[edit] Logo

I uploaded the logo, but for some reason it's not showing up on the page in the infobox. I've done other pictures, but this one doesn't seem to want to work:

[edit] Citation on BW1 not needed

BW1s short commings do not need citation, as it is a matter of opinion, except that every major Game Reviwing Media agreed on those shortcomings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.119.67.43 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:WEASEL. Matters of opinion need to be cited even more than matters of fact. If every major "Game Reviwing Media" agreed on those shortcomings, then it shouldn't be too hard to cite one or two to verify those claims. Dancter 05:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

Have they planned a relase date for this game yet?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ice12 (talkcontribs).

No release date has been announced yet. Also, remember to sign your comments. TJ Spyke 00:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay thank you. User:Ice12 15:21, 8 November 2006

[edit] Recent fake changes

Now that this article showed up on digg, someone felt it necessary to make false changes the article. Reverting to previous version

[edit] Screenshots

Does anybody have screenshots of the game which could spice up this currently unattractive article?--Arkracer 22:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, there are pics out there. TJ Spyke 00:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

There are many on some of the references in this article and there are 2 in a wii booklet I received, should I try and add any? Henchman 2000 19:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure, just make sure to follow Wikipedia:Image use policy. TJ Spyke 00:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I have copied an image, but how do I add it to Wikipedia? Henchman 2000 14:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Read the instructions here: [1] TJ Spyke 22:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real World Parallels?

If the storyline synopsis proves to be accurate, then perhaps the article should mention the parallels with the invasion of Iraq? The stuff about pre-emptive attacks and development of superweapons is pretty obvious, and "Anglo Isles" isn't too far from "British Isles" or "England". Obviously it's speculation without a source, but I'd be very surprised if the game's makers aren't going for a bit of satire there. Kelvingreen 17:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I think you answered your own question there. :)
Since it's just speculation (and original research), no, it can't be included. But, besides, I wouldn't really read too much into that kind of thing anyways. Japanese games (and other media, for that matter) are notorious for lifting incredible amounts of their content (at least at the superficial level) from events, folklore, religion, etc. It's just the status quo here. Bladestorm 17:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you sick in the head bladestorm? BWII is not from japan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.64.60.91 (talk • contribs).

Although being developed in the UK IIRC, there is no doubt still Japanese influence because it's a Nintendo property. Geoff B 22:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wi-Fi

This is listed as a Wi-Fi game, however this artical doesn't mention anything about Wi-Fi. There should be some sorces here. Flaming Mustang 04:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... You're right. I know that one of the wii articles explains that inclusion... (As far as I know, online hasn't been confirmed yet, but apparently the demonstration version they had set up could directly connect two wii's together wirelessly. They had a link to the ign article.) I'd look it up for you, but when I'm online at home, I'm on dialup (ugh). Bladestorm 04:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Returning nations

The citation tag should be removed as each nation appears as playable on screenshots. Henchman 2000 11:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

It might 'appear' that way, but it's not verifiable. Until a source is found, the citation tag should stay in place. Geoff B 12:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
