NinDB - Errors and Omissions

[Fryguy64]

See if you can guess which trophy was used as the template for ALL the other trophies! ;D

Thanks for catching that. I'll get that fixed up now.

Hey Fry,

I got those Pokemon pics e-mailed to you. If there's anything else, let me know. I've been thinking about taking some new shots in the near future, so I can attempt to get something in particular if you need it.

[Fryguy64]

Thanks Wildcat. I have a few hours today, so might stick them up.

Tilting Puzzle: Happy Panechu! was jointly developed by Mobile 21 and Nintendo Research and Development 2.

Mobile 21 was a joint venture between Nintendo and Konami. They were established with "next generation technology" in mind. In particular, they wanted to focus on making some games for the Mobile GB Adapter (モバイルアダプタGB, Mobile Adapter GB), but the company became defunct sometime after the Mobile System GB was discontinued. Most of the games that were developed by Mobile 21 would be published by Konami.

Their first Mobile GB Adapter compatible game was Monster Guardians (モンスターガーディアンズ) for the Game Boy Advance (published by Konami). Another notable game by Mobile 21 was a compilation of 15 minigames for the Game Boy Color called Minigames Hajimemashita (ミニゲームはじめました), which was shown at Nintendo Space World 2000. It promised that players would be able to download additional mini-games via the Mobile System GB service. Later, it was renamed to Net de Get Minigames @100 ( ネットでゲット ミニゲーム@100) and released in July 12, 2002. Konami were the publishers. Players were scheduled to purchase up to 100 different mini-games on to the cartridge (¥100 a game). Unfortunately, only 11 extra mini-games were released via the service, and support for this game had ended several months before the Mobile GB System service was ended completely on December 14, 2002.

When I was reading rikkyjp's list of compatible games for the Mobile GB Adapter, I also noticed there was a section about a canceled game developed by Mobile 21 and compatible with the Mobile System GB service which Nintendo were going to publish. It was basically a horse racing game for the Game Boy Advance.

Edit: Gameboy.com also had a small section about this game (romanized as Baketsu Daisakusen), however the link now redirects to Nintendo.com's homepage, as do all games under the www.gameboy.com domain.
Edit2: The name of the game was translated into English as Horse Racing: Creation Derby. You'd be able to breed and raise your own horses, race with them and bet on other horses. It would have been interesting to hear how this game would make use of the Mobile GB Adapter.
Edit3: After a little more lurking, I read about a canceled Game Boy Advance game to be published by Nintendo called Hanasagi Gāssen (lit. Flower Blooming Competition). Does anybody know anything about it?

[Fryguy64]

That's interesting. Always nice to have a little more information! I'd need to do a bit more research into those games to confirm they were to be published by Nintendo but some great finds here if so!

Thanks Fry! I somewhat wish that the Mobile GB Adapter was more documented like the Satellaview . I heard that ND Cube were also founded as a joint venture between Nintendo and Dentsu to develop "non-tradition games aimed at mobile phone users", so it would be interesting to hear if ND Cube had any plans for releasing a Mobile GB Adapter compatible game at some point, or maybe one on the GameCube that could link to a Mobile GB Adapter game.

On the subject of Game Boy Color/Game Boy Advance games there is a missing game from the list of cancelled Game Boy Color games, which is Pokémon Picross (ポケモンピクロス) that was revealed in "magazines" in spring 1999. Maybe you could add this game? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out which magazines. Nintendo, Creatures, Game Freak and Jupiter are attributed for the game, which probably suggests Jupiter had some role in the development of the game. The Nintendo Power service exclusive game Picross NP Volume 1 for the Super Famicom is assumed to be a spiritual successor to the game.

[Fryguy64]

I'd heard mention of Pokemon Picross before but could never find a source to confirm it, Japanese or otherwise. Thanks for the link! ;D

I found another error, on the Mario page. If you scroll all the way down, there's a Third-Party section but when you click on either game (Wario Blast or Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix), it links to the Banjo-Kazooie series page.

A few pages could be updated.

The Last Story page description needs to be replaced with the English names.

Here's my updated version

Lazulis Island is a bustling city, ruled by Count Arganan. A team of mercenaries led by the swordsman Zael arrives from the continent looking for work. They fall in with the Count who gives them work fighting against the Gurak race, enemies to the humans.

Zael can use special abilities to attract enemies towards him and otherwise alter the flow of battle. He can chain his sword strikes with other sword users and use his magic ability to diffuse and enhance the effects of magic attacks from his allies.

Up to 6 players can join together using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for competitive deathmatch/team deathmatches or cooperatively battle against a small selection of bosses. Unique weapons/items can be awarded from these modes.



Xenoblade picture is from a beta version of the game and might be a good idea to get it replaced.

I was just looking at the SSBB cameo guide, and saw this in the part about the Angel Island remix - "This track was originally remixed for the CD True Blue: The Best of Sonic The Hedgehog"."

The CD did come out a few days before the game did, but the track's title on there is "Angel Island Zone (SSBB Remix)", so I think it was probably remixed for the game and the CD just happened to make it on to shelves first.

I found an error. On the Mario series page, when you click on the bomberman link, at the bottom, it takes you to the Banjo & Kazooie page instead.

On the Legendary Starfy 4 page, it says that the Monamool Stone was stolen by "an evil crab".

In fact it was Dejiru who stole it - an evil serpent-like creature.

In the Fire Emblem series pages, the FE1's title was called "Shadow Dragons and Blade of Light" and the FE4's title was called "Genealogy of the Holy War" not "Bloodlines of the Holy War".

EDIT: Also, some of the new names in FE4 that were localized in Awakening that one of them might need to be changed for the page: Grandbell -> Grannvale and Loputousu -> Loptyr

[Fryguy64]

Are the game titles translated in any official source? They just seem to be badly translated from the original Japanese by fans, who have picked the first translation they found, rather than using a likely name.

If the game was released in the west, "Bloodlines of the Crusades" would be even more likely.

[Leon]

All of the SpotPass teams in Awakening are sorted by the game they are from, and they do use King Marth's translations.
