message: other lists say how many games there are, like the n64 list. I think they all should be like that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeQel (talk • contribs) 20:17, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because then changing one game, one has to renumber like a 1000. Also it's possible to count without having to number them. -Koppapa (talk) 06:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Odd list name

message: I just finished tabulating the A section, but I'm leaning towards a bulleted list again (yes, i'm very indecisive), so what do people think? This is the format I've got in mind for a list:
* Addams Family, The (Ocean Software, 1992) 
* Addams Family, The: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (Ocean Software, 1992) 
* Adventures of Lolo (Nintendo / HAL Laboratory, 1995) 
* Adventures of Pinocchio, The (Bit Managers, 1993) 
* Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, The (THQ / Imagineering, 1992) 
* Adventures of Star Saver, The (Taito / A Wave, 1992) AKA Rubble Saver

thread_title:  Table or list? 

message: Is there any list elsewhere this has been sourced from, or is it collated by people here? I was having the typical "what the hell was that game?" thought, and with only a partial list of publishers I'm at a loss here. ;) - wee bull - 18 Apr 2006
:I imagine it's being sourced from GoodGBx, which will be for all practical purposes a complete list. 86.20.30.144 11:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: some of these games are nes only, yet appear on the gameboy list, - Gargoyles Quest 2, I cannot find any proof this exists and the link relates to a nes game.
Also Dexterity and Funny Field are the same game and this should be noted. (I don't know which was the original version) - 22 Sep 2006
:Be bold! If you see a problem fix it. As far as I could tell you were right so I've corrected it. 86.20.30.144 11:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been looking into Game Boy emulation the last week and have begun compiling a compendium of ROMS using the current list. There are a few typo's and a few duplications but there is a lot of missing info and at least 200 missing games. A few games on the list have no trace of any existence on the game boy.
Adding the new info will take time so bear with me!

thread_title: Major Overhaul

message: I've taken a look at the following lists of games for fellow Nintendo Systems, and there's a pattern worth noticing here:
*List of Nintendo Entertainment System games
*List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games (A-M)
*List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games (N-Z)
*List of Nintendo 64 games
*List of Nintendo GameCube games
*List of Wii games
All of the Nintendo console game lists are made using TABLES!!
To that end, I have begun researching information on the specific games, and begun constructing tables for each letter, using the Super Nintendo list as a template and example.  I think a list format will do more harm than good as the information here needs much more sorting and filtering and is just too convoluted to go through otherwise.  I'm hoping the folks here agree, since the person who suggested a list structure did so 5 years ago, and I think that's way too old to be taken into consideration now.

thread_title:  Moving steadily through all the red links 

message: Someone looking at this article may erroneously believe that this is a definitive list - however it is incomplete because I searched for one of my old games and it's not on there (super kick off).
I'm adding it with a reference, and amending the total number of games in the opening line, but think it should be made clearer that this list is incomplete, and maybe an indication of how complete it is (as it does seem to have almost every game on it). I would do more, but don't really know enough about this topic
: thanks for adding the number. the more people add their games the better this list gets Tfinc (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

replies: text:  thanks guys. I didn't add the number per se - the article originally claimed 814 games (I assumed this was an auto-count, but it wasn't, and without counting the entire list again, we may not know if it had been updated when additions were made to the list). When I added my game, I simply edited the total number to 815. Rayman60 (talk) 22:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello! Is it possible to see a copy of this page without the alphabetised sections? I want to sort by date but I can only do so per letter. Am i missing a button that puts it into one big list?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Picnicin (talk • contribs) 05:54, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not as it is no, I don't believe so, they are several separate lists not one, they would have to be one list. If I wanted to see one big list in release date order I would edit the page, delete the wiki language for the top and bottom of each letter list to make it one list, then cut and paste the list on a sub page of my own user or talk page, (as to not mess this page up) and save it, that's how I would do it, a bit long winded but I can't think of an easier way. In fact you could just save it on this page then revert it, but view the history when you wanted to see it yourself. I think lists that are so long may possibly cause loading problems of something, but I don't know I maybe wrong. I could edit and paste the list my self if I have time but it'll take a little while, but not that long. Maybe someone knows an easier way......Also I just thought some of the dates are written year first (1990), some month first (August), some region initials first (JP), it is the first characters in the release box the chart attempts to put in alphabetic/numerical order when you sort by column, not the year, unless the year is written first. So in fact each letter list doesn't even show in correct release order when you sort it by that column. Which causes another problem for that idea, and an issue that should really be fixed for this list too.  Carlwev  09:56, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: So, in the spirit of wanting to make this list even more useful, I'd like to propose the following additions to the already amazing list:
* a column indicating multi-player (2, 4, 16 (I'm looking at you, Faceball 2000)), etc.
* a column indicating save/password function (B for Battery, P for Password, etc.)
* Super Game Boy Compatability, etc. 
These would make the sort-ability functions of the table even more useful. Not a small undertaking, I know. 
Thoughts?
