::Technically, many games would fall under that criteria of no longer being officially supported so to speak, such as the BS Satellaview games that is extremely difficult to obtain due to its rarity and limited distribution and method of playing the media, yet they would still use present tense when describing gameplay. And very technically speaking, it is still very possible to downgrade playing to an earlier version of the game, or play a version of the game that you haven't updated to, still making the present tense applicable to there. The general rule of thumb is, here at MarioWiki, fictional descriptors are given the present tense treatment while nonfictional events such as E3 announcements or what goes in development can use past tense depending on the context. Also, while it is notable to note past inconsistencies, I still don't think it's a good idea to compare them across unrelated games that have different purposes, especially in Captain Toad: Treasure Trackers case. Too many analogies may bog down the article and make it more difficult to read, as I had when I was reading the Super Mario Run section. I'd rather sacrifice some specific clarification if it means the paragraph is easier to understand. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:38, 23 May 2018 (EDT) | ::Technically, many games would fall under that criteria of no longer being officially supported so to speak, such as the BS Satellaview games that is extremely difficult to obtain due to its rarity and limited distribution and method of playing the media, yet they would still use present tense when describing gameplay.
