Category talk:Lost media

For some reason, this category just won't be shown on any pages that have it. But I just wanted to say Dr. Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 35 are NOT lost media. They are just unplayable. There is still footage of the game avaliable. Kaptain Skurvy 15:00, February 2, 2025 (EST)

That makes them lost media because there is no way to access them other than archival footage. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:01, February 2, 2025 (EST)

Are you just referring to YouTube videos? Nightwicked Bowser 15:02, February 2, 2025 (EST)

We mean... Private servers for Super Mario Bros. 35 definitely exist, we've heard of those. Dr. Mario World, we're less certain of, but that's mostly because mobile game modding/private servers are kinda in an infancy state still. We feel like we should exclude 35 as a result, though, since if "not available officially" is the metric, then most games are "lost media", and this category becomes basically just a general media category on a delay of a few years for when they stop making physical copies and don't have re-releases to pick up; otherwise, what, are we going to just start calling Yoshi's Cookie lost media? ~Camwoodstock (talk) 15:46, February 2, 2025 (EST)
