Computer vision syndrome

It was NOT personal opinion, the video was GENUINELY NONSENSE. Plus the advertising in the video is OBVIOUS (which isnt allowed on wikipedia anyway).

Eternal links

Please read the Talk:Computer vision syndrome page and follow up with some genuine refs if you want to help, instead of adding questionable EL to a one guy's view. Dicklyon 16:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Mother Brain in Aurora Units

Nobody seemed to have a problem with the paragraph as it was in Mother Brain (Metroid) (which I pretty much just copied over word-for-word), but I've gone ahead and reworded it to make it clearer anyways. Arrowned 19:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep in mind that I'm not the one who wrote all that; the info was on the Mother Brain page long before I copied it over. I just copied it because it was better worded about the whole situation.

That said, I believe the e-manga makes it pretty clear that Mother Brain was originally a Chozo creation, though the timeline is open for debate. The other sources, I'm assuming, would be various game intros and manuals, but I really don't recall any blatant disagreement offhand (to be fair, it's been forever since I read most of the manuals). If you disagree with all this, feel free to bring it up on Mother Brain's talk page, as I'm sure people would agree that it needs to be changed with legit arguments.

Fanboyism

Why the heck are you accussing me of fanboyism? You should read WP:Civility before editing yourself. I didn't removed the sentence because of fanboyism, but rather because during editing, I cut the sentence and forgot to paste it again. Besides, I actually consider the fact that it doesn't have any touch screen nonsense to be a plus. And I do acknowledge other negative points of the game such as the changed continuity, the fact that the two new main characters don't add anything, lack of 2-Player mode in Classic Contra and the "Gryzor" mistake in Museum mode.

RE: Izuna

"I added back the criticism of this game that you removed. Do not remove it again, fanboyism will not be tolerated."

I don't quite understand? First off, I've never even played the game before in my life or know anyone who has it either. It's not very nice or polite to accuse strangers of fanboyism. Or fangirlism in any case.

Secondly, I'm sure I removed it because it looked unprofessional. Here it is again:

This game makes no usage of any of the Nintendo DS' unique features (touch screen, Wi-Fi, microphone) other than using the top screen to show dialog and the dungeon floor map.

1) "This game" - Saying "this game" instead of "the game" or "Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja" sounds really, really horrid. I mean, it sounds almost as if some pissed off person got frustrated with the game and just wrote it out of anger.

2) Nintendo DS' unique features - Again, this is insult to injury. I'm talking about the "unique" part.

3) "other than using the top screen to show dialog and the dungeon floor map." - Since when was having one screen showing a map and the other screen showing dialogue (yes, it's spelled dialogue unless this was a typo) unique? As far as I know, countless countless countless games have that. Examples: Super Mario 64, Metroid Prime, LostMagic, etc.

And last but not least...

Why is this in the -Gameplay- section? You said "I added back the criticism". If it is critism, what is it doing in the gameplay section in the first place? Shouldn't it be in the reception? What do you think? Aileza (talk) 09:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, also can I have your permission to rewrite it and put it in the reception section then? It's not as if you're an administrator or anything, but if it's okay with you. Aileza (talk) 09:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Trivia

If you don't want your contributions deleted then don't add useless unsourced trivia to WP. Pretty simple. Deiz talk 10:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
