. In this case, I had improved the article by removing duplicate wikilinks, pointless placeholders for as-yet non-existent facts, etc. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 17:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

WiiConnect24

Hey SuperNESPlayer. Your recent edits to WiiConnect24 seem to suggest you are confused about what WiiConnect24 is. You removed the list of confirmed titles and instead replaced it with a link to the List of Wii Wi-Fi Connection games. I have reverted your edits because this is incorrect. WiiConnect24 is entirely different from the Wi-Fi Connection. Games may have one or both. Basically, WiiConnect24 functionality allows games to have new content downloaded at any time 24/7 without any need for the player to take any action. Wi-Fi Connection functionality allows players to play against other players. It can seem confusing until it is pointed out the differences, but they are not the same thing.

Virtual Console games and the OFLC database

You seem to have an issue concerning Star Fox 64 and the OFLC database, in particular concerning it's rating on the List of Virtual Console games (Australia). As I have pointed out, the game does appear in the database, having been rated G8+ (now PG) in 1997, however you claim that its inevitable Virtual Console release has not been rated.

Unlike the ESRB or PEGI, as we have seen so far Australia's OFLC does not generally re-rate games already classified after the introduction of the classification guidelines for video games in 1995. The only reason a review of the original classification would take place is if the game either contained enough altered content to warrant a new rating or if it was petitioned for re-review. This is why Virtual Console games released after that year are not re-rated: they are essentially unchanged from when they are first classified.

If you had bothered to check the OFLC database, you would have noticed that the three released N64 games (Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time), which were previously rated upon their original N64 release, were not re-rated for their VC release and have retained their original classification information intact. The only difference is the changing of Zelda's G8+ to a PG rating, the result of shifting to a unified film/television/game rating system in 2005. In fact, the only games that have appeared as being newly classified for VC release were games released prior to the 1995 introduction of video game classifications. By law, these games now must have an OFLC classification in order to be sold to the public and thus appear as newly rated games despite having been previously released and sold prior to 1995.

You also cite the "multiplatform" media category as evidence for a potential VC re-rating. As you can see, while the newly rated VC games use this, the previously mentioned N64 games still retain their original "Game Cart." media category.

In the end, unless Nintendo have somehow greatly expanded the game or upped the violence to Mortal Kombat levels, it is very unlikely that the OFLC will re-rate the game for Virtual Console release. Misterkillboy 23:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

To update, Lylat Wars did end up being rated PG upon its VC release on April 20th, having never been re-rated by the OFLC for this release. Misterkillboy 23:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, articles should not be moved without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

List of Virtual Console games (North America)

Just a helpful piece of advice, we only use confirmed dates for VC games. Confirmed meaning either Nintendo, Sega, Hudson Soft, or the games publisher have announced the date. TJ Spyke 22:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

But usually when a TG16 game comes out in Europe, it comes out in America the Monday after. It's happened with Splatterhouse, New Adventure Island, Dragon's Curse and other games.--SuperNESPlayer 00:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

DDR: Hottest Party

Do you have a source behind your edit claiming Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party will release this summer? The only source on the page to mention the release date merely says "late 2007." Thanks! --Herald Alberich 18:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

And actually, the date that was there before you changed it did have a source, so I'm inclined to trust it. --Herald Alberich 18:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

List of ethnic slurs

What are you doing? You removed one of the slurs with the edit summary of "removing racism", which is odd. It's a list of ethnic slurs - of course they're racist. Then you removed another one with the edit summary "prove it". There was an inline ref already in the article! Natalie 22:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Renaming Category to 'Japan'

I noticed that you changed the name of the category from 'Asia' to 'Japan' in the List of Wii games, so I shall explain why I had put down Asia in place of Japan.

It is true that Nintendo of Japan is the primary distributor for the Asian region, but simply writing 'Japan' infers that only the country of Japan receives Wii games and systems. You are partially correct in your change, as what happens is a game will be released in Japan, and then it will be imported by other countries in southeast Asia to be sold. Nintendo does have deals with various official distributors in Asia, and is expanding itself with Nintendo of Korea that will be under Nintendo of Japan. So for these reasons, and so that people are not mislead to believe that only Japan is getting these games, a more general regional term of 'Asia' has been used. -Digiwrld1 04:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Help?

Hey, I can see you've been having a couple of problems from your talk page, so would you like to me to help you out? I'll check through your contribs and let you know where you're going wrong, or what you've done well, call it mentoring if you like! I'd really like to help as you seam to have the potential to be a very good editor. Ryan Postlethwaite 22:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

List of Wii Wi-Fi Connection games / Guitar Hero III

Please, before removing or adding information to Wikipedia, check the source. You removed Guitar Hero III from the List of Wii Wi-Fi Connection games with an Edit Summary of "Nice try. GH3 will not have any WiFi", despite the fact that the provided IGN source clearly states "Guitar Hero III on Wii contains features included in other versions of the upcoming game - such as online play and downloadable music.".

History of video game consoles (seventh generation)

Please stop deleting all the handhelds from this article. Check the talk page and note that the general consensus is that the seventh generation for handhelds began in 2004, and it began for consoles for 2005. Continuing to alter the article like this is considered vandalism, so please stop. Thores 04:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Not to mention that games like Kameo and Full Auto have only appeared on next gen consoles like the 360, not handhelds like the DS. Get your facts straight. Thanks. Tehw1k1 18:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

List of Wii games

First thing--actually it is Americas, not just North America. The distributor in Latin America is pretty quick in distributing to the stores which is how the Wii launch on November 19th was able to occur in so many South American countries as well. Of course they rarely translate the game into Spanish/Portuguese, but at least it's there.

Next up, I don't personally mind it saying Japan, but limitations of space force us to combine all countries of a general region together even if a specific country will not be receiving the game or has a different release date. This is explicitly stated in the introduction, so no worries there. Nintendo has a very large market saturation, meaning they distribute their systems and games to a number of countries, but release dates are never known. In Asia, for example, countries like Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong (province of China), Thailand, and Malaysia have all seen the release/imports of the Wii, whereas countries like South Korea and China have not. And I have no clue what the status in the Philippines or Indonesia is, and unfortunately very few editors on the English Wikipedia will have access to this kind of information. As you can see, more countries than just Japan will receive these releases at the same time, and furthermore they will be released in South Korea and China eventually. For these reasons, the general term 'Asia' is used in place of Japan, and a map provided to showcase Nintendo's distribution in East Asia received from their website. If you still have question or disagree with this policy, I encourage you to post on the Talk Page first and begin a discussion. Thanks for your concern, and I hope you understand the reasoning that the regional term is preferred over a specific country. -Digiwrld1 03:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
