Virtual console vs system category
Hi Proc, I'm just looking for some logistical support. So on main game pages where a retro game has been re-released for the Wii U Virtual Console, we have also been categorizing it under the Wii U. However, now I am re-thinking this. I feel like the Wii U category should be reserved for non-Virtual Console games only (i.e. modern physical releases and their digital counterparts). Because right now we have retro games appearing in the Wii U category, when I think they should only appear in the Wii U Virtual Console category. That way, the two lists of games are separate. I can see how someone might argue that the Wii U VC games are on the Wii U, but if we split it out there won't be redundancy. Thoughts? Before I do more RodKimble cleanup I would like to have a firm strategy. -- 18:36, 4 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, I completely agree with you that VC games are not Wii U games, and having them in a separate category would be the best approach. The problem I have, however, is what happens when Nintendo makes a new system, say the Wii U Me, or the 4DS, and they start re-releasing all these same games for the new system.  Do we have to constantly update the info boxes with more and more release info?  I wish it were sufficient to label all VC games under one category, but then I realize that, for example, some VC games only appeared on one device, and not others, so we need to have some way to make it clear to the user which system they're available on.  It's kind of a mess.  Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent to your original question.  I definitely say no to the general Wii U category, and yes to something else, I just wish it didn't have to be a separate VC category for every system a game was ever released on...   Pro  cyon  04:59, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Great, I can continue working on the cleanup. Good point about the common category. That brings up another category that I've been using to compliment the virtual console categories and hopefully fix that problem in the future. Category:Nintendo eShop is the distribution service common to 3DS and Wii U VC.
 * So we have three categories: one for each virtual 'console', and one for the common service. Why have the virtual console categories for 3DS and Wii U VC at all then? Well - they do not have 100% of the same games. Most of the time they do, and it's hard to verify this just through Wikipedia links or online text resources, but there are exceptions. I think mobile games (GB/GBA) are less likely to end up on the Wii U VC. But who knows, they could unify their platform completely (a smart strategy for the future of game companies) so that both lists are the same.
 * Honestly, without comparing two active lists of what can be downloaded from both consoles (3DS and Wii U), we won't know when the lists match each other. Also, the Wii U often had access to the Nintendo eShop releases a few years later than the 3DS. Obviously, this is because the Wii U was released later. One thing we should compare are the release dates shown for Wii U VC - if every game was released on the same day, then no work was involved in the 'release' - the Wii U just had access to the eShop library all at the same time. -- 16:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * On second thought, it may be best to do away with the Nintendo eShop category (however, we should have some description of it, right? Or maybe just WP: link it to the Wikipedia article?). Nintendo may never unify their home console with their portable. I figure that their strategy is to keep the two markets separate so that mobile gamers have an incentive to keep buying new consoles. If they put the mobile games on the Wii U, they may be less inclined to buy the mobile console. I mean, at this point it sounds like a dumb strategy to me. What I would do is make the next mobile console the controller for the Wii 3, since the tablet they included has great functionality but would be even better if you could take it on the road (and not have battery problems). Unified platforms are what I'm looking forward to. I might actually buy a modern console then. It will also keep the game industry alive, since high end PCs are superior to consoles and services like Steam are making console unnecessary - until Windows/Mac OS adds remote tablet functionality (unlikely). -- 17:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Inclusion of arcade cabinet 'multi-carts'
Hi Proc, just found out about cabinets that were collections of games from other platforms but not exclusive to arcades, e.g. wp:PlayChoice-10. Can we add these under the same criteria as multi-carts and compilations? -- 05:28, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, sorry, the thoughts that follow are kind of jumbled because this is a weird topic. The way I see these kinds of cabinets is more like Category:MAME, in that the games primarily belong to one category, but can also be subcategorized under another.  Take PlayChoice-10 (PC10) specifically.  Some NES cartridges were converted and made available for play on PC10, but only a small percentage.  (In fact, the very first time I played Super Mario Bros. 3 was on a PC10, I was so excited to find it on one I nearly peed my pants...)  Compare PC10 to Nintendo's VS system; Vs. Super Mario Bros. is specifically an arcade game, not an NES game.  Whereas Super Mario Bros. was made available for play on PC10.  So SMB could receive the category of "PlayChoice-10" in addition to "NES", but not, I would argue, "Arcade".  (PC10 itself could have the NES and Arcade categories.)  So if a game was published in PC10 format (or Mega-Tech or wp:Nintendo Super System) it certainly deserves to have a category indicating that, but those systems themselves are not necessarily multi-carts or compilations.  The games which appeared in each PC10 was up to the individual owner's discretion, much like the Neo-Geo MVS cabinets.  See what I mean?   Pro  cyon  13:59, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok so you're saying Vs. Duck Hunt may have unique features to Duck Hunt (this is the page that brought up the PC10), although at this point I have no evidence, or content, that we should split it from Duck Hunt. -- 14:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I haven't heavily explored the difference between Duck Hunt and Vs. Duck Hunt, but what little investigation I've done suggests that the changes are mostly cosmetic, so I would definitely keep them together. Pro cyon  15:24, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You're also saying that the PC10 is actually a 'console' with NES games published to it. With that in mind, then I am ok with using a system category for the PC10. Thanks! -- 14:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Kind of, the PC10 was basically a 'console' (NES) stuffed inside an arcade cabinet. The typical indication of this is when your money buys time instead of lives or a single run of a game.  The ROMs weren't programmed with the notion of credits, or ceasing to read player input when one game was over.  So the manufacturer limits the time you get to play since the game would otherwise allow the player to play indefinitely, as if they were playing at home.
