Editing Talk:Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)

Should this be merged with the normal [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' article]]? As far as I see it the gameplay and plot are virtually identical (save Donkey Kong by climbing up the screen and unlocking the cage), so why are the articles seperate? We could easily desribe this Game & Watch off-shoot in a section of the normal DK Jr. article and it'd make navigation easier too. Plus this is a stub, and stubs are bad. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]]

I did my best to beef up the article, but I don't think it should be merged. It would create some confusion with the other Game & Watch games, and the games are actually much more different than most people give them credit for, especially the Modern version. Of course, I'm new to this, so your call, but that's what I think.- [[User:Goombachi|Goombachi]]

== "Donkey Kong Jr. is the Game & Watch edition of Donkey Kong Jr." ==

Doesn't this sentence sound awkward to read? Should it be something like "This version of Donkey Kong Jr. is the Game & Watch edition of the arcade game Donkey Kong Jr."? [[User:ThePokémonGamer|ThePokémonGamer]] ([[User talk:ThePokémonGamer|talk]]) 10:38, 11 August 2018 (EDT)

== Split? ==
The 1982 New Wide Screen version (and its remakes/reissues) is very different from the 1983 Table Top / Panorama Screen version. The gameplay is entirely dissimilar. Compare this to ''[[Mario's Cement Factory]]'', where the only difference is the removal of one safe space when its NWS version came out or the [[Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|SMB G&W]] revisions which had improved visuals and sound effects but no change in gameplay. It should be split into {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (New Wide Screen)}} and {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (Table Top / Panorama Screen)}} or simply {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (Table Top)}} since it came first.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 09:45, December 30, 2024 (EST)

== Split this article into {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (New Wide Screen)}} and {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (Table Top)}} ==
{{TPP}}
As I mentioned above, this article currently covers two distinct games that share the same name. This proposal will rename this article to {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (New Wide Screen)}} covering the 1982 game and its remakes; and split {{Fake link|''Donkey Kong Jr.'' (Table Top)}} which will cover the 1983 tabletop and panorama version.

===Support: Split===
#{{User|Platform}} Per proposal.
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} If the NES and SNES versions of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' are split, then this is more than deserving.

-#{{User|Kaptain Skurvy}} If they're different games, they should be split.
-#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per all; different games should have different articles. Seems obvious enough.
