Just checked out the Wii U page and it's shared entry for NSMB U and NSMB U Deluxe (which looks very nice by the way).
Though with the entry mentioning the additions to Deluxe, would it be worth mentioning minor content that has been REMOVED from the Switch port? As in no Boost Mode since it can't work on the Switch.

The page for Game Boy Gallery says the main character in its version of Ball is based on Mario, and calls him a "marionette" in the manual. The only manual I could find doesn't mention anything along those lines though: And the only Mario-like traits I'm sure of are the overalls and gloves. The hat's completely different, the "moustache" looks more like an open mouth, the sleeves are too short and the legs are similarly bare. |

Just saw a youtube video that showed the an Animal Crossing GCN e-Reader card for K.K. Slider will play the Totoka's Song in the background (when reading the letter from K.K. on the GBA). After searching the Cameos board before wanting to create a thread for it (and also verifying it in real life since I own the card), a search showed that Phil Bond found/posted about it in 2007 but it never got added to the Kazumi Totaka's Song Guide page.  Letter from K.K. Slider at 3:35
Also a addition/correction to the already known e-Reader card for Animal Crossing (P15 and P13) are from Series 4 of the card packs, so it should be seen as "Series 4: P13 and P15" |

The recent GIGA leak has happened with a whole bunch of various prototype ROMS and other stuff from the SNES - N64 era including some high quality renders of 3d objects that would have appeared on boxart and instruction manuals. Here's a high quality render of the OoT reference to the N64 Rumble Pak, the Stone of Agony item.  |

Date error: on the Nintendo 3DS Retail Game List page, the Nintendo eShop software/service is listed as a launch title (February 2011). It was released on June 6th as mentioned on its individual page.

It might be worth adding all of Jupiter's self published Picross releases as they're officially Nintendo licensed property. It's not really all that different from the deal they have going with Hamster for Arcade Archives.
And along these lines maybe a licensing section for all the old PC and console Nintendo games that were licensed out to Hudson, Atari and Coleco?

The Picross situation is quite different. Jupiter develop the games, and sometimes publish them themselves. Nintendo owns the trademark on the name "Picross" and gives Jupiter permission to publish their games under that name.
Arcade Archives are ports of games that were already published and (at least partly) developed by Nintendo. The ports were handled externally, but the game code being ported is very different.
It's more like the "Game Boy Wars Turbo/2/3" series developed and published by Hudson Soft, which were basically a way for Hudson to make more Nectaris games under the "Game Boy Wars" name.
That said, I'm not disagreeing with the idea that I could put together a list. They wouldn't get full coverage, but an acknowledgement of the series outside of Nintendo's publishing arm wouldn't hurt.
The old PC and console games are certainly something that's been on my radar for a while. Especially those peculiar Hudson Soft entries for PC8801 and the like. When or how I get around to them? I don't know. I've been saying I will for about 15 years now.
I have just renewed the website domain for another couple of years, and I've made a solid start on some major updates to the site. But I need to get back to it again soon.
