Talk:Star Fox 64/Walkthrough
Planet Names
I'm a little confused about the names. Two names that got corrected - from Katina to Katalina and from Bolse to Borus - don't make sense to me. Whenever I play the Star Fox 64 game, I know that it says "Bolse", not "Borus", and I'm pretty sure it says "Katina". Were Katalina/Borus later changes, misunderstandings about the names, the names from another version, or what? Triste Scarecrow 12:11, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
[decides to add something else] I looked it up (on Wikipedia, mind you) and it said that Katina was called Katarina in the Japanese version of the game. From what I've heard There are no L sounds in Japanese, only R sounds (which sound similiar to L sounds?) but forgive me if I'm wrong. If this is true though, why does it not say Katarina, and why are we still calling Fichina "Fortuna" if that was a translation mix-up? And if we're keeping Fortuna for ease, why not use Katina and Bolse if most users of an English-language wiki, on an article with the non-European/Australian name would be familiar with Katina, Bolse, and Fortuna? (I only mention the game-name thing in case there's a difference in level names between the versions.) Triste Scarecrow 12:25, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
- I just checked my game and it says Katina for me (US version). Skizz, where'd you get the names, or find that image? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 17:59, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
- If there is a naming difference between localizations, we should stick to the English name (hopefully US and EU are the same), though the alternate name can be mentioned. -- Prod (Talk) 19:41, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
- Btw, US is "Bolse Defense Outpost." --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 20:56, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
- Wow, that's weird... I got the names from the Official Nintendo Power guidebook, but I just played through the game and noticed all the inaccuracies between the book's names and the game's names. I naturally assumed that the guide was correct (it being "Official" and all), but I guess not (for example, that scan of the planets was from the Official Guidebook). I say that we should go with what the actual game has, not what some crack-headed idiot that wrote the guide put down. I downloaded the EU version ROM, and the names there are consistent with the US. I'll get around to fixing the page names (and the names on that image) sometime tomorrow. --

- I'm guessing they were either completely mistakes or that the guide was made from a pre-release version. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 22:59, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
- Possibly, it might have been made before the translations were, so they were using translated versions of the Japanese names. Anyway, I've fixed the image and imagemap, as well as all links and the table of contents back to what the game actually says. I also moved Fortuna to Fichina, even though it was originally named "Fortuna." (Oh, and if you didn't figure out my terminology, "tomorrow" means "in about five minutes"). -- Safety Skizzerz Talk · Contribs · Spel Chek™ · VFG · RTFM 23:12, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Hey, I'm just a random person who searched "Star fox 64 map" on google images, and the image on the strategy guide led me here, but I just wanted to clarify that there is a mistake with the map, in case you didn't know that already. I've played the game myself, and there isn't an normal path from Titania to Macbeth, but there is a normal path from Sector X to Macbeth.
