Talk:Wario's Woods

Nintendo Power reference

The line, "Because Nintendo Power ceased coverage of NES games starting with its March 1994 issue (the NES version was released in December that year), it only reviewed the SNES version of Wario's Woods, awarding it a score of 3.375 out of 5.[16]" is inaccurate, and its citation is to a different video game website with it's own erroneous citation. This game was in fact the last NES game reviewed by Nintendo Power, in its December 1994 issue. They significantly reduced the number of NES games they covered through 1994, but didn't actually stop until the NES was done.

I'd edit the page myself, but this would be my first time contributing to Wikipedia and I have no idea what I'm doing. (I even had to look up how to post this comment). In order to make a citation for this information, I'd have to direct readers to a webpage with scanned versions of old Nintendo Power magazines, and I don't know if that's kosher with regard to Wikipedia rules.

WP:VG assessment

I have assessed this as C-Class. This is getting towards a possible B-Class. Here are a few quick suggestions for improvement:

• Make sure you can provide a reference for everything in that "Gameplay" section and not just part of it. I think the December 1994 issue of Nintendo Power, which covered this final NES game, does go into some gameplay detail which may be helpful here.
• Like Wario no Mori Bakushō Bājon, Wario no Mori: Futatabi is also very similar to the SNES release except for a few minor differences. → sounds like original research and recommend outright deleting that as there is also little relevance (I mean, all these Mario puzzle games were virtually identical as they were merely ported across all the Nintendo consoles).
• There should be some more "Reception" material out there, given that this was the final NES game released in North America as well as the fact that it was released for the Virtual Console (i.e. most major video game websites should have reviewed this).

Otherwise, this is a good start, so far. Keep working on improvements and expansion when you can. –MuZemike 00:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Just to clarify on the referencing, I meant to say that your referencing was inconsistent, but you are correct in that it's fine to include just one citation at the end of whatever you're referencing (or the end of the paragraph, whichever comes first). Also, here are a couple more reception sources that I found online:

• Calvert, Darren (November 20, 2006). "Wario's Woods (Virtual Console) review". Nintendo Life. Retrieved January 21, 2011. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= and |date= (help)
• Thomas, Lucas M. (December 6, 2006). "Wario's Woods Virtual Console Review". IGN. Retrieved January 21, 2011. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= and |date= (help)
• Thomas, Aaron (January 10, 2007). "Wario's Woods Review". GameSpot. Retrieved January 21, 2011. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= and |date= (help)

The following sources rumors at a possible Wii remake (don't think it was ever confirmed, though):

• Fletcher, JC (March 21, 2008). "Rumor: Screens of a new Wario's Woods? [update]". Joystiq. Retrieved January 21, 2011. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= and |date= (help)

Hope this helps a little more. I'll see if I can dig up that Nintendo Power issue. –MuZemike 21:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

The Gamespot and IGN reviews are already mentioned in the article, and the Wii remake was confirmed to be a hoax. I did add two new reviews from Allgame, and referenced even more areas of the article. I'll add material from the new review by Darren Calvert shortly.--ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Added the Nintendo Life review and referenced many more areas. Think this might be ready for B-class? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, looks good enough for B-Class, now. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. –MuZemike 02:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

PAL version of the SNES game

I found an image of a PAL boxart, cassette & instruction booklet of a PAL version of the SNES version of the game, proof that the SNES version wasn't only released in North America. "The image can be found here".

Can I add that this is Toad’s 1st starring game?

Toad isn’t the main character of any previous games Tttttoad (talk) 18:16, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
