Ideas for NinDB

[Fryguy64]

I had a list of those games up too back in the old days, and even got sent some screenshots for them. Don't worry, I intend for them to return once I've gathered a bit more information. Same as the Satellaview and arcade stuff.

So I'd better add a new item to my list up there:
- Get all the stuff back up that was up before.

Maybe not the Manga. I mean, there's so much Pokemon manga you could make a whole website! But I'd like to see the e-Reader on the website. I never had one, and they were $40!

[Fryguy64]

I would like to get some e-Reader coverage up, but the one website that had detailed coverage took it all down and refused to share it because they were angry with how Nintendo had neglected the e-Reader.

Which is stupid, circular reasoning. But hey, if anyone wants to write some e-Reader coverage, I'd be glad to use it. It never even came out over here, so I can't really help without a good resource.

Well, you can use the e-Reader stuff from my Animal Crossing site. I think I've got complete info on both the North American and Japanese Animal Crossing-e.

I am going to seem like an annoying nit-picker by doing this, but what the hell! ;D Existing sections that still need some work:

- 1889 - 1970 (why does it say 1970 and not 1980? The section covers up to the early 80's, and 1970 isn't a landmark year.)
-Color TV Games (I understand, NES and franchise sections come first)
-Toys & Games (Same as above, and not that I care much about this)
-Game & Watch (The Diskun thing is missing. So is Zelda and other games, for some reason)
-There are some game pages that aren't up yet besides the ones on the Arcade section, like the Europe-only GB Soccer game, and others in the N64 and GB sections.

[Fryguy64]

To address your points one-by-one, Mr. ETP:

1. It says 1970 because it covers everything up until Nintendo's first arcade titles in the early/mid-70's. If I said 1980 then I would have to repeat all the stuff about arcade games and the Color TV Game series in there.

2. Updating the Color TV Game section to the new format is on the list of things to do, and will probably get done one day when taking a much-needed break from the monstrous NES section.

3. I have a better idea for the Toys & Games section... I'm going to take it down until I have something of substance to put there. Even when I get my old computer back, I'll have little more than a few images and some speculative descriptions of them.

4. The Diskun thing is missing (and I will put it back when I get my image files from my old computer), but what are you talking about in regards to other games? Are you being daft and looking at the Japanese game list? Japan missed out on a massive chunk of Game & Watch releases, while America got them all except the Diskun special edition. Look at the American list... Zelda and the rest are there.

5. The only outstanding game pages (aside from Game & Watch and Arcade) are the odd one or two European releases and special edition games. I was lucky to find any European information at all. The Soccer title I found out about in the last week, and will be researching soon, I now own F-1 World Grand Prix II, and some other titles will be added soon too.

Hey, you were right, that was annoying and nit-picky

I can help a bit with the E-reader section, as I imported a reader and a few game-card packs. I'ts a shame that my digital scanner won't work, as that would have been ideal for the cards, but instead, I shall perhaps try to understand my Dad's complicated digital camera
I'll post a list of which cards I have tomorrow.

Oh! And I also have a selection of Pokemon E-reader trading cards! Would you like a short description of some of the minigames I have found?

Are you almost done reformating the Famicom/NES Section Yet, Fryguy?

[Fryguy64]

Hmm... not yet. Wait for a couple of weeks until I'm settled in with my computer and flat. I don't really want to start any new sections with chunks of the site still unfurbished.

As for digital camera pics... I'd rather they were scans. But I'll think about that in the future.

No... I haven't started reformatting the Famicom / NES section yet. I'm nearly done with the Franchise lists though. Still need a few more icons, but other than that it's all down to the cameo lists.

[Doubutsu80]

I can't wait to see the entire site in the new format

[Ace_ETP]

Yes, apparently I was being a daft person. I assumed they had more G&W games in Japan. Let's change the subject: Will Snowboard Kids 2 get its own page? What about franchise pages for Nazo No Murasame Jou and Xevious?

Apparently, for no reason, it just kills me to see good things not going 100% absolutely complete, since I have only ever played one of those three games I just mentioned.

[missingno.is back?]

I own every e-Reader NES pack except Clu Clu Land

Here's all of them.

Golf
Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr
Donkey Kong 3
Baseball
Excitebike
Pinball
Ice Climber
Mario Bros.
Urban Champion
Tennis
Then there's Clu Clu Land which I don't got (all of those are 5 cards each)


Non-NES games:
Manhole (Game & Watch) -- They were gonna make a whole line-up of Game & Watch e-cards... but they were cancelled. Only Manhole was made and it was included with the e-Reader... one card
Air Hockey -- Free from Toys R Us... one card
Mario Party -- a whole card game where you scanned e-cards to play mini-games... 60 cards

Then there's the Super Mario Advance 4 cards... two sets of them. Two of which were bundled with SMA4 (in America at least) -- They enabled power-ups and new levels.

As for Animal Crossing... I got some cards from each series... but I believe Narf has full info on that.

Then there were three cards that were included with Pokémon Channel that got you special patterns and stuff.

That's all for now.

--Scanning...
--INTV

[Fryguy64]

Nazo no Murasamejou has a franchise page set up for it right now, and is just awaiting the completion of the Franchise section. Xevious will not get one... at least not right away.

Why would Snowboard Kids 2 get a game page at all? I was talking about Snowboard Kids 1 on the PAL N64. And no... at least not until I have a bit more information on "published by Nintendo in Europe only" titles. The SNES, GB and NES have a ton of these.

Don't forget, I'm just a guy who makes this site in his spare time for fun. It will never be 100% complete because information will continuously be added to the site. If you don't like it being incomplete, don't get pushy about it... I have a small amount of spare time between work and home, and most of that is spent working on the site. If you get pushy I might as well give the whole thing up right now.

I won't, of course, abandon the site... there's several years hard labour pumped into it. But the moment anyone prevents me from enjoying working on it at my own pace is the moment I start having doubts that it's worth it.

Make suggestions, not demands. My boss makes demands, my girlfriend makes demands... until you start paying me with money or sex then you're in no position to make demands of me.

I'm glad I got that off my chest!

Hey, thanks for the e-Reader information as well! I'll try and pull something together once the whole site is up and running in the new format. I didn't know about the Pokémon Channel cards.

Everyone happy with the new cameo pages as well? I've been working on the SSBM Cameo page almost all bloody day, so look forward to seeing that up again in the next couple of days too. With trophies! Hooray!

[Old Man Rupee]

OK, so I've just finished looking at the E-Reader minigames on my collection of Pokemon cards. Would you like me to post some info about them now? (They are all from the E-Skyridge set, and I have to admit, my collection is nowhere near complete)

I've got info on "Construction Action", "Construction Melody Box", and "Ditto Leapfrog", plus loads of incomplete stuff (that stupid voice keeps on telling me "need more codes to start")
