Talk:Ape Escape

message: It has been shown on the Ape Club site, as well as references to the Sarugetchu Development Page, that the series could now fit in the Best Selling Video Game Franchise's list. However, I am confused as whether we put the 58,900,000 stats in there, or just the 6,900,000 sold through PlayStation systems. I would put the 58.9 million as that is ALL games in the franchise, not just PlayStation games. What do you guys think?--Apeaboutsims (talk) 00:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: 58.9 million would be a more appropriate figure since the article is about the series rather than the playstation games.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I shall be going through ALL Ape Escape articles, possibly adding some, and fixing them. We have had a number of complaints about there not being sourced material. Any material not sourced can cause the article to be deleted. We cannot have this. So any data unsourced, or messy, will be deleted, or re-constructed using sources.--Apeaboutsims (talk) 08:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, many of the Ape Escape articles are under-sourced, mainly because the series does not have many online followers. It would be great if you could cleanup the articles.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 02:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Cant view the orginal ape escape game anymore

message: Would it be a better idea to create a template with all these details on instead - for example, there is no need to have a listing of all the characters in the series. Seems silly to me. They should be separate for each released game.
The categories need to be sorted on some of the articles as well, e.g. Spike.
If no one else gets round to it, I might have a go at making a template... --rjcuk 17:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the meaning of the Japanese word "ukki" as used in the games? I have looked in three or four different Japanese dictionaries and have thus far been unable to find it!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.152.190.21 (talk) 20:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Shouldn't everything be changed to English?

message: All Ape Escape articles here really need an overhaul. They all use a bunch of advertisement speak, POV, commentary, obvious noninformation, bad grammar, spelling, syntax, and organization, utter disregard for the American versions and an insistence that the Japanese names be at least included whenever possible if they even use another name, and just a bunch of nonsense no one cares about without a citation or reference in sight.
It's like it was translated right over from the Japanese version with Altavista by a 12-year-old anime freak who then unsuccessfully tried to clean it up. I'd go and change some things myself but any English-language information on the series is limited, but anyone who can read Japanese needs to really clean this up.

message: There are a few games missing from the series.
Mobile games are missing from the list, they should be added.
source -  and ? use google translate if you need to.
Also, should we mention that an upcoming ape escape game is coming. look here: http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/saru/ >>USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE TO KNOW THAT ITS THE PRODUCTION PAGE FOR APE ESCAPE--59.101.141.51 (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Ape Escape (series) → Ape Escape — Since the launch of the first game Ape Escape has developed into a wide series consisting of numerous games, many spin-offs, anime and cartoon series. Thus Ape Escape is now more commonly referred to as a series rather than as simply the first game. The move is also supported by the disambiguation section of the naming conventions for the series. Hence the first game should be moved to Ape Escape (video game) and the series page should be moved to Ape Escape. An example of how this has been done before is that Final Fantasy directs to the series page while the first game, Final Fantasy is under Final Fantasy (video game).

thread_title: Requested move

message: From looking at the template, i can see that most of the games are in the wrong section, and there are some link issues and some games actually missing.
OK, first, according to this article, Ape Escape Million Monkeys, and  Ape Escape: SaruSaru Big Mission are not part of the main series. . It states that the next entry in the series was going to be a working title for PS3. So why are million monkeys and big mission in the main series on the template.
According to an Email i got from Soichi Terada (the person who makes music for Ape Escape). The series is constructed like this.
Main Series:Ape Escape + (On The Loose), Ape Escape 2, Ape Escape 3, Working Title PS3
Side Series:Piposaru 2001, Pumped & Primed, Million Monkeys
Academia Series:Ape Academy 1, Ape Academy 2
Party Series:Monkey Mania, Racer.
Spin Off'sBig Mission, Quest
Mobile GamesThe Mobile Games.
Ill try and source the email. im thinking that ill save the email as a web page then host it for download.
Also, i already had to fix the one on the template, but the links to Ape Escape all lead to the series rather than the game. You can only access it by typing "Ape Escape (video Game) into the search box. All other links link to the series page. (The page has been moved, but links haven't been changed. Please consider all this.--Apeaboutsims (talk) 22:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The source says that the ps3 game is the fourth in the series so we must change it correctly--Morgan3136 (talk) 05:38, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: It's A Bit Of A Mess

message: Someone please say something, I haven't heard about a major Ape Escape title in years. Is this series done with after that PSMove special? I mean besides the cameo on Playstation All-Stars. A tv series, a short film, a psvita game, Ape Escape 4, anything? Come on man, someone update this wiki page. At least put a "future" section or something.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.25.229.61 (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
