Talk:List of minor universes/Archive 1: Difference between revisions

There's been ongoing discussion and action regarding whether ''Baten Kaitos'' should be considered a Namco property. I disagree on this one, since it's not grouped with other Namco series in contexts like spirits and music (as their only involvement was in publishing, not developing), and its only form of representation in ''Smash'' is through the Nintendo-published installment in the series. Although it's been mentioned earlier that it's ambiguous as to who actually owns the property, I'd also like to add that its sorting in ''Smash 4'' indicates it's meant to be taken as a Monolith Soft/Nintendo property rather than Namco. It's like, ''technically'' Namco, but not actually Namco in terms of its categorization. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 00:03, November 27, 2019 (EST)

:And as an aside, the merge proposal mentions ''Tales'' as a similar example, but that comparison doesn't really work because the series is developed and published in-house by Namco, so there's no ambiguity whatsoever. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 00:07, November 27, 2019 (EST)
