| Jan 8, 2024, 11:00 AM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Star Fox 64 | I can't help but think that furry Einstein would be a Schnauzer |
| Jan 8, 2024, 8:58 AM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 | Well, if Vegeta ever has to deal with Dracula, he knows what to use. |
| Jan 7, 2024, 11:34 PM | NintendOtaku | Game: Tetris | Fair enough. Thank you for your insight. I appreciate it! |
| Jan 6, 2024, 7:16 AM | Petie | Game: Tetris | He seems to have a decent head on his shoulders. I really don’t think we need to draw any more attention to that “journalist” than she’s already received. |
| Jan 5, 2024, 9:40 PM | NintendOtaku | Game: Tetris | I hope Gibson doesn’t take it personally what Jayne Secker said about this accomplishment on Sky News. |
| Jan 3, 2024, 9:33 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 | As much as personally I don't believe in the Super Mario Bros. 3 being a play thing being true, more information then a simple yes about the game's premise might be worth explaining one of these years on Mario's adventure that had him helping transformed Mushroom Kings. |
| Jan 2, 2024, 6:35 PM * | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 | IMO with a franchise like Mario, continuity and character arcs are more a restriction than benefit. Look at Luigi's Mansion, part of the appeal of those games is that they're about Luigi overcoming his fears to protect his friends - if Luigi ever became brave because "well, he's been doing this for decades without fail, of course he wouldn't be scared anymore!", the games would lose a good chunk of their diegetic charm and Luigi as a character would revert back to simply being Green Mario. In that line, I don't get why people are so frustrated by this fact about the game - it would still be a fun fictional story where "nobody is in real danger" either way, it changes nothing beyond being a cute stylistic choice. |
| Jan 2, 2024, 5:09 PM * | MehDeletingLater | Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 | Except the Mario series has never had an official timeline because they don't really care about that. When you get down to it, Super Mario Bros. has no overarching story or character development, it's basically "knight rescues damsel in distress from evil dragon" every time and they've been doing the same song and dance without end for almost 40 years. If anything, Mario and Bowser are best comparable to episodic classic cartoon short rivalries like Popeye and Bluto, or Mickey Mouse and Pete. Despite changing the setting, moments when they decide to team up or truce, or even instances where the other rival seems to win, they'll keep fighting each other the same way and Mario will always win at the end of every game because that's how it was designed in the first place. They are essentially just playing their roles and Super Mario Bros. 3 was themed as a stage play for the sake of changing things up. |
| Jan 2, 2024, 9:14 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 | An official timeline of the Mario series would be able to show that Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of Mario's adventures that he had over the years, along with more information provided by the developers. He takes on bosses, he rescues Princess Peach, he takes on power ups, he faces the usual obstacles. Saying Super Mario Bros. 3 was all a play would be like saying other games which feature a curtain like Mario Party 2 and Paper Mario were also a play, and that Mario and Bowser being enemies is all an act. |
| Jan 2, 2024, 9:05 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | With what this rating summary talks about, it makes you wonder why this remake couldn't be E10+ for Everyone 10 and up, since it does mention Suggestive Themes that are to do with Madame Flurrie. |
| Dec 31, 2023, 8:23 PM | NintendOtaku | Game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Thank you. If someone could edit that, I’d apprecitate it. |
| Dec 31, 2023, 5:39 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | I guess a certain warning wasn't around at the time of the original game's release. |
| Dec 31, 2023, 2:45 AM | VinchVolt | Game: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | I think this should be edited to clarify that the reasons behind the rating are substantially different from those behind the GameCube version's rating. Both games were rated E, but the GameCube version's rating was simply given the descriptor "Mild Cartoon Violence". GameCube version ESRB page: https://www.esrb.org/ratings/10462/paper-mario-2-the-thousand-year-door/ Switch version ESRB page: https://www.esrb.org/ratings/39494/paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door/ |
| Dec 23, 2023, 1:54 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Tomodachi Collection | Posted this without waiting to see if there'd be another game dedicated to the Miis in the next year from now, like say something in the form of Tomodachi. |
| Dec 22, 2023, 4:59 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Zoo Tycoon | In all fairness, the Megatherium and Macrauchenia are Ice Age animals in Zoo Tycoon that don't have the Tundra biome, so a fair point is made about the Meiolania. |
| Dec 22, 2023, 12:07 AM | Petie | Game: Super Mario RPG | For reference, that rule also applies to sites like Wikipedia though for them, an actual source is usually linked which makes it much easier to deal with - you can use Wikipedia to do your research and then just link to the source they link to, assuming it matches up. TCRF is 100% fine but more an exception to the rule as it's still user-editable but as you said, with much better quality control. |
| Dec 21, 2023, 1:54 AM | VinchVolt | Game: Super Mario RPG | Yeah, that looks good. Also, just to correct my earlier remark, the rule was specifically against fan wikis; the Cutting Room Floor is permitted as a source because it tends to have stronger quality control. I mention it because I and others have cited TCRF plenty of times in the past, and because it includes documentation of regional differences between games (though the Super Mario RPG remake doesn't have a page there yet). |
| Dec 20, 2023, 9:49 PM * | AppeltaartVrouw | Game: Super Mario RPG | I was aware of that rule, but even with different Google queries I found different sources hard to find, so I inserted this as it was the best I could find. After looking through some more sources that were used for other trivia, are YouTube videos containing gameplay in those languages valid sources instead? EDIT: I've found videos from Nintendo's official YouTube channels in Dutch and Spanish containing the localized save blocks. I will be adding those to the sources, though I will keep the MarioWiki reference because it is where I got the Spanish translation for "to save" from. |
