thread_title: Indicating Japan Exclusive Games

message: A topic to bring up- should games whose fan translations are inomplete be noted?  And how incomplete should they be?  For example, the Dragon Quest VI fan translation is 90% complete according to the author of it, and while some text is missing, it is still fully playable in the translation with no knowledge of Japanese. (Y0u did not sign off)
:Yes, definitely. Despite being incomplete, these were often major undertakings and tackled most of the game's complexities in the process (sometimes even adding a VWF, variable-width font), so they are inherently noteworthy as achievements in hacking as much as in gaming. And indeed no mention of those games is complete without the translation, which is how a good number of gamers got to find out about them in the first place.

replies: text: I'm in the midst of an exhaustive overhaul of this page.  As part of that overhaul, I am adding in information about the majority of the translations known to RomHacking.net.  I am using the comments at RomHacking as a guide.  If RomHacking considers the game 90 - 100% complete, I'm including the translation -- with the exception that only the most complete translation will be posted here.  Complete translations are being posted with no qualification.  Those near completion are noted as such.  Those that are not considered by RomHacking to be nearly playable in English are not being included.  I'm also noting which games had an official release (whether released in Europe or USA).  In the future, I'll add notes about what games might have been playable in English straight from the Japanese release.  In effect, when I am done, you should be able to see which games still have no English version. Dawynn (talk) 17:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Incomplete fan translations

message: should there be an article created for them?
:Do you mean officially released games, like the Super Noah 3D game that didn't pass Nintendo's censorship rules?  I'm OK with including such officially released items in the list.  However -- there were less than a handful of these for SF / SNES that I'm aware of.  If you mean the Alphas / Betas / Prototypes that never saw an official release -- I would prefer to leave these off of the list, since there never were any commercially available versions of such things.  If you mean the whole flood of Public Domain carts that are mostly pirate works, and pornography, I'd rather these not be given a second thought, let alone deemed respectable enough to be put on this list.

thread_title:  unliscened games 

message: The first 3 columns are kinda bad. We could do with 2 instead. From observation, it appears that:
*  "Famicom Title" means Japanese titles with Japanese words romanized. While the pre-romanized titles are official, the romanized form is not official. In fact, it uses a non-standardized romanization method. (Whether or not the non-standardized romanization method should be standardized or Wikipedia is besides the point, however Wikipedia is currently standardized on Hepburn romanization.)
* "Wikipedia Main Title" means whatever the current title in Wikipedia is, or the prescribed title (some links are red links!). Get rid of this. Pipelinks and redirects make this column unnecessary. Wikipedia articles shouldn't describe Wikipedia, it should describe the subject of the article.
* "English Trans" what on Earth is this? What are non-official "English Trans"? Is this like fansub & scanslation communities, where people hack the binaries to give English translations to games? As a comparison, mention of non-official translations are discouraged on Wikipedia for fansubs & scanslations.
The three columns should be replaced by Japanese market title a and Anglosphere market title where available. --Bxj (talk) 19:58, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crazy columns 

message: I'd like to invite anyone contributing to this list to take part in a discussion we are currently having on the Talk:List of Nintendo 64 games#Removal of Alternate Titles and Number of Players where we are discussing the use of keeping alternate titles in the "List of...games" some have suggested that they take up too much space and that other columns could seem to be "useful only to fans", and other things that have been mentioned that, and other 'List of' talk pages. I think the alternate titles may be better as
Wikipedia Main Title                                                                              	Year	Developer/Publisher                   	Regions released	Number of Players

Please come and give your opinion, and hopefully keep these type of concerns from arising again and again at each "List of" pages. (Floppydog66 (talk) 21:24, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternate titles, and columns in Lists of articles

message: The first three columns (Famicom Title, Wikipedia Main Title, English Trans) is confusing and lacks explanation, therefore it is difficult for readers or editors to make the correct interpretation. I suggest replacing the three columns with just two columns, titled "Original title" and "Alternate titles". Mandate that the original title column contain revised Hepburn romanization of the original Japanese title. Link to the Wikipedia article by pipelink if different. That should be all that is needed for a vast majority of cases. All other notable alternate titles should go under the "Alternate titles" column. --Bxj (talk) 14:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Column cleanup suggestion 

message: I understand the importance of sorting the huge number of titles by alphabet, and I get the reason why it's split into 3 pages, but I miss the ability to sort everything by column. This makes using Wikipedia as a source for the chronology of SNES releases a little hard. I therefore suggest we merge the three pages, and add the option of sorting by column.

thread_title:  Sorting by Column 

message: There appear to be no citations for this list, which casts doubts on its completeness and makes viewing the entire list using the source impossible. I recommend that sources be added, and would tag the page with this if I knew how. 76.232.68.21 (talk) 03:07, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: Although there are twice as many Super Famicom games as there are SNES games, I have calculated that 1055 of those games are exclusive to Japan. Now the List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games has regional release dates to indicate which were released in PAL and NA in addition to Japan. Is it a good idea to remove all the games in the list that were released outside Japan, leaving only the Japan exclusive ones? This would serve as an alternative to merging the list with the SNES one. Deltasim (talk) 14:15, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