 * Just to hammer the point home, Vs. Duck Hunt lets you play for as long as you can, and ends when the game is officially over, while Duck Hunt on the PC10 let you play as many games as you could within the allotted time, and ended the game as soon as the time was over, regardless of how well you were doing (although I believe they gave you ten seconds to insert more coins for more time... something like that). All this talk about PC10 is making me think of doing something I shouldn't do...  Pro  cyon  15:24, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Aha, thanks for the details. I would love to see a picture of the cartridges that fit into the board, although they are probably just unlabeled circuit boards? Although that would be an awesome buy, I don't think wasting your money on collectors items is beneficial to StrategyWiki or your gaming habits. I'm sure you already have a MAME cabinet - why not set up an emulator cabinet? -- 23:54, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Lol, to be honest with you, I have more devices for emulation than I know what to do with. My MAME PC does emulate other systems besides arcades, but these days, that's the one I use the least.  My laptop is fully loaded, I have two Android phones (one is the Xperia Play) and three Android tablets (two with integrated physical controls) that are completely hooked up, I have the Nexus Player partially set up, and both my Wii and Wii U are soft modded to run emulators... so... it's kind of ridiculous.  Btw, playchoice.riemen.net is a great resource for info about PC10 games (including photos of the PCBs) and VS System games.   Pro  cyon  01:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon shared guide naming
Hi Proc, we have a doozy of a naming conflict here: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad, Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad, and Go For It! Light Adventure Squad (the current page doesn't even use the correct, full title of the first game). I am thinking that the common name here, unused in the other games, is the 'Adventure Squad' part, so I was thinking of naming it Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad. Then we can redirect the individual game names and forget about this crazy mish mash of names. What do you think? -- 23:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I named it like this to match the other games, where we have the main title, and then all the subtitles. I think they're missing '!', but are the names incomplete some other way? -- Prod (talk) 01:18, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ugh, this one gives me a headache. So according to wp:Pokémon_Mystery_Dungeon, these games were never released outside of Japan, which means the names we provided are unofficial approximations.  Interestingly, wp:List_of_Mystery_Dungeon_video_games provides the untranslated names.  Even so, I would almost prefer to group them under Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare) with the appropriate redirects (Confirmed Japanese names and approximate English translations).  No matter which way we choose, I don't think the existing article name is functional.   Pro  cyon  14:12, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If those aren't the official names of the games, we should change it and follow our Japanese naming conventions, but I don't think it's going to make the ridiculous page title much easier :P -- Prod (talk) 23:50, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I went ahead with Procyon's suggested simplification since my idea did not get support. Redirects are in place, looks fine. -- 23:48, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Loosely related Pac-Man titles
I am looking at Puckman Pockimon and Hyper Pac-Man. These two games are non-canonical spin-offs or clones from other companies than Namco. I would prefer to have information about them on the Pac-Man category, but not have the pages categorized with them (since they are not part of the series), and with a 'Loosely related' section of Pac-Man. Thoughts? I feel like, yes these are solo-games, but since they are basically Pac-Man games, information about them should be somewhere and they could be categorized under the Pac-Man series if we explain why. -- 17:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I dunno, crossing this line feels like, if you start to include games like that, where do you draw the line? Do Mouse Trap, Lock'n'Chase, and other games like K.C. Munchkin belong in that list?  I'd rather see all of those game categorized in its own type of category like Category:Maze.  Then we can illustrate the fact that they have similar gameplay, without polluting the essence of what officially belongs in the Pac-Man category.  You know what I mean?  Solve one problem while avoiding another.   