| Dec 20, 2023, 9:14 PM | VinchVolt | Game: Super Mario RPG | IIRC wiki sites aren't recommended as sources because of their malleable nature. Would be ideal to find more reliable sources if possible. |
| Dec 19, 2023, 6:29 PM | ZaderLewis | Game: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney | This is the wildest one yet! |
| Dec 19, 2023, 11:49 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Star Fox Adventures | Glad it did release in the nick of time. Otherwise the Star Fox voice chats in Melee based on how they were teasing Star Fox Adventures would've been pointless. |
| Dec 18, 2023, 1:49 PM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 | Another thing about the Angry Sun in the NSMBU style of SMM2 is that it looks more like something mesoamerican. Little did the devs of SMM2 know about this in terms of a 3 Dimensional Angry Sun: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/newersupermariobroswii/images/4/40/Angrysun.png |
| Dec 15, 2023, 5:56 AM | Petie | Game: Bayonetta | In most cases, it's not necessary. If the boxart is significantly different on IGDB and should be reflected here, an email or a report on a piece of trivia for the game would work. The banner is less important and may or may not update as well. I'll re-link this game now though the boxart on IGDB isn't all that different at the moment. |
| Dec 15, 2023, 4:47 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Bayonetta | Pages themselves don't really have a report function to be updated like submissions do, so what would be the best way to go with having the boxart and banner update to reflect how they updated on IGDB? |
| Dec 13, 2023, 6:20 AM | Petie | Game: Bayonetta | Artwork is not included as part of the automated update process. |
| Dec 12, 2023, 12:28 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Bayonetta | I have come to see that it usually takes to the end of the week for games to reflect how they are on IGDB in terms listing collection, franchises, platforms, companies and genres, but how long does it usually take for things to update when a game page on IGDB changes it's boxart and adds or removes screenshots? |
| Dec 10, 2023, 2:30 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Snowboard Kids 2 | That's not necessarily true, there are plenty of games that have only released in Australia, most notably the AFL series. |
| Dec 10, 2023, 9:08 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Snowboard Kids 2 | Hold the phone, I'm pretty sure that any game that doesn't release in Europe also doesn't release in Australia and vice versa, considering that they're PAL Regions (plus games in Australia are always like they are in Europe). |
| Dec 9, 2023, 2:57 AM | Kirby Inhales Jotaro | Game: God of War Ragnarök | Those call of duty devs are babies for that |
| Dec 8, 2023, 10:06 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Star Fox Adventures | Do you have a source for this or your comment on Tiptup? |
| Dec 7, 2023, 2:36 PM | Camjo-Z | Game: Star Fox Adventures | Did you know Star Fox 64 almost ended up on the XBox instead of the GameCube? That's right, Nintendo considered bringing Fox McCloud's fight to a whole new console, but ultimately decided against it. It would have been pretty wild to see him blastin' Andross on a different system, wouldn't it? Just goes to show you, even in the high-stakes world of game development, things can take unexpected turns! |
| Dec 7, 2023, 2:31 PM | Camjo-Z | Game: Banjo-Kazooie | While Tiptup is most commonly associated with the Banjo-Kazooie franchise due to his appearances in various games, he was actually originally conceived as a character for the Donkey Kong universe. This early iteration of Tiptup was designed for a game called Dream, which ultimately morphed into the project that became Banjo-Kazooie. Though he eventually ended up in a different game, Tiptup's origins lie in the world of Donkey Kong, making him a fascinating character with a crossover history. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 11:53 PM | Petie | Game: Street Fighter | I'm personally inclined to say no. It adds clutter without any real benefit to the site though I'm perfectly willing to listen to arguments as to why they should be included. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 11:48 PM | ZpaceJ0ck0 | Game: Street Fighter | Um... do we need a separate page for cancelled ports? Just asking. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 3:49 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Star Fox Adventures | I'm seeing the attachment you're describing on the submission, you might need to clear out your browser's cached data for this site. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 3:08 PM | Dinoman96 | Game: Star Fox Adventures | I keep trying to upload a version that has snippets of the DP EarthWalker design from the 4koma Manga as well as the ShadowHunter appearing on the JP boxart, but it's not showing up here, even after my revisions being approved. What gives? |
| Dec 6, 2023, 6:43 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution | Thanks for noticing what I had to say and allowing this submission to be moved to a page for the game being referred to. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 3:39 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution | Can't seem to think of the right words to use with updating this submission about the game undergoing what Star Fox 2 underwent. |
| Dec 6, 2023, 12:33 AM | chocolatejr9 | Game: Just Dance 2023 Edition | That's on me. I've been seeing a lot of people talk about how Just Dance suddenly has lore, and decided to look into it for clarity. Thinking about it, I probably shouldn't have worded it like an ad for the game... |
| Dec 5, 2023, 11:43 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Just Dance 2023 Edition | I flip-flopped on keeping or deleting this, but I found a more specific quote in one of the sources about why they added the story mode so I edited it down to ditch the plot summary and include that. I think this series suddenly trying to implement a story after over a decade of churning out games as often as Call of Duty is kind of bizarre. |
