message: I believe we are missing an important detail in the wii fitness section. Is it better to have a higher or lower age? We should include the answer to that question.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.178.8 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: If you can find a reliable source for it, I don't see why not. Depending on the content of the source, it would either need to go to the "Gameplay" or "Reception" section. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:41, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Mario series characters were originally meant to be used in Wii Sports. I think this deserves a mention in the article. FightingStreet (talk) 16:19, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, that's really cool. Is there another site that has screen caps or info like that? Unseen64.net doesn't look like it would pass as an reliable source. It doesn't say who owns it or where its content comes from. That's still a very cool site, maybe after the site is finished, it'll provide enough info to see if it can be a RS.

message: Why is the game cover the PAL region one? How come it isn't the U.S. version (since this is English Wikipedia)? --haha169 (talk) 23:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There have been several similar discussions on other game talk pages and the VG Project talk page. I don't believe there is a project-wide consensus as it all boils down to personal preference. For instance, a counter-argument to using the US version because this being the English Wikipedia is that the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe (all PAL regions) speak English. I personally don't care, but I think in this case it's just easier to not do anything as the PAL cover gets the job done. (Guyinblack25 talk 02:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, probably. If the image got past FA assessors, then its fine with me. Just curious. --haha169 (talk) 22:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

text: This is indeed the English Wikipedia.  We speak English over here in England, and yet we use the PAL TV system.  How remarkable! Tim (Xevious) (talk) 11:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Game Cover

message: I added a clean-up tag to this section. It's poorly organized. Several sentences read like lists of pros and cons taken straight from reviews (i.e. "IGN liked this but didn't like this." "Gametrailers said this was bad.") Many of these criticisms are the same and don't need to be restated at scattered points throughout the section. For instance, it's mentioned several times that the game, or parts of the game, lack depth. Rather than stating it and restating it without any sort of smooth transitions, the point could be condensed into one or two senteces: "A common criticism of Wii Sports is the lack of depth found in several games" and then list one or two examples from reviews. There doesn't need to be so many quotations of specific review points if they're all referring to the same thing.
I'm also not sure about the few instances where ratings for specific parts of the game are mentioned ("GamePro rated the graphics xx/xx", "IGN rated the control xx/xx"). It seems to me that including that a review called the graphics "generic" and "archaic" is enough to get the point across. I guess the ratings just seem arbitrary to me when we're using the text.
Anyway, it needs a bit of a rewrite. The way it is now, it just reads poorly. Pele Merengue (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the comments, when doing the re-write for this article for FA, this section seemed the weakest. Mainly because of the disjointed comments. I'll see if I can tweak things to improve the flow. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I looked over this article a few times and I noticed there was no section on two extras on Wii Sports, Wii Training and Wii Fitness, unless I missed it is that something we can edit Jacbro11 (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "The in-game characters are taken from the Wii's Mii Channel." Is this correct? The ones that appear in the default game aren't user-made, so I don't see how they are taken from the Mii Channel. Indeed, I didn't have the Mii Channel installed until a few days after playing the game. - Dudesleeper /  Talk 09:42, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they only appear on the sideline (like when playing "Tennis"). Also, the Mii Channel comes pre-installed on the Wii (along with the Photo Channel and Wii Shop Channel). The only way you wouldn't have it installed is if you deleted it (or you bought your Wii used and the previous owner had deleted it). TJ Spyke 23:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I just came back to correct myself. It was the "Check Mii Out" channel that I installed. Got confused. - Dudesleeper /  Talk 00:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: According to this , Wii Sports has sold 40.24 million units, surpassing Super Mario Bros., making it the best-selling game (bundled or not) of all time. I would say that this information is very notable, and should be added to the article. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 21:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No. VG Chartz is not a reliable site (long story short: their BS their numbers). They are not considered a reliable source by WP:VG either. TJ Spyke 21:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sure Wii Sports has done it though, Nintendo should be released their next financial report (covering October 1-December 31) later this month. TJ Spyke 21:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Did a google news search and found three reliable sources: CNET, GamePro and CVG. I figured a bold statement like that would need some backing up from multiple independent sources. I'll try to add it in later today, but if someone else wants to please feel free. (Guyinblack25 talk 22:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They are all quoting VG Chartz though. A unreliable source does not become reliable just because an actual reliable source quotes them. Just wait until Nintendo releases their financial report later this month. TJ Spyke 22:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Given the circumstances, I believe it is within policies as a tertiary source. Plus VG Chartz is listed as unreliable on WP:VG/S because its reliability is questionable, not explicitly unreliable. But I'm in no rush to add the content, so we can certainly wait until other sources pop up that verify it. (Guyinblack25 talk 22:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yahoo is another source (even though it quotes VGA Chartz). However, it would probably be best if we waited a little while to make sure Wii Sports made that many sales. There is no rush, if VGA Charts turns out to be wrong, then we can simply wait to add the best-selling thing. Parthian Scribe 09:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Graphs

message: In this edit by Dudesleeper, it is claimed that the fitness age output by the game is partly based on a player's actual age.  This seems to have gone unchallenged since being added over 8 months ago, but is surely false, yes?  At no point does the player enter their year of birth - unless there are regional variations that I am unaware of.  Is this claim supported by the Nintendo Power reference at the end of that paragraph? DoktorMandrake 01:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember reading anything about that in my research for the game and have removed the content. Thanks for bringing it to the talk page. (Guyinblack25 talk 01:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
