I've noticed that the style of dates in this article are inconsistent with the other articles. In this article, they are listed like "YYYY-MM-DD", while in the North American, Japanese and South Korean lists, they are listed as "Month Day, Year". It's not a big deal, but should the dates in this article be changed to suit the other articles? Ace of Jokers ( talk) 06:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
I feel that the column relating to conversion issues for the PAL format should be restored. I understand that it was removed on the basis that this information belongs on the individual game pages, however this is scarcely ever done. The conversion issues column has (in the past) guided a lot of the purchase choices of myself and others I know personally. PAL users are at a continuous disadvantage when it comes to games purchasing due to the lack of information of whether the game has been optimized or simply slowed down. I feel that the information regarding these issues on Virtual Console is a great service to the PAL community. Please reconsider restoring said information.

I agee with Zannek! Please reconsider how useful the "PAL Conversion Issue" box can be to the PAL Wii community. It was and it would be a really GREAT service: Wikipedia isn't a shopping guide? RIGHT! But Wikipedia MUST told us the most possibile informations.
As far as i heard Neo Geo titles have borders from the 50hz refreash rate so for they would be put down as "Yes" in the PAL conversion issues table. Also there should be some way to indicate which titles sufffer from slower music like Mega Man 2 for example. -- Dark Samus ( talk) 11:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I haven't had a chance to look deep into the actually markup, but the sorting on columns that use colspan (generally any game that has the same release date for both regions) isn't sorting correctly. I don't know if it's spanage or if it's the actual use of colspan, but that should probably be looked into by somebody more familiar with how this article is written. -- TRTX T / C 12:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Why, just why, have no N64 games been released/announced since May? 58.165.15.180 ( talk) 04:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Just a quick question, which line seems more appropriate for the article?:
• There are currently 58 games available to purchase in Europe, and 57 in Australia.
Or...
• There are currently 58 games (57 in Australia) available to purchase.
My vote goes to the former, as it doesn't seem to "shrug off" Australia (or Europe, in the case of the SNES). I'm just wondering how others feel on it. Ace of Jokers ( talk) 10:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Rated by PEGI two years ago, the game is being removed on September 1st 2010, if still unreleased. Ratengo ( talk) 08:17, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Why MP2 and not MP1? jc iindyysgvxc ( my contributions) 03:26, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Probably because of health issues that arose due to some Mario Party 1 game mechanics. In some of the mini-games, players were required to rotate the analog stick as quickly as possible. That lead to many players rotating the stick with their palms, which could lead to injuries, as well as damaging the controller. Even using the thumb in a normal way would probably have caused physical damage for some players. There used to be a note on that on MP1's Wikipedia entry, but it's not there anymore (I guess because "serious" sources could not be found).
That input method was replaced in Mario Party 2 with pushing the A and B buttons in rapid succession. The analog stick rotation has never been used again in a Mario Party game.
I guess they would have needed to reprogram those mini games in Mario Party 1 before putting the game up for sale in the VC, so they just skipped it. Also, big companies like Nintendo do not like to go back to products which caused injuries to customers (see for instance Dennō_Senshi_Porygon).
All of which is just a big bummer for me, as I would have loved to play again Mario Party 1 on my Wii...-- gonzy ( talk) 19:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone have any clue why the Virtual Console hasn't had any new releases since June? The last one was Super Adventure Island 2 for the SNES. -- TheHande ( talk) 17:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Done. Once/If the updates resume we can add a notation on the length of the hiatus. -- TheHande ( talk) 12:35, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
