Talk:Nintendo Australia

Merging with History of Nintendo

I'd just like to point out that I'm not the one who put up the flag. I am totally against the idea of this article being merged with History of Nintendo; if this will be, then why not Nintendo of Europe, or Nintendo of Japan? Hardcore gamer 48 05:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• I'd keep it seperate also, I think Nintendo Australia has enough history to have it's own article. Atirage 08:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Copyright Violation

• I'd just Like to say this entire article is swiped from Nintendo Australia's corporate page Atirage 06:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I have changed some of it, but more work is needed.Atirage 07:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Delays

If anyone could help with contributing to this section that would be great Watters (talk) 01:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Just need to add more sources and links to the sites as quotes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BoganEater (talk • contribs) 06:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Bundling

This section claims that "Nintendo Australia is often credited for coming up successfully with the concept of bundling videogames with consoles. The first must have bundling was Super Mario All-Stars."

Super Mario All-Stars was released in Australia in February 1994, however two years previously, the arguably 'must have' bundle of the SNES + Street Fighter II was released in the UK. Furthermore, a year before the Australian release of Super Mario All-Stars, the SNES + Starwing (Starfox outside of the UK) was released in the UK.

So either Nintendo Australia weren't responsible for the concept of bundling consoles with games, or this section of the article is inappropriately informed by it's authors opinion when claiming "The first must have bundling was Super Mario All-Stars".

Image copyright problem with Image:Nintendo.svg

The image Image:Nintendo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --05:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Just to put it on record, I re-added the image a little while ago because it turned out the image is actually ineligible for copyright, and is thus in Commons and useable here without a rationale. DarkToonLink^Heyaah! 04:49, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Clean Up

This article has become very messy and unorganized. I think to make the article easier to understand, everything added in Nintendo Australia should be deleted and re-written. The article also contains very few references. Daftpunkboy93 (Talk) 7:47 PM, December 12, 2008 (AEDT) —Preceding undated comment was added at 09:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC).

Why?

Why exactly does Nintendo Australia get its own page, but Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe don't? I think they have the same amount of importance. - Pokemega32 (talk) 10:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Nintendo Australia is a bit more seperate I suppose. The thing is, NOE and NOA had their own pages but they got merged with the main Nintendo article. They should have their own articles as well. Nintendo Australia has enough history and coverage/relevance to justify its own article, so why not have articles or NOE and NOA? DarkToonLink (talk) 07:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
