Title

Lowercase "amiibo" is a stylization of the developer. As part of a proper noun, "amiibo" should be capitalized. MOS:NAMECAPS If every source somehow decides to defy English and lowercase it, we can make an exception, but a quick Google search shows that the major sources are predominantly capitalizing "amiibo" in this game's title. – czar 12:39, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Sergecross73 msg me 20:10, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, because then it's not a proper quoted subtitle, even Nintendo themselves lists it as "amiibo Festival" in print, not on the game.

Nintendo themselves aren't, so it's improperly quoted. Source: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/qEcYFwg7nfH0IxE5r9dvu2gm_vh03Duc 2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:C1F0:A925:4891:CCA1 (talk) 23:54, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean, but if this is a defense of the lowercase "A" as the official name, we still go with proper English stylization as mentioned in my first post above. – czar 02:45, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Free-to-play

That the game is free-to-play is an unconfirmed rumor. It is not widely reported in WP:VG/RS reliable sources. Nintendo Feed, to be shortly removed from the article, is not known as a reliable source itself but sources to a tweet by TheBitBlock, which shows no source. Nintendo World Report and Nintendo Life also mention free-to-play as side points, but NWR cites the same unconfirmed tweet. Until it's confirmed by Nintendo and widely reported, we should consider it an unverified rumor. – czar 16:17, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good analysis, thank you. I agree after trying to search for anything reliable regarding it. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 16:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Credits

Just wondering if anybody could upload the staff credits from this game, if at all possible. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 00:22, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NDCube doesn't do credits, this wasn't developed by the same team that normally does Animal Crossing.146.163.92.38 (talk) 21:51, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Literal translation

Whoever's changing the literal translation of "森" to "Crossing" needs to stop. Japanese is not affected by some company who may call its localization a different name, the literal translation of "mori" is "forest", that will never change no matter what Nintendo says!146.163.92.38 (talk) 21:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