Pro  cyon  19:29, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * As the original creator of the two guides mentioned above, I should add my thoughts; they could be mentioned in an "Unofficial sequels" section of the Pac-Man series category and template (along with Pac-Man's Revenge and Twinkle), but Lady Bug, Lock'n'Chase, Mouse Trap, and K.C. Munchkin do not belong in that list given that they only feature gameplay that is similar to that of the Pac-Man series, not its characters. Also, thank you for reverting today's Pinky-gender-change edit (something I hate) on the original Pac-Man's Getting Started page. Namcorules (talk) 16:30, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel this is like categorizing LoL as Category:DotA. I think maybe mentioning the "spinoff" games on the category should be fine, and linking to pacman from those games makes a lot of sense. But, definitely not categorization. Perhaps a new category could be created (similar to MOBA), but I don't think it's necessary. -- Prod (talk) 21:36, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Procyon, I just wanted to say sorry for lying and saying I was going to have this website shut down please look in your heart to forgive me and this is last thing I'm going to say about the virtual console everyone is saying there backwards compatible with the Wii U console nothing about the virtual console is mentioned in this website that I was at I'm just asking if I can put a couple of those titles on the Wii U category please again look into your heart to allow me to do this change the only change I ask and the only reason I'm fighting for this change is if you met me I'm a big Nintendo fan I hope you will allow the change because I would like to stay on this wiki everyone on here is so nice but because so much problems with my family arguing at the time I wasn't thinking at the moment and just wanted to take it out on someone and shouldn't have taken it out on you or Prod. Again hope you and Prod will allow the change. :) -- RodKimble (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Ninja Gaiden
Hey Proc, I didn't know there was a separate guide for the NES version. That was my first time playing Ninja Gaiden as an a adult and I often do not write about games on my first playthrough. I wrote Acts 5 and 6 based on the NES version. Thanks for catching the mixup. Why can't the two versions be combined? -- 23:56, 19 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I moved my content from the arcade to the NES pages. -- 03:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

SW:Guide completion alt name/redirect overflow
Hi Proc, so we have a case at Guide completion where the Atari 8-bit list is considered complete, and we have a 100% guide existence for them. However, the table breaks because additional alternate names exist. These have been tagged with the game's category, thus inflating the category's total above the actual number of games. There are two cases for this inflation: regional alternate name, like a japanese name when an English one was published, and legitimate alternate titles like Pengon. I think the solution is to just add both of these types of alternates to the official list, but it would make sense to have a standard for them, either with italics (since they are redirects), or parentheses next to them to denote how they tie in to the original game. -- 06:22, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey NMH. I think there's two general issues here, one easy and one hard.  The easy one is: The 8-bit Atari family has WAY more than a little over a hundred titles, it's more like in the thousands.  Our list is simply incomplete.  But yeah, you've identified the hard one, and it will bite NES in the ass sooner or later.  It's too bad we can't omit redirects from the calculation, that would solve everything.  Outside of that, your proposal is the best solution I can see.  I think the italics approach should be suitable.  It matches exactly what the Category pages do.  It's just kind of unfortunate because now some games have greater weight than others, and the number changes from "the number of games available" to "the number of titles published."  Pro  cyon  14:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * We could always split it into two pages "guide names" and "alternate names/re-releases", and then do a subtraction. But it sounds like the difference shouldn't be more than 10-15%, so it may not be worth it.  Also, is a percentage of titles completed that bad a metric? -- Prod (talk) 14:49, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Only in so far as what you're choosing between is either saying, "We have 100 guides for 100 games," or "We have 100 guides for 115 titles." The first one is more intuitive for people, while the second one forces you to think about how some games have multiple titles before it makes sense.  Doesn't mean it's a bad metric.  Just potentially confusing.   Pro  cyon  14:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Mischief Makers
I actually opened that guide to find how many gold gems there were in the game. What a coincidence it was by you because I was pretty focused on just finding that number. I'll be sure to use it as a reference as I continue to try and fill out the guide. Any tips or comments on the two edits I made so far? I don't know if I may be using the button prompt images too much, or if using them in the Meet Marina section is necessary since I already mentioned it in the Getting Started page. Also whether or not I'm explaining enough/not enough/too much.

