message: I don't personally think that the fandom section adds anything (as the websites mentioned are linked and the date of the beginning of a Captain N fan site is inconsequential), and the person who created this section is quite aware of other Captain N fan sites that he neglects to even mention. As such, I'm removing it and adding information regarding the DVD release.

message: Considering the DVD will be released in the near future, if it's possible could someone be able to update the low quality stills in the article with more suiting pictures? Of course unless the quality of the DVD videos are that of VHS tapes like they might be from the pictures already in the article. TCL 16:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Mother Brain sounds like the plant from the Rock Horror Picture Show! And Mega Man's voice is so stupid he's not even blue, he looks more like Bubble Man! Bassium!
You have never seen the original megaman when he first came out. I am not referring to the megaman games on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is what the cartoon is based on how he originally looked.

message: Throughout the article, the character based on the Game Boy is spelled as either Game Boy or Gameboy. Can anyone verify which is correct, and then make sure the article is consistent? -Joltman 11:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game Boy or Gameboy? 

message: There is a parody series of Captain N, called Captain S...which is the same concept but with Sega. I think that this should be included.
I will provide a link: www.pbc-productions.com/CaptainS/main.html
Isn't this just advertising for a third party production? Although it does seem to be inspired by Captain N... Catastrophese 19:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CaptainN.jpg

message: Many or all of the existing individual episode pages for this series appear to fail the notability guidelines for television episodes, and have been tagged accordingly.  These articles can be improved through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. Overly long plot summaries should be edited, to a maximum length of approximately ten words per minute of screen time. Trivia should be integrated into the body of the article, or removed if it is not directly relevant. Quotes and images should only be used as part of a critical analysis of the episode. You might also consider merging any notable information onto the show's "List of episodes" or season pages.  Otherwise, when these pages come up for review in fourteen days, they may be redirected, merged or deleted. If you want any help or further information, then come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage.   Thanks. Gwinva 16:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode notability

message: Current revision says of Kevin Keene that "The Varsity letter (the "N") on his jacket is for swimming." -- this sounds implausible (surely "Nintendo"), but I have no sources to back me up and am unwilling to go on a priori reasoning. Can someone who knows one way or the other either edit or reference it? -- Whitepaw 07:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Episode "The Big Game", Rick Walker (one of the football players from North Ridge) identifies Kevin as a member of the junior varsity swim team for that high school.  Presumably he got the letter from there.  Incidentally the letter would actually be the first initial of the high school.  I don't have any other sources than that.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CaptainN.jpg

message: Should some note be made about the fact that it was written largely by people unfamiliar with the source material and often would  depict characters that look almost nothing like there original (Mega Man and Simon Belmont). Despite the fact that the main villain is the motherbrain nothing else appears from the Metroid game and when asked why the main writer said they new nothing about the game that "she" was from.

thread_title:  Differences between show and games 

message: In Lana's bio, it states that she rules over all of the lands of Videoland. That's pretty much been the assumption in the fandom for the past 19 years. The name of the universe is Videoland. Statements on the show confirm this (as does the grossly inaccurate map of Videoland seen in the Season 1 intro and "The Big Game"). However, the DVD release contains excerpts from the production bible, and Lana's home world is stated to be "Videoland" (on par with Castlevania for Simon, Megaland for Mega Man, and Mount Icarus for Kid Icarus). Her home world is never mentioned by name on the show (though the Palace of Power is situated on a larger world of some sort). The information that the world itself is called Videoland and part of a larger universe also called Videoland (analogous to New York, New York) raises an interesting possibility. Could Lana be merely the ruler of her own home world, not of the entire universe? It certainly make a lot more sense, and it explains the general lack of recognition by other-worlders. Thoughts?

message: I personally don't see how Kevin mentioning Batman and Robin in one episode points to Wombatman being a parody.  I mean sure it's pretty evident that it is a parody, mentioning Batman isn't the missing tell all evidence of this.  In fact, from what I remember, the mention of Batman and Robin had nothing to do with Wombatman, but was explaining what a bat was to Simon when Simon lost his memory.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TwistedArachnid (talk • contribs) 08:52, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Batman and Robin

message: I added a new section "Broadcast History" listing the channels this show aired on in the USA. 
Here is what I added:
Broadcast History:
NBC(1989-1992)Syndication (1992-1994)*Family Channel(1993-1996)USA Network (1995-1998)*
as "Captain N and the Video Game Masters".Someone, though, has several times changed the Syndication and Changes Section to say it was 
played on Disney Channel & Cartoon Network from 1994-2002. Why anyone would add this repeatedly
I'm not sure, but it's getting annoying.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MRLOL785 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  broadcast history 

message: In regards to the "Captain N & The Video Game Masters" syndication package, the article states:
Season 1 episodes were time-compressed to fit in the SMB3 airings. This is impossible, since any given Season 1 episode is 20+ minutes long. It never aired with the Mario 3 episodes.
Season 2 and 3 episodes aired in their original speed. Wrong. I recently did some episode comparisons. Season 2 episodes were indeed time-compressed (both on The Family Channel and in the VGM package), and so were Season 3 episodes.Tuxedo Mark (talk) 03:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Disagreed - it was a typical thing of it's era, i.e. a not-even-almost faithful to the source-material "series" essentially only made as an extended, continuous, commercial for the products sold by Nintendo of america. It is blatantly obvious that the writers - really, anyone on the team - had no idea of the source-material (given the portrayal of characters in the series, one would be forgiven for thinking that they literally hadn't even so much as seen the boxart for most of the videogames, except possibly the north american box "art" for the original Mega Man), the production values are incredibly low, the animation is beyond sub-par even for the era etcetera etcetera - this was not on any account a good show, and the article should reflect that in some way (preferably a "reception" section), as it now looks like it's been written by some incredibly in-denial fanboy who is doing his or her best to make the show look as good as possible for... I don't know, being bribed by NOA? Cheap jokes aside, the whole article reads like that uncouth expression, "fanwank", and does not at all reflect the reality of this production. 94.254.51.236 (talk) 23:37, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
