Game comparisons[edit]

Shouldn't the wiki compare these games to actual well known games, rather than obscure games and Japanese games? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.162.173 (talk) 03:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the Wiki should not be comparing it, reliable secondary sources should. However, we should not list every game that's been compared to. Star Prince is an obvious reference to Star Soldier, the first two Haggle Men are obviously Ninja JaJaMaru-kun, the third is obviously Ninja Gaiden, Guadia Quest is obviously Dragon Quest, etc. We're not trying to give the most well-known game that it could possibly be compared to, we're giving the ones that are the most logical comparison - for example, while the sequel to RGC has a point and click adventure, but because it is so obviously a parody of Famicom Tantei Club rather than, say, Phoenix Wright, comparing it to anything else would be absurd. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 06:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, without looking it up, will the average person looking this up know what Ninja JaJaMaru-kun is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.162.173 (talk) 03:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is important is if it is true or not. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haggleman 3 is more Shinobi than Ninja Gaiden. Just saying...Onikage725 (talk)

Deleting all the useful information from both articles post-merge makes no sense to me. Kouban (talk) 01:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

There are two headings called "Reception", and they both basically say the same thing. Also, the introduction to the article says much of the same information yet again. 206.248.172.247 (talk) 00:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
