Talk:List of Namco universes

Any other tweaks people would suggest before I mainspace this? Miles (talk) 16:13, 11 March 2015 (EDT)

Last bump, otherwise this is happening later today. Miles (talk) 13:46, 12 March 2015 (EDT)

Namco Museum

Do you think it's possible for the Namco Museum universe to be added? The games are filled with Namco proprieties and games that many have appeared in SSB4? Juju1995 (talk) 18:16, 2 November 2015 (EST)

I would say no. Smash doesn't contain anything from Namco Museum, they just both contain Pac-Man, Dig Dug, etc. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 18:29, 2 November 2015 (EST)

Dig Dug, Galaxian, and Rally-X

Example 1: Clu Clu Land has its own article, and its a Item-based universe. Example 2: Rhythm Heaven has its own article, and its an enemy based universe.

While I would agree, perhaps you should take a look at this before you do too much more. As other others have their own pages, so should these. Though I don't think a "split" is necessary, as Pac-Man is still on this page. ScizorSteelix 18:22, 23 January 2016 (EST)

Please read through that article. I Support making articles for those universes. ScizorSteelix 18:38, 23 January 2016 (EST)

Galaxian/Galaga

Given that is has an item, shouldn't the Galaxian/Galaga verse get its own page? Guybrush20X6 (talk) 07:30, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

shouldn't Mappy be classed as a major universe?

with Mappy being the source of Pac-Man's Up-B and one of his bonus fruit, I feel it is a major universe. --What could possibly go wrong? (talk) 07:52, 8 January 2019 (EST)

Move

Recommended move this page to List of third-party universes, it's more reasonable to divide the universe into Nintendo and Third-party than Namco and other.--Capstalker (talk) 02:54, 8 February 2019 (EST)

Well, the reason why a Namco page was made in the first place is due to the fact that there are so many series and games created or owned Namco that were represented in Smash 4, more than any other company even. In my opinion, I feel like we should keep the Namco page. SuperSmashTurtles (talk) 14:42, 10 February 2019 (EST)

When madeing this page, only Namco has minor universes in Smash, now there are other third-party companies also have minor universes. There are 6 series, if it's all universe, other companies add up to 18 series. Capstalker (talk) 04:35, 11 February 2019 (EST)

True, but even now, Namco still has way more of their IPs represented in Smash than other companies. Konami and Capcom both have 3 series each (Excluding Getsu Fuma Den for the former), Sega has 4 (Excluding After Burner), and Square Enix still only has 1. And there are the 3rd-party universes from non-playable companies such as Rayman, Shantae, BIT.TRIP, and Shovel Knight, which are the only representations of their respective companies. Not to mention that Namco has pretty much become the main co-developer of the Smash Bros. series moving forward. Honestly, having a page for 3rd-party universes where about 50% of the entries are from the same company would make it feel like a mess, so I still say it's best to leave Namco with its own page. SuperSmashTurtles (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2019 (EST)

I think a page with about 95% of the entries are from the Nintendo games, There are six third-party games on the page also make it feel like a mess.--Capstalker (talk) 00:27, 12 February 2019 (EST)

Well, Super Smash Bros. is supposed to be a Nintendo All-Star fighter, after all. Heck, the first game's Japanese name had the subtitle "Nintendo All-Star". So there's atleast a reason why 95% of the entries on here are Nintendo-owned. Not to mention that, when the page was first created, only 2 third-party series (And a few debatable ones like Fatal Frame or Culdcept) were minor universes. And even when stuff like Virtua Fighter or Monster Hunter came via DLC Mii Costumes, they certainly weren't enough to warrant a full third-party page. And just to remind you again: Namco has too many IPs represented in Smash to just put them in any "List of universes" page other than their own, so I really don't see how we should put them in a third-party universes page rather than their own. SuperSmashTurtles (talk) 14:49, 12 February 2019 (EST)

I agree that this page should stay; Pac-Man is a unique case in Smash because his character is really a representation of Namco as a whole (as opposed to other third-party characters, who mostly represent their own games). The minor third-party representation is small enough that they feel fine going with the Nintendo games on the "minor universes" page, while this works more as a supplement to Pac-Man's appearance in Smash.
