Talk:Working Designs

message: In the section discussing Working Designs' accomplishments, it states that Working Designs quickly sold out of copies of Magic Knight Rayearth. I don't know where this information came from, but I don't believe it's true. I bought my copy new from a third-party seller in 2000, and Working Designs themselves had new copies for sale right up until at least late 2004, as you can see in this archived page: http://web.archive.org/web/20041112193345/http://www.workingdesigns.com/games/saturn/magic_knight_rayearth/contents.htm
I'm removing it unless someone has a trustworthy citation saying otherwise.

However, this is because only a small number of retailers (Electronics Boutique, Babbages and Software Etc) bought copies usually in very small quantities since the Saturn was basically dead at that point. Working Designs still had a substantial supply of the game which as mentioned they continued to sell until they closed up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.130.78 (talk) 20:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rayearth "quickly sells out?" 

message: I'm making a note about this article, as some people seem to not understand that Working Designs was a North American distributor that licensed games from Japan.  They were not a game developer and therefore have never produced their own games.  The whole point of the company's existence was to bring Japanese exclusives to North America.  For some reason, edits continue to be made to this article suggesting that some of Working Designs' games were "Japan Only".  This is absolutely proposterous for the reasons stated above.
It seems that the game Parasol Stars is the one that most commonly gets the edit, despite the game being Working Design's first North American localization project.  A timeline of the company's history, along with a detailed explanation of every game release, can be found at archive.org.  As this is directly archived from the original Working Designs website, this should put to rest the notion that Working Designs has ever released a Japan-only title.
There is no reference anywhere stating that Working Designs has ever released a Japan-only title.  Therefore, any attempt to re-assert this falsehood into the article should be regarded as vandalism.

thread_title:  North American Distribution Confusion 

message: Heads up, I'm digitizing old publisher preview video tapes pulled out of the archive storage of the gaming magazine I used to publish in the 90's. I've run across three working designs videos so far and posted them to YouTube. They are Shining Wisdom, Iron Storm, and Dragon Force. Enjoy guys. BcRIPster (talk) 07:10, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
