message: *Donkey Kong - Jeff Gerstman wrote that removing the Pie level made for an incomplete experience. .  Just because the title says "Classic NES Series" doesn't mean that it hasn't been criticized for lacking the pie level.
*The lack of the levels in Super Mario Bros. is still an issue and has been critized even if, again, the title says "Classic NES Series."  Gamers don't stop to think, "Oh gee, because it says 'classic NES' it means that it had to be faithful."  It has been criticized precisely because it has been faithful.
You could add that the criticisms don't fit because they are supposed to be faitful ports.  The Donkey Kong entry has noted that it wouldn't make it faithful. But they are still criticisms and are perfectly valid even if they clash with the series title. - Hbdragon88 07:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: A good rule of thumb I have seen elsewhere on Wikipedia is to only list criticism which has an independent source, not just your own nitpicks or pet peeves. This eliminates a lot of conflict because you can say "A says that..." instead of just making claims which by themselves would violate NPOV. Someone who knows more about this subject should examine the currently unsourced claims to see which ones can be verified externally. (ESkog)(Talk) 22:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Japanese dates for all 3 series are mentioned on official Japanese page, European date for series 2 can be found on official European page (German page says "Ab dem 7. Januar in den Läden!", while it's "In stores now!" in English), and all sources I found gave the same date for the US release date for series 2.
Sources:
* www.ign.com/articles/2004/03/27/its-official-classic-nes-series writes "will launch on June 7th in the US", www.ign.com/articles/2004/04/02/classic-nes-series-2 "will initially ship with eight games on June 7th" and e.g. www.ign.com/games/bomberman/gba-627901 for Bomberman "Release Date: June 7, 2004". => 07.06.2004 for series 1 in US
* www.gamefaqs.com/gba/919777-classic-nes-series-the-legend-of-zelda/data & www.gamefaqs.com/gba/920688-classic-nes-series-bomberman/data => 02.06.2004 for series 1 in US and 09.07.2004 for series 1 in EU
* www.amazon.de/The-Legend-Zelda-NES-Classics/dp/B0001ZZNME (& www.amazon.de/Zelda-The-Adventure-Link-Classics/dp/B0002Y67QA/ref=pd_sim_vg_1 ) => 09.07.2004 for series 1 in EU (& 07.01.2005 for series 2)
* www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Zelda-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B0001ZZNME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391243681&sr=8-1&keywords=Classic+NES => 07.06.2004 for series 1 in US
* www.zeldaeurope.de/spiele/tloz/classics.php (Mix of German an English, known as "Denglisch" in German) => 10.07.2004 for series 1 in EU and 07.07.2004 in US - most likely they retardedly mixed up June (Juni in German, 6th month) and July (Juli in German, 7th month).
So it should be 09.07. in Europa for series 1; but for series 1 in US 2 sources say 07.06, one says 02.06; of course not counting wikis. So: It should be 07.06 in the article - or some other sources shall be given - or it should be both dates connected with "or". -93.196.229.55 (talk) 09:11, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
