Talk:Arcade

Split Arcade game from Arcade
This article is currently about both arcade games in real life and the arcade location in a game. We should split to two seperate ones because they are totally different.

Proposer: Deadline: April 4, 2011, 23:59 GMT

Split

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) - I should totally agree. They aren't the same thing. An Arcade game is a game used to play in an arcade while an arcade is the system that plays the games.
 * 3) Per Kaptain K. Rool.
 * 4) Per all! I think that the arcade is a system and an arcade game is game for the arcade so, I say we split them!
 * 5) I am josh i support this proposal... PER ALL

Don't Split

 * 1) I prefer delete.
 * 2) I am Zero! I prefer to delete it to since it's not a specific topic from any game or comic, and even the one that appeared in the DK game was just for show, like an easter egg. Leave it to Wikipedia to take care of that topic. Zero signing out.

Comments
Just rename would be better.

I would say delete... The article's purpose is completely unclear. Is it supposed to be about a certain arcade? Is it just a description of arcades in general with no links to canon arcades? Or is it meaning to tell about the console (so to speak) on which games are played? In any case, the article is neither informative nor useful. I vote delete. -
 * I am Zero! I vote delete to, it's not a specific topic, it's a bit too general, I think it's best to leave it to Wikipedia. Zero signing out.
 * I suggest replace this article with only the information as to the console (delete the stuff about in-game arcades) and (maybe) make Arcade (disambiguation) where links to other Arcades are placed.
 * I am Zero! Like what? Zero signing out.
 * Like Donkey Kong, Mario Kart Arcade GP, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, and some others.
 * Oh no, I think the proposal is talking about the arcade as a module and a location in-game, not actual games in real-life. Plus I think the arcade module is described in those game articles.
 * Zero is right. That's what I was getting at.

I am split between deleting and merging. An Arcade is a console that can play Mario games, right? So, that would be on the same vein as Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo 64, but it only plays a few Mario games (Donkey Kong and Mario Kart Arcade GP). We should cover the consoles that play the games, but what if it is quite a few? 00:10, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Well it's complicated, technically if we want to have " articles on the complete Mario series" (that's a quote from the main page), then we should cover every aspect of it; including the consoles. But we don't have articles on many of the older consoles.
