Original release dates

Would it be a good idea to add give the tables separate "Original release" and "VC release" release date columns? --68.44.13.218 (talk) 21:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Maybe. I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I would like to hear the general opinion. TJ Spyke 21:55, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

There are many, many possible fields of data that could hypothetically be slapped on there. Developer, number of players, types of compatible controllers, Wii Points, you name it. For detailed information on a game, click on the link to its article. --Cheesemeister3k (talk) 18:23, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of developer, maybe we should talk with the people who edit the PAL VC list and come up with 1 unified format. We use publisher (the current publisher, I think we should use the original publisher) while they list the developer instead. TJ Spyke 18:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

All three seem abitrary to me, but developer seems like the one most likely to tell the reader something about the actual game. --DocumentN (talk) 21:54, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Wii Points would be a good inclusion too, since it'd be a step toward merging all the lists into one, which could then be sorted any way a user wanted. --DocumentN (talk) 21:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Each section has the Wii Points added though. Versus22 _talk 00:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The point is that putting the prices into the actual tables would reduce the need to have multiple separate tables with separate commentary. --DocumentN (talk) 06:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Is there any objection to putting in the developer? There doesn't seem to be much discussion, so maybe in about 24 hours I will start putting them in if there are no objections. TJ Spyke 03:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Instead of the publishers or in addition? --DocumentN (talk) 06:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

In addition. TJ Spyke 06:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

In that case, I only object if it's going to crowd out the information I'm more interested in (original release date and price). --DocumentN (talk) 23:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Original release date is trivial information at best. If people want to see that information so badly, they can go to the game article. I don't see a major issue with developer information, but wasn't that here before...and then removed? Check the archive, I believe that's the case with this list (as well as other game lists). RobJ1981 (talk) 01:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

The article originally used the developer (which the PAL article still does), then it switched to publisher. I can't find a time when both were used though. TJ Spyke 01:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

From as far as I can remember, there was never a time where we the article had both publisher and developer in the table, it went from dev to pub. I like this addition because it informs the reader who might be unfamiliar with the orginial game, and shows how much things have changed sinces the titles original release. Neo Samus (talk) 11:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

A vast swath of entries have an identical publisher and developer. It's just taking up extra space that it doesn't need to. As I said before, particular details are best left to individual articles. --Cheesemeister3k (talk) 17:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Majora's Mask

Does anyone have information on Majora's Mask. It was one of the most critically acclaimed games for the N64 and I'm surprised Nintendo has not released it yet. Legend6 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC).

It was recently announced to become available in Japan in April. While no announcements have been made about other regions, it will probably be released everywhere else some time this year. Jebus0 (talk) 19:37, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Not to be rude, but so? If you are worried about people adding it to this list, don't. Unsourced titles will be removed. We all know Super Smash Bros. will eventually be released here but it's not on the list because it hasn't been confirmed. TJ Spyke 20:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

News

I guess the original Final Fantasy is coming to the VC. Heres the link.[1] Some one should put it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zabbethx (talk • contribs) 18:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Put what in? All that is confirmed is that some Final Fantasy games will eventually be added. We don't know which ones, when, what they will be rated, etc. Midway said the same thing about Mortal Kombat games back in early 2007. TJ Spyke 20:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
