Talk:List of games by date

Whew!!!
Finally, this section contains EVERY Mario game EVER made, with pictures!!!! Of course, all except for the Donkey Konga games (Sigh)....

Donkey Kong
Should more Donkey Kong games be added to the Games by System page? --Volker89

Yes, any Donkey Kong games count as Mario games. Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions&middot; ) Paper Jorge was here at... 13:16, 30 September 2006 (EDT)

Game & Watch
Shouldn't the Game & Watch Games be moved to the handhelds section? that is, of course what they are, for the most part... --DarkCat

I think so.... Sam, Get on it! HK

Info Boxes
I'm the new guy around here, but I assume that you're going to want infoboxes in all of the games in the game sections. Please leave a message if this isn't the case. --Wanderingshadow


 * Shouldn't the Philips CD-i game Hotel Mario be on they list? Or does everybody want to pretend that never happend :) --Thai420 21:35, 26 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Wanderingshadow, you can go ahead and put infoboxes in most of the games, if you wish. Just, make sure you can fill out most of the information before creating the infobox, as an empty one is useless and takes up space. You can find the infobox's wikicode on some of the more popular game pages, such as Super Mario World.
 * Thai420, you can add it if you wish, but, seriously, why would you want to? --DarkInsanity (talk) 11:20, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Cameos
I don't think the cameo section should link to pages. I don't see anyone wanting to make a page for a totally unrelated game just because Mario was in it for a little.--Luigifan14 17:22, 5 August 2006 (EDT)
 * I think it works. The page would describe the Mario reference or cameo, including pictures etc. It wouldn't be about the game itself since the entire game isn't a Mario game. -- Steve (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

There is a list of games Mario and co. made cameos in, I've been wondering should there be a list of characters who have made cameos in Mario games? -- Sir Grodus

Hey, Sir Grodus! Stumpers here. I think that's a great idea! Perhaps there could be an overall cameo article and links to it on every game with such a cameo in it? Or maybe we should just put individual bits of info on individual game pages? Any other suggestions, guys? -Stumpers

Referencing a Source and other issues
Hey everyone. I recently updated the Game Boy Advance section with more games that had been missing. Some of them had pages already, such as King of Swing and WarioWare #1, as an aside. Perhaps we should list out all of the games all the time for when someone gets around to making a page? For example, I just happened to notice that Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy wasn't on the list after I made the page. I don't think everyone would notice that, but that's just me.

More importantly, I got the new games from a list at [nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com Nintendo Data Base], a fan site. Should we source them or not? I guess it could be "common knowledge" for Mario buffs like us ;) so it might not matter. In any case, where should we site the site if we do?  Should we take away my changes and use some official source? -Stumper

Tricky... but other than that, its cite, not site. H K

Game and Watch (Again)
The game and watches appear to be missing. Why? Apart from that, the list seems very short, and a short list of mario games needs a lot of work to become a complete list.
 * Yep. I agree. Sign comments.

Mario Kart Wii
The Mario Kart Wii article has already been deleted. There is no confirmation whatsoever about this game. It is only because someone thought that each Nintendo console system has already a Mario Kart game, so why not the Wii, too? It is, basically, fanon. I'd say, remove it from the list. - 14:17, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Alright.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Isn't it said to be coming 2007? Or is it unofficial? 06:24, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Apparently, all games that are unreleased are put at the "Upcoming" header, regardless when they are released. Only released games are put in their corresponding year. - 06:26, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Yes, it is coming in 2007, but it hasn't been released yet. So it goes under upcoming.

Release Dates
The list uses the U.S. release dates, but I don't think that this is a good idea. It causes chronological errors, plus there are readers who aren't from the USA. I think always the original date should be used, regardless of region, it's the only consistent way because there is no region where all games had been released. What do you think? --Grandy02 13:33, 30 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Yeah, we should use the date the game was released regardless of regions. - 14:30, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

Yep - we can even put multiple release dates based on region (although the first one listed should be the orinal release date regardless of region). -- Son of Suns
 * I think every game should be only mentioned once, it gets cluttered if every game appears up to four times (Japan, USA, Europe, Australia). Anyway, using the original release dates, is that a done deal? --Grandy02 15:15, 31 August 2007 (EDT)


 * Yep. We could put other release dates in parantheses next to the original date, if you want. -- Son of Suns
