- Owen's Smash Tip No. 6: If you get bored or aren't having a good time, maybe you can easily cozy your way back to "Funville" with a little bit of Masterpieces or Trophy Gallery. After all, who doesn't want to play the classics or look at their beautiful collection of trophies?
Hey, guys! I'm Smashbrosfan99. I'm a user on the SmashWiki. I don't contribute that often, but when I do, I usually help to improve the articles on this site. I don't play Smash competitively, however, I do enjoy getting the opportunity to play every once in a while. I'll expand this user page when I get the chance to do it.
Plans for Potential Changes
As some of you know, regional differences on this wiki are usually referred to with respect to the analog TV settings; NTSC for America and some parts of Asia, and PAL for the rest of the world. Nowadays, referring to different versions using these outdated analog terms is just plain inaccurate unless it is referred to in specific circumstances
Super Smash Bros.
The game that started it all. There exist different language versions of this game: the original Japanese version, the American English version for the US and Canada, the British English version for Australia and a trilingual version for Europe containing English, French and German selections.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
NTSC versions have Japanese and English selections. PAL versions have English, French, German, Italian and Spanish versions.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Japanese, American and Korean versions are restricted to either Japanese, English or Korean. European/Australian versions have English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
This is where Smash Bros. games are available using digital connections (HDMI) instead of analog, so stating NTSC and PAL is "just" plain 'inaccurate. Users who wanted to go with just NTSC or PAL so it's well-used are just plain wrong. We should strive to be accurate whenever possible, shouldn't we? In either case, the Japanese and Korean copies are locked to Japanese or Korean. American 3DS/Wii U consoles have access to English, Spanish and French. European/Australian consoles (yes, this is what they're called on the back of those cases) have English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian and Portuguese.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
This game is region-free. Enough said.
In general
Most of the time, English is the primary language on this wiki. We often state what's different between both English versions of these games (American and British). If we used something like "The Bullet Bill trophy is correctly referred to as a Banzai Bill in the PAL version" implies that this change is present in all available languages on that copy in general, not just English. Usually mentioning of other languages besides Japanese is just an afterthought, so it would make sense to just use "American" or "British" English terminology whenever possible, now that technology has advanced to play newer games with not just HDMI connections, but some of the classic games too via Virtual Console or backwards compatibility.
More expansion coming eventually.
