Um...

[edit]

I don't know who wrote this shit, but Umi is not a schoolgirl and she's not wearing a school uniform. I mean Jesus Christ, just look at her picture. What school requires their students to wear tight black jerseys and denim jackets/skirts?

Untitled

[edit]

The Umihara.org link points to a parked domain. Should there be a notice saying it is "currently down" or would it be better do delete the link and description? 69.122.204.29 01:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

I was bold and merged Umihara Kawase Syun into this page. I think it's pretty obvious why, but anyone who disagrees is free to discuss it. Any help in cleaning up the page, as well as putting back the images ([1] and [2]) into the article is welcome. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 23:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And of course, a couple months later, and noone did anything. And the above images are gone, unsurprisingly. Ah well. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 15:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cutscenes

[edit]

The pages currently mentions the game's cutscenes were altered, but as far as I can see (and read) all of the cutscenes have simply been removed. I'll see if I can get a statement on that. 213.10.112.111 (talk) 23:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


[edit]

User recorded game play videos don't violate copyright. There's no need to pull links to sites that have such videos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.54.122 (talk) 23:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people believe it does, though I'm not about to spend any time argueing that. But the person who removed it goes to extremes to remove every theoretically potentially violating link, to the point that he removes links to completely home made vids on user pages, etc. It's better better to leave a note on his talk page, but eh... ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 00:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's considerable precedent for the legality of game play videos in the number of such videos available in the form of speed runs, game reviews, walkthroughs, etc. that are widely published - some of which are even linked to above (in the article). If anyone contests this, I'd only ask that they can provide evidence that this wide spread and very public practice is actually illegal before they remove material from the article on such grounds. Thanks. 71.115.54.122 (talk) 00:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DS release

[edit]

There's a version coming out on the DS. It appears to be a port/remake of the PSP version. Source: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-377a.html Devoto (talk) 22:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a section for it, since it's got a confirmed release date.81.129.32.105 (talk) 22:40, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Idiom

[edit]

Quote: Sea fish are fat in the belly; river fish are fat in the back

What does that mean? Thanks, Maikel (talk) 05:05, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rope physics

[edit]

The term "rope physics" is repeatedly used in the article. Is that even a word? What was so special about the rope swinging in this game? Maikel (talk) 05:31, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Umihara Kawase BaZooKa!

[edit]

Upcoming game in the franchise, should probably include on the page. ROMaster2 (talk) 20:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Name order

[edit]

Until today, the article referred to the game series as "Umihara Kawase" but the eponymous protagonist as "Kawase Umihara" with no explanation. I get it--the name was being presented in Western name order--but with no explanation, it's rather confusing. Additionally, the manual of style does NOT mandate all Japanese names be written in Western name order (even though that's fairly conventional--even Japanese people do it when they are writing their names in Roman letters) but rather, "the spelling and name order used (for the title, and within the article body) should be that most commonly used in reliable, third-party English-language sources." Writing this characters name is Western order is virtually unheard of, so I have gone through and standardized it to "Umihara Kawase" for both. --RubilacEx (talk) 21:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In light of the potential for confusion, I've added a Family name hatnote template to the top of the article. I am not sure if this usage is correct, though, as it seems to be intended for biography pages rather than articles on video game franchises. If there is a more suitable template that could be used instead, please fix it for me. --RubilacEx (talk) 21:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
