NinDB - Errors and Omissions

[Fryguy64]

Phew! One at a time, eh?

Here's a missing game you can consider:
Tetris & Dr. Mario, Life Fitness Exertainment version.
db.tt/0Rlvg2d

Was that actually released? I've never heard of it till now.

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

So it doesn't. Fixed!

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.

Dangit, I keep making that error. Fixed!

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.

Cursed by Copy-Paste! Fixed!

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.

I'll fix these soon. When I get to the Pokemon Mini hardware page, I'm just going to put the 10 games together on the one page (much like the Color TV Game setup).

Apparently it was released in Europe. Can someone provide me with proof that it really was released in Europe? I have never seen it, and never seen a copy on eBay. Never seen it mentioned anywhere other than loudly at me... usually by non-Europeans who don't have a copy.

Doesn't mean it doesn't exist... but I'd like to see something concrete.

Nope. There were some other cool games like a new SGI 3D-rendered Pac-Man game that I never heard of again after that issue.

I am a non-European who worked to get a European copy sent to non-Europe, eventually managing to win it off of Spanish eBay in 2006 (I could only ever find confirmation of it being sold in Germany and Spain, though it does come with all of the usual languages). Do you need pictures or anything?

Interesting. Now the SNES section's up and running, I guess I have to revise the Cancelled game page already

If you have the game boxed, a scan of the box cover certainly wouldn't go amiss, and if it has a copyright year different to the Japanese release that will help me position it... but other than that I can take your word as the most reliable confirmation I have received in the many, many years that game has been available.

Apparently Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue was also only released in a few countries (again, I've only heard it was released in Germany and was popular in Spain).

Thanks for the Nintendo 64 update, some errors elsewhere are found:

nindb.net/series/banjo-kazooie.html

What does "(Nitnendo)" "(Nintendo)" mean? The fact that 60% of these aren't Nintendo-published?

EDIT - typo made me glad I don't work as a data entry clerk.

Left over from a previous version that didn't include the non-Nintendo games I guess!

Fix'd!

Dunno why you posted this here rather than in the Updates thread, but yes, I am working on both GBA and GCN simultaneously.

I can't believe I've caught up with the launch of NinDB in 2001! I remember when all of these games were new!

[stingray0097]

In the Game Boy Advance section, when you click on
Game Boy Advance Card-e Reader Games it leads you to the
Game Boy Advance Games by Release Date page

[Nester the Lark]

Not sure if this is an error or not, but on the software list, Nester's Funky Bowling is listed only as "Nester".

For some reason, that kinda stood out to me.

[Wildcat]

Carryover from the 3PS days, maybe?

[Fryguy64]

Nester was originally planned to have a Nester series page with all of his cameos on as well as a bit of info on the comic. I guess I never got round to it

[Prince~Of~Light]

In Mario Sports Mix-cameo part, you mentioned "Final Fantasy"-characters twice.

Shouldn't it be "Dragon Quest"-characters under Slime?

[pener]

In the 1080 Avalanche cameo part it should be noted that the Nintendo and Gamecube logos on the Once
Bitten and Scatetactix boards are present only on their alternative designs. Also Once BItten name is wrtten again with the description of the Scaretactix board.

On Mario Paint page Kazumi Totaka's Song is not mentioned for some reason.

On Yoshi's Island page the secret message cameo is written under "Cameo Name" name .

Also I just noticed that in the Software section clicking on letters doesn't take you anywhere.

[Fryguy64]

I noticed the games list screw up this morning, but wasn't near a computer to fix it. I'm working on that now

Thanks for the other errors and clarifications. I'll get on that when I've fixed this biggie!

Edit: Should have fixed up the above problems now. Thanks for those!

Edit: Did anyone notice I was missing 6 DS games? No? Never mind then ;D

[Da Robot]

It's an awesome feat, that you updated the site with new 3DS and Wii U info in the same day they were announced. But I found a mistake.

Star Fox 64 doesn't have online multiplayer, it's all local wireless . . . disappointingly.
