Template talk:NIWA News

I realize I'm at risk of edit-warring, so I'll put this here. The description doesn't say "all English-speaking regions," it says "all regions." I'd change this, but the reason this was added in the first place was to prepare for potential Smash 4 confirmations, and so far, Sakurai has only cared about Japanese releases regardless of when they were released in English regions. So unless you can say with 100% certainty that Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games will not bring about another Mario or Sonic confirmation, I suggest we put it back.

New releases here!

December 27: Pokémon Bank January 9: Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.92.255.223 (talk • contribs) 12:50, 26 December 2013 (GMT)

Firstly, sign your comments by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. For the former, it's just going to be an application, not an entire game. For the latter, can you please provide a source. Scr7(talk · contribs) 07:58, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Ok I found a trailer for the latter from a google search, but two things: the link you provided before had no evidence, and I'm not even sure if this series belongs on this list. Scr7(talk · contribs) 08:00, 26 December 2013 (EST)

We don't have a Chibi-Robo NIWA wiki, so we'd have nowhere to link such a list item, and the purpose of this section is for interwiki linking. Toomai Glittershine The Free 11:34, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Kirby

January 11: Kirby Triple Deluxe comes out in Japan. While not an American release, the game is significant to the Kirby franchise (thus a link to WiKirby can be provided) and it's possible that a playable veteran of the Kirby franchise could be revealed to return. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.195.140.93 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

A New Idea

Would you guys be against the idea of adding upcoming Nintendo games that don't have a NIWA wiki for its series? (i.e. Bravely Default, Professor Layton & The Azran Legacy) It could help bring light to lesser-known franchises and new IPs. We could just link to Wikipedia.

The purpose of the upcoming/new releases section is to help traffic to other member wikis. I'm not totally against the idea of calling attention to other games, but it's for a completely different purpose, and has the potential to make the section even longer.

I've always thought the purpose was to give dates for potential new reveals on Miiverse. E.g. Meta Knight could've been released on May 3rd to celebrate the American release of Triple Deluxe. We seem to be running a bit low on games now, though. As far as I can remember, the only upcoming Nintendo-published games with release dates are Mario Kart 8, Tomodachi Life and Inazuma Eleven GO. The latter two don't even have NIWA wikis. Toast ltimatum 08:41, 4 May 2014 (EDT)

On June 19, Pokémon Art Academy comes out in Japan. Also, we'll almost definitely get more release dates by the next Nintendo Direct. ChuckNorris 09:42, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