Anyway, it's been quite a while since I've done much here. I blame college. Hopefully I'll be able to get into making some decent contributions. Flagrama (talk) 18:24, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Localized title vs. original title
Hey Proc, I saw your post on Rod's page that generally English titles are preferred as page names to Japanese ones. Can there be exceptions to that rule, though? I ask because I want to work on a guide for Sengoku Basara in the future, but that game was released here as "Devil Kings". Capcom made a bunch of changes to it but that didn't pay off and the game was a flop. As a big fan of the series, all I can say is that these changes are ridiculous and embarrassing, and not even Capcom has stuck with them; all anime series and the one other game that was released here were localized under their original name, Sengoku Basara. I would be fine with "Devil Kings" as a redirect, but does it really have to be the guide's definitive title? Wikipedia has it as Devil Kings so I guess this is the plea of a passionate fan more than anything. ._.' -- Wario Talk 00:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

TTTE edit war must be stopped
I know this is going to sound ridiculous (talking about a TV show that most of us have moved on from), but as the original creator of the first two TTTE games' guides, I feel I should bring up the fact that today is day four of an edit war on them that was started by Paul Young (who is clearly obsessed with the show) and being countered by an anon; I think he might have signed up for the wrong site, as this is a gamers' wiki, not a TTTE or fan-fiction one (nobody cares about characters that "Creepypasta" and other fans have made up), and the only non-TTTE-related edit he has made was to Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit/Tracks, which removed the stuff about the five hidden tracks that only exist in the PSX version (and even though I had never heard of this game, I Googled it to see if his edit was correct, but it was not, for they are documented on Wikipedia and there are YouTube videos of them). Namcorules (talk) 15:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Just in case you did not see my response to your thank-you message on my own talk page yesterday: anonymous user 71.164.215.41 is Paul Young (look at his contributions for evidence), so he should be banned for abusing multiple accounts (he is probably aware of the fact that his membership on here is hanging by a thread after you protected the original TTTE's walkthrough page, so he has switched to editing anonymously, but I can tell it is him just by looking at his edit summaries, for nobody else on here has confined their edits exclusively to both TTTE guides). Namcorules (talk) 15:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Just to warn you - a new user account named "Paul Young 65" was created at 22:57, and I have a strong suspicion it could result in another unnecessary TTTE fan-fiction-based edit war before he gets banned for a second time for abusing multiple accounts (again). Namcorules (talk) 23:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, I could not trust a user who is defying his inceptive ban from June. Namcorules (talk) 19:19, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Gotta agree with Prod on this one. NR, I understand that you are frustrated and aggravated by PY65's behavior, and I'm trying to be sympathetic, but that does not entitle you to make demands on who we do or don't ban from the site.  On the list of priorities that need to be addressed on this site, this issue ranks fairly low.  We are dealing with PY65 as we deem appropriate, and we won't hesitate to ban him if he truly does something egregious to the site.  But don't raise yourself to the same level of nuisance as him.  All that accomplishes is lowering yourself to his level, and he gets to enjoy how upset he can make you.  As far as you should be concerned, PY65 doesn't exist.  We will deal with him.

