In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a password or two that lets you battle through all the bosses in Lolo 3 back-to-back. (I think I might have studied Nintendo's Top Secret Passwords guide a little too carefully back in the day.)

Yes but correct punctuation/tenses certainly don't make it any less readable. You're talking about casual voice, which I'm certainly not against and actually endorse in most cases, within reason. I know it feels annoying when you've spent hours upon hours working on something and then someone comes up and is like "well this needs fixing!" but as a writer you need to put the quality of the article first and admit to correct anything that might be imperfect. Only we're not talking about imperfections. I have no qualms, whatsoever, with people correcting punctuation. But to say that some one "talks wrong" is ridiculous. As long as it makes sense then there's nothing that needs to be corrected. I could understand complaints about wording if I was writing in broken English, or something like that, but that's not the case here.

Just because someone said you "talk wrong" doesn't mean that is exactly what they meant.
Seriously, you're acting like a bit of a baby. He was just trying to help the way EVERYONE does when articles are put up. I know I have absolutely zero right to say this, but grow up man. Hell, I hope people comment on my article like that.

I think zzz should be a bit more accepting of more constructive criticism, rather than calling everyone who corrects him a "grammar nazi" (which is a really offensive and uncalled term by the way).
I know there was a certain reviewer on Youtube (*cough* GameBoyReviewer *cough*) who banned me on Youtube just because he didn't accept a critical comment I made on of his videos. Which is very douchebaggery on his part.

I have no qualms, whatsoever, with people correcting punctuation. Um, that was mostly punctuation in my last post. That and some verb-noun agreement. (Verb-noun agreement are important sometimes.)

ZZZ really needs to lighten up.

This sounds like an government campaign, slamming the opposition and all.
"zzz needs to take constructive criticism better"
"zzz needs to lighten up"
"zzz has no qaulms, whatsoever, with people correcting punctuation"
"If zzz can't handle corrections, why would he make them?"
"Vote CRAP today."

The Lolo 3 bosses are now mentioned in the article. Nothing big, but I wanted to let you know.

Wow. I knew that Lolo and Lala from Kirby had originally appeared in their own series, but didn't know anything about it. Great article! I'm playing through Eggerland Mystery right now.

I'm reviving this thread with a question: Should the article have any mentions about how Eggerland: Souzouhe no Tabidachi (FDS) was released? I do think that someone who reads the article might be wondering why there's no proper covers for the game. Well, that's because it was apparently only sold on some kind of vending machines, where you had to insert a blank FDS disk (sold seperately) to copy the game onto. Then you'd get a piece of paper explaining how the game works, as well as disk labels to put on the disk. Something like that. I'm not 100% sure, but I think some other FDS games were also released on these vending machines. Pictures: Thoughts?

I would add it for sure and for a few reasons. Firstly, there is probably a very small % of people that know some old FDS games were purchased like that, and an even smaller amount would know which games were distributed like that. Secondly, I believe that in some ways its a early form of digital distribution, which is a huge milestone for the series and a significant part of gaming history.
Add away duderson.

Very interesting info. I knew that a lot of FDS were released like that, but it didn't cross my mind that Lolo was one of them.

As long as Kurt is okay with updating the article, I can write about how Eggerland: Souzouhe no Tabidachi (FDS) was released (unless he wants to do it himself). Every signs so far are showing the game being only available through Disk Writer vending machines, and I haven't found anything that would proof otherwise.

I'm reviving this thread with a question: Should the article have any mentions about how Eggerland: Souzouhe no Tabidachi (FDS) was released? Not necessary. Why, you ask? Because... ... all FDS games were released this way. Not just some. The story of the FDS vending machines is inseparable from the story of the FDS itself. So going into detail about that would be to get off topic from the subject of the Eggerland franchise. After all, none of the other HG101 articles that discuss FDS games bother to tell that tale. A full explanation of the FDS vending machines would be much better suited for an article detailing the history of the FDS. Which, I suppose, I might be willing to write, if there's really any interest in that sort of thing.

Okay, so all FDS games were released that way, but weren't most of them also sold some other way? I'm asking this because according to Japanese Eggerland Wikipedia page (as far as I understand), Eggerland: Souzouhe no Tabidachi was released exclusively for Disk Writer machines. If that's the case, then this means the game was released differently from most other FDS games, which could justify a quick mention of this.
