[edit] Super Mario 64 DS

And just to show I'm not lying about this, this would be the relevant link. Check out the vid labelled "Gameplay Demonstration" - it clearly shows the title screen, and it says "Super Mario 64 DS". 64x4 was for the E3 thing only; the new official name is 64 DS. Shadow Hog 04:23, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ok, sorry for my paranoid change. –Andre (talk) 04:37, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
No problem, just missed the update I guess. :P Shadow Hog 15:29, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ultimate Spider-Man conflict...

I added Ultimate Spider-Man under 'U', but there is already a listing for the Ultimate Spider-Man comics of course. I don't know if we should add a seperate page for this console/handheld game version of the comics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RoyalFool (talk • contribs).

Well, It's always been when a computer or video game based on a movie comes out, it's listed under the movie. So, Toy Story for the Game Boy would be listed under Toy Story, not Toy Story (game) - Joizashmo June 30, 2005 00:02 (UTC)

[edit] Another Code / Trace Memory

One month ago, I added Another Code, as I could find it in the list. As I had the (europeen) game with me, it seemd correct to look at either "Another Code" or "Two Memories".

Jasonglchu, you removed it, saying "It's been renamed Trace Memory", which would be fine for me except:

a) My boxed game don't says Trace Memory

b) The image in the 'Trace_Memory' article don't say "Trace Memory", but is exactly the same as the one I have in my hands.

c) "Advance Wars : Dual Strike" is NOT named "Famicom Wars DS"

I am a bit lost at the rationale behind that. Are only the American titles referenced ? Can't we add both, or add the alternate name after the American one ? I mean, I really searched in the list, but couldn't find the game I had just bought... And by searching, I means ctrl-F another, ctrl-F code, ctrl-F two and ctrl-F memories... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.230.65.68 (talk • contribs).

Trace Memory is the official US name, I guess that is why it was deleted. Maybe we should consider adding the european name when it differs? -- ReyBrujo 01:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rotate and Connect Touch Panic

Jasonglchu, you removed it because it was 'unverifiable'. Well, look here: this article or at this scan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.230.65.68 (talk • contribs).

  • All right. Just checking to make sure. It might be worth mentioning that the title, Rotate and Connect Touch Panic, is only a working title. jglc | t | c 14:02, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Using country flags instead of abbreviations

After checking A Link to the Past's last edit [1], I think it would be better to use the SVG free flags. However, it may be not useful for non-graphical browsers. Just an idea. Opinions? -- ReyBrujo 02:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it could look like the List of Nintendo 64 games, or for a more simpler aproach, each flag can be added next to each game. For example, to add the flag of Japan next to a game type *''[[Anygame]]'' {{flagicon|Japan}} to add the Japanese flag. Overall, I think simple is better. Ceros 17:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Smash Bros DS

Is this real?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeldamaster3 (talk • contribs) .

Sources? -- ReyBrujo 17:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Released in AU?

What's the point in having an (AU) tag when you're not going to list all the games released in Australia?

[edit] Touch Generations

Should there be a Touch Generations tag? --Thrashmeister 18:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List Cleanup.

This list is in need of an update. References need to be added for each game. I placed the {{cleanup-list}} and {{listdev}} templates for now. Ceros 18:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Europa Universalis II

I deleted this one from the l;ist, because according to the article, this game was released in 2001 for the PC. dposse 01:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better design?

I've started to redo this page to put the design in line with the design used on List of Nintendo 64 games. You can see the work in progress here. Let me know Stump

The design for the List of Nintendo 64 games is actually based off of the List of Virtual Boy games. One of the editor's goals was to get it in line with the List of Virtual Boy games. If you want I can help out. Also, there's a way to get the setup done quickly by using a word processor and a text editor. Ceros 18:36, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WE NEED SOURCES AND CLEANUP!

Can someone please look through this article and provide sources for everything and clean it up? thanks. dposse 14:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Games that have articles don't need sourcing. Assuming they have a box art image or something at least.--SeizureDog 12:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Look up. Are you telling me that Europa Universalis II, which has an article, is an actual game for the DS? It was released in 2001. Sources will help cut down on the amount of spam and vandalism. dposse 20:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] suggestions:

1. Use the wikimedia citation program in conjuction with the nintendo website for the citations
2. While your there, why not add symbols and a legend to show types of connectivity avaible such as wi-fi, single-pak, etc.
3. Stick to the North American release names and keep the Japanese and European release names for the corresponding language section of Wikipedia, or put the alternate names in a separate article itself.
4. Adding some other external links to games that have their own site might be good.
5. Continue updating the information as new titles are released.

Re 3. This is not the American Wikipedia, it is the English Language Wikipedia. Some games released in Europe (and Great Britain) have a different English Language title to the American title. JP Godfrey (Talk to me) 20:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiLoco

WikiLoco has been making a lot of changes. Right now his actions are under scrutiny, and I'm wondering if the changes that he's making on this page are appropriate or not. They'ren't being sourced, so I do have the right to remove all of them, but it's a list, and lists like this are rarely sourced. Can anyone back up his changes here? McKay 16:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My list.

[2] Please make improvements, using Animal Crossing: Wild World as an example. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cookie&Cream

Has anyone heard about this game? I read a review about it in Nintendo Power —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.170.204.50 (talk • contribs).
