NinDB - Errors and Omissions

[Grandy02]

After ONM referred to Kyle Hyde as "Karl Hyde", Kyle has now become "Kyle Hard" at NinDB's site news.

All those name changes - I think we should call him Karl Hard now. ;D

Hahaha! Didn't even notice that! Karl Hard sounds even more of a grizzled ex-cop name ;D

I've been sorely disappointed to find that in the "new NinDB", there's no box art to be found, anywhere. There used to be a cool visual list of game boxes and titles...and there's not even any on the game title.

Also there's no "working titles" for any games (such as Super Mario 64 x4 becoming Super Mario 64 DS). And with this talk of breaking game lists such as Game Boy - Nintendo Power, I'm surprised N64DD hasn't broken off yet.

Well, I'm sorely disappointed in your mom!!

Seriously though, I have actually done some work to separate more game lists. I don't have boxart though, because anyone who gets excited about boxart is somebody who should lay down and die. Seriously... if you want boxart, Google it.

I'm not that excited over box art, but it was a cool way to browse titles by. Plus some Japanese box titles are a lot more interesting than their western counterparts.

I still think working titles are a good thing to put though.

Are you not listing BSX games that are modifications of regular releases? I noticed that there are a bunch missing.

If you can give me info on which ones I'm missing and perhaps a year then I will add anything to the list. Although I was pretty sure I got most of the Nintendo titles.

The Art Academy page says the developer is Nintendo. Headstrong Games (former Kuju Entainment) is the developer

2 errors: Doshin is listed as a single game- there was an expansion for it. And Electroplankton is still listed as a single game, since you haven't updated it. (Understandable.)

Electroplankton might be unique since the downloadable games are parts of the released game, so I'm not sure what that really counts as, though.

I have been going through and revising the game lists all week. I've been working backwards from 3DS and have got as far as GameCube so far. This has included dragging the lists up to date and including some sortable tables.

I've kinda got a plan, and this is stage 1. Stage 2 involves a slight rearrangement of content to allow for the "series" gamepages which most DSiWare games fall into (e.g. Master of Illusion Express series, which will have one gamepage, but needs some content rearranging for it to work). This will involve some fancy show-offy stuff that I've been working on.

You'll notice that gamepages for GBA-3DS games have also been updated with some small changes to content, including a system and series list. This includes VC games, so hopefully the rest of the job will be fairly quick and I can get onto stage 2.

Here's a missing game you can consider:
Tetris & Dr. Mario, Life Fitness Exertainment version.

Dr. Mario series link from the Dr. Mario profile does not link properly: nindb.net/series/mario.html#drmario

Did anybody actually own that Life Fitness Exertainment thing? There's like no information on it save for that Nintendo Power article.

I found some errors on the site. The first one is that when you go on the NES games section and click on Wild Gunman, it leads you to the arcade version instead of the NES version. Another error I found is that, on the Picross series page, it says that Picross DS and Picross 3D were released in 1999 while they were released in 2007 and 2009.

Some problems with the Pokemon Tetris entry:

Shake the system to rotate the Tetrads and form rows of blocks to make them disappear. As the game gets harder, Tetrads made up of five blocks will also begin to fall.

First, they are called tetriminoes in this game. Second, you use buttons to rotate tetriminoes. Shaking actually FLIPS (mirrors) them. Third, tetrads can't be made of five blocks... they're called pentiminoes. And finally, the game was called Pokemon Tetris in Europe, so there should be an AKA entry.
