| == Section proposal ==
| |
| Would it be worth adding a section for games which had canceled localizations? As in, where games were exclusive to certain territories, but were originally planned to release in others as well (and never did)? Stuff like the Japanese version of Game & Watch Gallery 4, the North American version of Mario & Wario, the numerous canceled iQue GBA games, etc.
| |
|
| |
| I wanted to ask about this on the talk page first, since I'm not sure if it fits the right criteria for the article. [[User:Ireallydontcare123456789|Ireallydontcare123456789]] ([[User talk:Ireallydontcare123456789|talk]]) 14:56, August 16, 2021 (EDT)Ireallydontcare123456789

| == Split ==
| |
| Super Mario 64DD has been dumped and it shows that the game has differences from the original game for that reason it should get it's own article. I want to start a proposal to split the article since just arguing with random people isn't gonna do anything but I don't know how to start a proposal so uhhhh... yeah. help.

| ==Super Mario 64DD Split==
| |
| {{Settled TPP}}
| |
| {{Proposal outcome|failed|2-7}}
| |
| Super Mario 64DD has many differences from the original game including different textures, a completely different title screen,different Peach's Castle music and some other edited sound effects,plus an oddly glitched wiggler boss fight. Super Mario 64DD also has enough info to support it's own article. For these reasons Super Mario 64DD should get it's own article.

|
| |
| ===Oppose===
| |
| #{{User|Swallow}} Per Waluigi Time's comment, opposing unless this gets elaborated to my satisfaction. Sources for these claims would be nice too.
| |
| #{{User|Waluigi Time}} After reading [https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_64_(Nintendo_64DD) The Cutting Room Floor article] I'm convinced that any differences in this version aren't significant enough to make it worth splitting.
| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} These differences don't sound like the kind of thing we'd need a whole article for.
| |
| #{{User|RHG1951}} The differences listed on TCRF doesn't seem substantial enough to warrant the creation of an article for it.
| |
| #{{User|Archivist Toadette}} ''Super Mario 64DD'' can easily be covered here.
| |
| #{{User|Somethingone}} I do not think that a duplicated sound effect oddity, one extra music track, and a few unused images of MK64 renders, a bus and some unknown Nintendo employee are enough to warrant a split.
| |
| #{{User|WildWario}} An article doesn't seem required. Per all.

| |
| ===Comments===
| |
| Can you elaborate on what else is different? From the information you've given so far I'm inclined to oppose, there just doesn't seem to be a whole lot here that can't be covered on the current list article and there aren't significant differences from the original game. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:20, December 22, 2021 (EST)

| |
| The sorting of the text that says "[[Game Boy Advance]] / [[Nintendo GameCube]]" makes no sense. I was wondering if there's a possibility to decide how canceled games and vaporware can be organized. Here are three options:
| |
|

|
| |
| ===Do nothing===
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Correct us if we're wrong, but this seems to only impact ''Donkey Kong Plus'' (no other game on that table seems to be tied to multiple consoles), so part of our vote here is with that in mind. But looking at the information we have on it, it seems like Donkey Kong Plus was intended to be a little bit like a ''Four Swords Adventures'' deal where, at least in the level editor mode, gameplay would be split betwixt both a GameCube and a Game Boy Advance. We don't really see anything particularly nonsensical in listing this as both Game Boy Advance and GameCube--it's accurate, and while you could argue there's a bit of ambiguity as to the "main" console, the description does a good enough job clarifying it, and both options don't really do a better job than the description already does; the checkmark list has the same problem of relying on the description, and divvying up into sections effectively leaves ''only'' the description.
| |
| #{{User|MegaBowser64}} ...Per Camwoodstock. Seems pointless.
| |
| #{{User|Swallow}} All games are on different systems, Donkey Kong Plus is the only one on more that one (which neither are shared with any other games). The table in its current state is far better for this.
