[edit] Merger

  • What do you think about the merger?

  • Yeah, two lines of info does not an article make.

  • Agreed. As a new member, I may have put the 'merger banner' up, but I cannot merge them. Otherwise, I would have by now. U2 21:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discontinued?!

Why was this game discontinued? It seemed to have good reviews and I would like to know why the discontinued it in the U.S.

Chill out, dude. Seriously. Why the game was discontinued is noteworthy information to include, and a call for people who known this information is completely acceptable for a discussion board. It's precisely what the above user should have done. Now, there may be more fruitful places to learn that information so that it can be added, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked here. (Often times people knowledgeable about a topic don't know what others would be interested in.) I noticed you overlooked a topic that actually doesn't belong on Wikipedia, the one above about how to beat a certain mission. Odd. MrVoluntarist 15:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
There. Better? Now, regarding the game discontinued state and his question, my response was standard for a topic such as his/hers brought up here. I was under the impression that Talk pages were for discussion of the content in the article and changes made/to be made to it. If this person was requesting that information about the game's discontinuing be added to the article, I would have let it go. Otherwise, redirecting the person to a proper place to ask for more information should be the right thing to do here.
Well, unsigned Ivan, Gamefaqs might be an additional place deserving of this question, but here is also an appropriate place to ask. You apparently have no problem with people asking for information that would be relevant for the article, but apparently, they have to say some magic words. "Why was this game discontinued?" is, apparently, unacceptable, but "Hey, it would help the article if we included why the game was discontinued. Does anyone know?" is acceptable. Again, you really need to chill out. MrVoluntarist 13:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
This is an ATLUS game. ATLUS is renowned for having a very limited first print run, maybe a second print if the demand is high enough, but soon enough their games gets discontinued and will never be seen again.

Is the game really discontinued? I just bought the game new last week?

It could be that the game had another reprint due to demand, or the information about it being discontinued is incorrect/outdated.

The game is discontinued; the only way to find the game new is if a store still had copies of new versions of the game left or by buying it new online. As for WHY it was discontinued, I would suggest doing research on it yourself. But just so you know, finding information on why games are cancelled/discontinued isn't as easy as it sounds. In any case, the announcement of a sequel on the Wii might be enough to bring this back on the market.

Finally, I suggest you look at who made it and look at how many of their games have been discontinued... --Trance 21:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
