A discussion regarding addition of a list criteria has been added to the talk page of the Wikiproject: Video Games. As a contributor to the project, please add your opinions to it here. Thank you. |
This article should be changed to have the games sorted in tables instead of bullet points like List of Nintendo Switch games in which the games are sorted in tables instead of in bullet points. Perhaps using this table below: ( 1080° Snowboarding is used as an example of what a game would like in the format.)
Franchise | Developer(s) | Introduction Date | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|
1080° Snowboarding | Nintendo EAD | 28 February, 1998 |
Before we fix this article, we need to determine a list criteria. What should and shouldn't be included? As a baseline, I would say that entries that have only had one game should not be listed as those are one-offs and not entire franchises. ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
I think we've gotten it pretty good for the definition on what a Nintendo series actually is. What about series that have many, many games as part of its series (such as the Mario franchise, which has Mario sports games, Mario Kart, Mario Party, etc.), should we list the main series or only list the sub-series. In my opinion, I think for Mario, we should list its subseries, however for the original Mario games (Super Mario Bros NES, 2/USA, Lost Levels/2, 3, World, World 2: Yoshi's Island (would we still consider World 2 as part of the Original mario series or would it be part of the Yoshi series?)) I think they should be listed under Original Mario Series. ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
Alright so it seems we've gotten it down pretty good. ANything else that should be added before we make it a list criteria (or propose it, however the process goes). ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi everyone,
I am reading and writing this after making a few edits on the page.
One thing I did was add in missing information. I also did initially add in ports, but then removed them after reading into the article criteria.
I have added in a few remakes, such as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX, Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + BJs Journey, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, as these have been made from the ground up. Listing ports / remasters of games separately to the list would be nice, as we could see that some series are not completely dormant. Something Like: "Latest original entry: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption \n Latest entry: Metroid Prime Remastered".
Having games that are one-offs but have had supported updates and DLC could be added, such as Arms or Dragalia Lost, as there is a history of on-going development with these titles which places them above being a 'one-off'.
I have added a Fire Emblem Warriors sub-series, Swapnote series, Famicom Fairytales, Time Twist, and Princess Peach series. I would say the latter could be contested, but I would find it difficult to classify Showtime into the Mario series.
If I have messed up, please feel free to remove any edits I have made. Take care. Shnija ( talk) 06:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
