thread_title: Argument

message: I added information on villagers, time travel, and multiplayer play to the gameplay section.  Now that I look at it, it seems terribly disorganized.  I'm considering combining the "fish and insects" and "museum" sections into a single "collecting" section, and folding the "happy room academy" into "house improvments".  I'm not so sure we need such a detailed explanation of the HRA, either.  Are we trying to make a FAQ or provide an overview of the game itself?  Any comments are welcome.

message: Is this game only available on Nintendo? Why isn't it available on other platforms like PS2 or whatever?--Sonjaaa 09:00, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This game is available only on the GameCube because it has been developed and published by Nintendo itself. Have you ever seen Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda on the PlayStation? Mushroom 16:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also on the DS now, FYI. ^_^ --Moped 03:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's Animal Crossing: Wild World, a separate game. --Pagrashtak 03:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Well...Animal Crossing Wild World is a different version of the game--there is a lot that's changed but it is the same game.  But, it's still Nintendo only.  AC:WW is on the Nintendo DS so that doesn't help someone who wants to play it on playstation :) TStein 08:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Only Nintendo?

message: I have changed around the DUMMY subject to "Common Bugs". I have also added pictures. The "Lost my Face!" area requires some info, and i'm looking for help on that! Thanx! --Moped 02:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Someone who knows should add whether or not the No Face glitch is permanent or not. I think that's what most people will be wondering when they read it. --Shroom Mage 04:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The lists of where bugs and fish are and their price is similar in theme to a FAQ or walkthrough. It should be removed, but I'm gonna wait a couple of days to do it, in case someone wants to transwiki it. Just a heads up. --Niroht 02:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally would like the see this info remain, because it illustrates how detailed the game world is, and doesn't break "A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure: if the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it's unsuitable." as the value is in the illustration of the games detail. To be fair, the game is designed to be similar to life, and thus most aspects of the game would make sense to someone who's never played it, but for this to really be like a walkthrough it would need to give advice on catching bugs rather than merely listing the bugs that are featured in the game. Admittedly giving price and seasons would help players looking for the bugs, but it also shows non-players how complex the ingame ecosystem and economy are - merely stating that bugs vary at different times of year could be taken to mean something as crude as one set of bugs appearing in winter months, one in summer, with the seasons being split in half into winter/summer. --Joenixon 14:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The guidelines are clear: no advice, suggestions, tutorials, guides, manuals per 8th information policy. In-game information that says how to get something, how much it costs, what it is used for, when it is available or when it must be used, etc, does not fit Wikipedia. If you want to include that information, use prose. Instead of lists with all that information, use a paragraph like In Animal Crossing it is possible to catch several bugs, including ants, bagworms, banded dragonflies, bees, bell crickets, etc. -- ReyBrujo 17:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article does not need to cite more sources.  The places where it says "citation needed" doesn't make any sense.  All other games don't cite information about when the game was released.  It's common knowledge, why would it be cited?  Also, most of this information in the article isn't comming from sources other than the games and their guides. --Gyroid 22:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Tom Nook is a Tanuki, I don't care what the english translation says. That is just a translation, it doesn't change the actual fact. Changing tanuki to "raccoon" for english translations is quite common, probably because most english speaking people have no idea what a tanuki is. But a translation change or oversight does not change the simple fact that he is, indeed, a raccoon dog. Even his name "Tom Nook" is a play on the word "Tanuki" ("Tomnooki"?)PiccoloNamek 05:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't an "actual fact". In the Japanese version, he's a tanuki. In the English version, he's a raccoon. Since we favor naming most familiar to English-language readers (as this is en.wiki, after all), he's a raccoon in this terse list. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Do translation things mean that we should be calling Bass Forte? I really don't see why small changes from version to version are so hard to grasp....Nook's a raccoon. Deal with it. If you really want him to be a tanuki, go buy the Japanese version.--Niroht 19:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
