Super Mario RPG

Is this legitimate?

The game's listed at the site's "top 10 retro DLC games" wishlist, which makes the whole story look really weird. Litis (talk) 08:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Legitimate, but not reliable. Anyone with common sense can figure out that it'll be released soon; it's already been released in both Japan and Europe. Common sense is not a reliable source on Wikipedia, though, so it won't appear on this page until it's either confirmed or released. VDZ (talk) 20:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

A "wishlist" doesn't mean anything. It's just that, a list of games they WISH would appear on the service. Hell, it's not even just for Nintendo. It's a list of all systems that are "dead" (i.e. not still getting new games on a regular basis). Being released in other territories does help the chances, but it won't be listed on this page without a reliable source (i.e. ESRB listing, Nintendo announcing, etc.).

I think that was exactly the point. If it's on a wishlist, that would suggest that there hasn't been any announcement of it coming to the Virtual Console, contradicting the first link, which suggests that it IS coming to the Virtual Console. It's quite simple; the guy writing the stuff in the first link used common sense to tell that it'll be coming to the US soon, while the guy writing the stuff in the second link is not sure if it'll be released in the US, and put it on his wishlist.VDZ (talk) 14:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

ESRB rating for Parodius? (TG16/PCE import)

Judging from a recent ESRB rating (http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp?searchType=title&platformsCriteria=Wii&titleOrPublisher=Star%20Parodius) we could potentially be seeing the PC Engine port of Parodius. I didn't put this up on the main page because the name given on the rating is peculiar, and doesn't coincide with the original title (why is there an unneeded "Star" there on the ESRB rating?). Although the game is from Konami, Hudson has been listed for all of the TG16 ESRB ratings, even if they're actually from other companies. Star Parodier has already been rated, so it likely isn't an error from that prior rating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.106.6.187 (talk) 13:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Well I can think of two things that might have happened. First, ESRB missed marked it or thought it was from the same series; or That is what Konami and Hudson will call the series in North America. I say it's a go to add it and I'll put the title that the ESRB shows but link it to the original title. Neo Samus (talk) 19:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