Eggerland Meikyuu no Fukkatsu
Hi Procyon. I noticed that Eggerland Meikyuu no Fukkatsu is almost completely linear (unlike its predecessor, Eggerland 2). Therefore I am modyfying the walkthrough, so that subsequent rooms will be described next to each other in the same guide page. It will take me a few days, therefore for the moment the TC features both the old and the new list of pages. When I will be finished linearizing the guide, the old pages could be removed. --Abacos (talk) 10:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I thought all the necessary information was already there: list of items in plain view; guides to items hard to reach; screenshots of important items and significant locations in the stages; list of enemies sorted as they are encountered with suggestions to defeat them easily. I won't write a guide that states the obvious like this: "There is an enemy: shoot it; then there is another enemy: shoot it; then there is a third enemy: shoot it." :D On a side thought, how about adding links to VGmaps.com? --Abacos (talk) 11:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I understand what has to be done. I see it will take me a while before the Mega Man 3 guide can be completed. Drop by drop I'll get there. --Abacos (talk) 15:45, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Procyon. Sorry for the late answer, but I have been very busy in the last few weeks. I am really flattered for what you wrote about the Ultima guides I contributed to. Upgrade one of them to "featured" level would be great. Still, my favorite Ultima game so far is the fourth, Quest of the Avatar, but the guide is just at completion stage 2. In the Mega Man 3 guide I wrote all the information I would like to see in a Mega Man guide, and nothing more than that. Since the game is "of age" already, I think that players know it well already. Add anything you like to it, I think I'm done with it for the moment. Just please leave the Sega Mega Drive screenshots: they inform the reader about the existence of a remake. Mega Man holds a special place in my heart, too: Mega Man 3 is one of the very first games I ever owned, and Mega Man 6 is a souvenir of holidays in North America. And before it's too late, let me wish you a Happy New Year! --Abacos (talk) 11:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Let's see: if I understand well, all I should add in Mega Man 3 are maps of the stages with marked locations of enemies and, on the text side, warnings against other obstacles. Can they be single full maps, or do they have to be broken down in segments? About the Ultima [[File:0005.svg]]nomination: I wrote the [[File:0004.svg]]Ultima 5 and [[File:0004.svg]]Ultima 6 guides, and I added lots of information to the [[File:0004.svg]]Ultima 3 one (I also wrote the [[File:0003.svg]]Ultima 5 NES guide, but such an ugly game deserves not a stage 4). Still my preference goes to [[File:0002.svg]]Ultima 4 (and even more to [[File:0004.svg]]Elnard). Two topics, one question: is there any hurry? Right now, I am writing a text transcript of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, and my future plans are the guides for Ultima 1 and 2. After that, I will be back on Mega Man 3 and Ultima 4. Do you think that Elnard is worth being nominated for featured guide? I know it is a rather obscure game compared to Zelda, Mega Man and Ultima. --Abacos (talk) 10:39, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

username change
BTW, if you don't mind, may you please change my username to Captain MacTavish? I would appreciate it if you did. Drilly  the   Hedgehog  09:32, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll never leave
It's always good to see everyone. This year was unreasonably busy but I'm always thinking about the wiki and everyone here. --Zaiqukaj (talk) 01:44, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Suspected vandal/sockpuppet
I just went onto Recent Changes and discovered a guy who named himself HAIRLESS FURBALL WITH TWO FUCKING SHITS‎. The intolerable username can only mean two things: he is only here to vandalize (which is pretty obvious, and he just did by filling his page with inappropriate garbage) and he might be a sockpuppet of previous vandals/one previous vandal. I may be wrong about the accusation/suspicion of sockpuppetry, but again, his behavior is extremely similar to those of previous vandals. Might wanna investigate the situation.

Not to mention, the IP address 70.213.4.54 was also involved in this, which I suspect as his IP address, given the similar behaviors. John  "Soap"   MacTavish  09:25, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

StrategyWiki
I must let you know that I absolutely love this wiki and just being here in general. I personally think it's a very good site for people to come and visit whenever they want to learn any tips, secrets, and strategy in case they're ever stuck at one part of a video game. I'm still currently getting used to the wiki. John  "Soap"   MacTavish  22:48, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Any other active admins/bureaucrats?
How come nowadays, you seem to be the sole sysop/bureaucrat in charge? There were Prod and Zaiqukaj active not too long ago, but at the moment, they don't seem to be available; there was even Sigma 7 at one point on October when he blocked a user named Safe Zone Strategy Review, but again, like with said admins, he's not available at the moment. What's up with that? John  "Soap"   MacTavish  06:29, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm still around :). -- Prod (talk) 18:18, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I also discovered that Zaiqukaj is still active, so we're definitely good at the moment. John   "Soap"   MacTavish  04:32, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

A little help for Barbarian II
My memory isn't working. Category:Barbarian II: Axe of Rage is a lesser duplicate of Barbarian II: Axe of Rage. Can that be deleted or does it need a history merge first? I'm not remembering how to do that and wouldn't delete something unless 100% certain. Advice or help would be appreciated. --Zaiqukaj (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Rollback
When am I allowed to do a request for rollback? I'm aware that I've only been here for about 2 weeks, but I'm just wondering. John  "Soap"   MacTavish  09:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
