You may have noticed some changes to the Nintendo DS section over the weekend. This is part of my drive to free up the website. Working on it at the moment feels too constrained, so even if I wanted to add more information or images in the future, I probably wouldn't be able to.
Aside from shuffling about some of the information itself, I have been checking the game descriptions and adding extra info pages (staff credits, cameos and easter eggs where relevant, etc).
This is where you come in.
I live in Europe, and so I have already completely checked everything in my collection for cameos, staff credits, easter eggs... now I have caught up with myself, I need some American players and Japanese players/importers to give me a hand checking and confirming (or sometimes just gathering) the information required for these pages.
Easter Eggs and Cameos are, of course, the most important to be checked. I've already read Easter Eggs in a number of games in my collection on GameFAQs etc. that don't actually seem to be true at all. Some just don't make sense. I'm more confident with cameos, but I think it's just Electroplankton and Nintendogs that need updating in that regard.
So, a quick rundown:
Cameos & References
Appearances of characters, objects, places, etc. in an unrelated series. For instance, I know I'm missing a complete list of Nintendogs item cameos, and I don't have the Nintendo music listings from Electroplankton. They must be intentional, rather than accidental. You can let me know if you're not sure, and I will make the judgement.
Easter Eggs
Surprises and little "hidden" tricks you can carry out will be included on this page. Unlocking things through standard gameplay (or purchasing within the game) will no longer be considered. Game glitches have never been considered, so ignore those. For an example, I will accept: button codes, methods of attaining alternate endings, stuff unlikely to be spotted by the casual player (eg. gameplay stuff, like the bronze and purple Yoshies in YT&G, and non-gameplay stuff, like tickling baby Mario in YT&G). Like cameos, these have to be intentional (rather than accidental) tricks.
Staff Credits
Sometimes these are found at the end of the instruction manual... sometimes they can only be found in-game. Either way, type it in or, if you don't want to, scan the relevant page in the manual and send that to me so I can type it in (unless it's in Japanese... can't read that yet). In the end, this is a new thing I'm working on, and not all that important.
Screenshots
I have no custom DS screenshots. Anyone who is able to get custom DS screenshots (for cameos and general game page screens) will be my friend forever... no matter HOW you manage it.
