message: Hello to all. I would just like to say that It would be an excellent idea to also list Mutiplayer games. This could help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JoshuaMD (talk • contribs) 11:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, why? That sounds like something more suited for a category. And even then, I don't think it'd make a very good category. Do you happen to just want to know some good N64 multiplayer games? Because I just just tell you if you'd like.--SeizureDog 08:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Looks illegal. Can't help you.--SeizureDog 19:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

text: It's only not illegal as long as you don't play any games on it, as the ROMs themselves are all illegal.--SeizureDog 04:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mutiplayer List 

message: This is not true; 
"This is a complete list of all 396 games for the Nintendo 64 video game system, organized alphabetically by their English titles."
There are still many games not listed that have English titles, if "Lyat Wars" and "Star Fox" are listed then so should "Eltale Monsters" "Wild Choppers" which aren't on this list, and every time they've been added they get deleted even though they have English titles, and at the top of the list it says it is a complete list of English titles, which it ain't. If you find a game on Ebay called "Violence Killer" it is not listed here and apparently not a known N64 game, if this is a complete list. "Akumajou Dracula Mokushiroku" isn't a English title it's romaji or Roman characters or rather English letters of Japanese words. They are difficult for English speaking people. Yet ones that are only released in Japan have to be added this way without adding Japanese characters, to the page. This is possible also one of the most annoying things most new users will find about these pages, so I've attached the following notes to the top of the page, so others won't get seriously annoyed with people deleting what they've tried to contribute.
Please don't edit this page without discussing it on the Discussion link above, many things are still being discussed about which games qualify, as being listed once, or twice depending on their names.
Japanese games are far easier to play on U.S.A. systems then Europe games are, because of the screen size and flopping screen most games cause, even if there is no lockout screen that a few of them have like "Taz Express," any Game Shark can be used to play Japanese games, as long as they know if it requires the keycode code or not, these are the ones that players will most commonly search for information about before trying to purchase them.
This page should help people find and purchase these games, and help them avoid buying the same game twice, such as "Chopper Attack", and "Wild Choppers" or violence Killer, when it is actually "Turok 2; Seeds of Evil", if your concerned about cluttering up the page with many unknown names they should be able to type; 
|-
| Eltale Monsters see [[Quest 64]| 
then list the other alternative names in the other section below,
|-
| Quest 64 Holy Magic Century in Europe and Eltale Monsters in Japan.
| 1999
| Imagineer
| Imagineer
|   
however this wouldn't show that the game has been released by the following companies, THQ, Konami, and Imagineer, but at least people will have a link to find out information about a game they just bought or seen online like "Eltale Monsters", which might not be identified by the seller or owner as being Japanese. Japanese game titles aren't that confusing, and if "Akumajou Dracula Mokushiroku" is listed and it says (see "Castlevania 64") it will do what encyclopedias are supposed to help people find out information they are looking for.
One last thing, 64DD games are played by the N64, they're played through the bottom port, just not the top cartridge slot, (Except of course the "F-Zero X" which can be played using both at the same time) but the information is going into and played by the Nintendo 64. So they could also be listed, but whether they'd be listed as "Kyojin no Doshin Kaihou Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishuugou" or (Doshin the Giant Rescue from the Front by the Toddlers that Tinkle at the Large Meeting-hall) could also be debated, English translations are always only partly complete but the Japanese Romanji are much better and easier to look up.
I added to the line about 64DD games being listed in the Nintendo 64DD entry, so people aren't looking for a entry called "List of Nintendo 64DD Games." (Floppydog66) 06:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incomplete list English titles 

message: Some ideas were discussed about merging in the AfD discussion of the List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games. In short, the idea was to add a column for alternative titles; like European, Japanese, and North American titles, which ever is applicable. There was also discussion of multiple columns for the original Japanese kana, the romaji, and the English translation. The argument against that was that it would needlessly clutter the table with columns and information which could be found by clicking the wikilink to the game article. Any there any other ideas or suggestions to help smooth out the merger? (Guyinblack25 talk 14:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope you don't mind I changed the formating to the example to maintain the table of contents on the talk page. Anyway, I think that having a Japanese only column is biased towards Japanese games. I think in order to keep a neutral listing of games, the first title should be the most common name or the first released name, and the second title should be "Alternate titles", whether they be European, Japanese or North American. I also think that the Japanese title should be listed in romaji. I know it is not the ideal outcome for the list of Japanese N64 games, but I believe it would be the best way to make the current N64 list more comprehensive in all directions, rather than just Japanese titles.

text: This looks pretty good. I think it will serve the purpose of providing the necessary information. I picked romaji because articles titles of games that do not have a translated name use romaji. My only suggestions would be to unbold the alternate titles per WP:MOS and use a  or  to separate multiple titles. I'd say this will help expand the current list rather well and hopefully it'll be adopted by similar game lists. (Guyinblack25 talk 23:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
