Talk:Minigame

message: The "source" for those minigames should be the game's wikipedia page itself, which should then redict to an external source or explain the minigame.
Adding a bunch of source right here doesn't make sens if it's already sourced in the game's wiki page...--Golden Specter (talk) 06:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

message: This section should be "removed" and the whole content should be scattered on the Minigame's list, while putting the world "compilation" in bold!
Then, it should avoid any confusion and make clear that those are a compilation and not minigames inside a real game.
And while we're at it, my list section is arranged by platform Generation order (from the oldest to the newest). The Home systems are first, then comes the handheld consoles.
It may be the best way of having a clean way to look up for a specific platform.
Rearrangement in alphabetical order (without any sub-section) might be really hard to read/ confusing since there is plenty of games.
Rearrangement by Specific platform might be a problem for any multi-platform game.

message: It should be good to tell precisely the correct spelling, if it's "mini-game" or "minigame". 
Apparently it's minigame, but just in order to be sure... --Golden Specter (talk) 05:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed my edit that I made. I can't prove it, although I remember reading something about it in an old EGM issue. If anyone can prove it, put it back in. Thunderbrand 21:20, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't remember any games. There are some games that have things to do, but I wouldn't consider them a mini-game, more like mini-activities :) K1Bond007 21:28, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
*EverQuest has a tetris-like minigame called Gems (for people who are bored)
*Commander Keen 4 (if i remember correctly) had a minigame similar to Pong which was for some reason called Tug of War (?). The series probably had a few other minigames too. --Ajshm 12:37, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Some tape games of the 1980s had (IIRC) minigames to entertain the player during the lengthy loading process. Drutt 11:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tape loading games 

message: Can someone explain to me why this article seems to attempt to list all games that have minigames in them? That's like listing all games that make use of health bars or "some form of dialogue". A huge portion of games include minigames, from Chrono Trigger to Grand Theft Auto and from Zelda to Mass Effect. Way too many to list. It's very unencyclopedic and not something I'd be interested in when I'd look up "minigame" in an encyclopedea... Maplestrip (talk) 12:39, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi,  Good to know your opinion about listing minigames, but knowing which game had minigames is a good thing to know, and perhaps some people are even looking for a such "useless" thing. Besides, Wikipedia has not been designed only for you. It's for everyone. So what's the matter?  And if you don't like this list, just think about those lists:  - List of role-playing games by name  - List of PlayStation games  - List of Mini-Cons  - List of video games featuring Mario  See ya ;)  Golden Specter (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The Nintendo Switch is a ninth generation console. I fixed it, but noticed there's no page for the ninth generation. Accurate information is better than a missing page, right? Though, we would certainly do well to create a page for it. --Jv110 (talk) 04:33, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: See the many many discussions on the 8th gen talk page. There isn't agreement on how to handle Switch yet. Back to this article - I think the bigger question is, why in the world is the article organized by generation like this? It's not like the idea of a mini game tends to change per generation or something. This whole article needs a rewrite. Sergecross73 msg me 05:01, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw them, and IMO, that's some really unnecessary discussion, as the Switch is indeed a ninth generation console. And I agree that the article needs a rewrite (I won't be doing it). --Jv110 (talk) 05:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, everyone's got their personal opinions on the generations, and that's great in a general sense, but the problem is that on Wikipedia we go by what sources say, and the problem is that most don't clearly put it in a certain generation. Continuing to randomly declare it 9th gen without any real explanation or sources isn't going to change things either. Sergecross73 msg me 05:57, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
