Regarding Banpresto article. Everyone read!

[Revolver Ocelot]

This article has been a nightmare for me to conceptualize because it branches off into so many possibilities for other articles and I'm not sure if some of the games should really be covered here. Here are the possibilities for branching off as of right now:

Two games are Gundam fighters and are already covered in the Gundam fighters article.

Two games are SD Gundam games. They should probably be clumped together in a separate SD Gundam action games article along with the Great Battle games, which are pretty cool.

Two games are Macross shooters, and I've decided to write a Macross shooters article, but I'll need some help on it later on.

Two games are DBZ fighters. I recall that someone was writing an article about Hyper Dimension. I'm pretty sure it was pulled. Would we still be on for a DBZ article? I'd be more than happy to contribute what I've written so far for these two as well as pieces on the Butoden trilogy and the Budokai trilogy. Someone else would have to cover Legends, Ultimate Battle 22, GT Final Bout and the Tenkaichi games, though.

One game is a Sailor Moon game. However, there's some pretty decent Sailor Moon fighters out there as well as an awesome SFC RPG. That's perhaps another article right there.

Also, I know someone is working on a Toaplan shooters article. Is Air Gallet being covered in that article? Please let me know.

Barring the above, the only games left are Ultra X Weapons, Metamoqester and Denjin Makai II (Denjin Makai 1 is not currently supported by any version of MAME or its variants, so I can't cover it). Would those three even be worth clumping together in a "Banpresto Arcade games" article, or should they just be published on the site individually?

Anyone who can help with these potential articles or thinks any of these articles is a good idea, please give me your feedback and let me know how you're willing to collaborate. Whatever doesn't work, I'll just throw back into the Banpresto Arcade Games article.

According to Arcade-History Ghost Chaser Densei (1994, Super Famicom) is part of the Denji Makai series, just in case since I didn't see you mention it.

Then those games should be left out.

There are so many SD Gundam games that this would not be logistically realistic. Also SD Gundam and Great Battle are completely separate series. I have been looking for somebody to write about, and screenshot, Great Battle VI for PlayStation for a few months. If you are willing to take care of that game than I would be interested in writing the rest of it.

Two games are Macross shooters, and I've decided to write a Macross shooters article, but I'll need some help on it later on.

These should be left out as well.

I wrote DBZ HD. It is currently on hold 'til I expand it. I am probably going to write about every SFC game and the Genesis game. I might also write about the GBA games just for the hell of it, and Discoalucard would decide what to do with those.

One game is a Sailor Moon game. However, there's some pretty decent Sailor Moon fighters out there as well as an awesome SFC RPG. That's perhaps another article right there.

That Sailor Moon game is not even made by Banpresto. This was discussed a few months ago at this message board, so I will not get into it again here.

Also, I know someone is working on a Toaplan shooters article. Is Air Gallet being covered in that article? Please let me know.

Toaplan had nothing to do with that game. Neither did Banpresto.

If it is down to just three games, then it might be worth considering abandoning it. I do not like to do that myself, but I have done it once before. Sometimes your plans are just going to fall apart, and the piece that you intended is not going to come into fruition. It sucks, but it happens.

I believe you guys forgot about the Tenchi Muyo RPG they made.

Then again, I haven't visited this area for a long time and I'm sleep-deprived, so I could've missed its mention somewhere.

I might be able to help with some of the DBZ fighters. I own Budokai's 1-3 and I know I have at least Tenkaichi 2--I have to check if I've got Tenkaichi 1. In any case, if you guys need a hand, I might be able to help with those.

You might have trouble doing the DBZ article. Dragonball Z V.R. V.S. for the arcade is currently not emulated by any emulator.

It looks like a cool game too.

Besides,on the Banpresto article, all of Banpresto's other games are either obscure anime licenses(Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba) or game series that need their own article and aren't developed by them(Super Robot Taisen).

[Revolver Ocelot]

Toaplan had nothing to do with that game. Neither did Banpresto.

Air Gallet was developed by Gazelle, which is made up of Toaplan employees, and it was published by Banpresto. I'd say that means both of them had something to do with it.

Also, I'd like to point out that 90% of the SD Gundam games out there are RPGs. Only a handful of them are action games.

I'd be happy to help you on the DBZ article, with the GBA games. I'd be happy to write about Supersonic Warriors and Adventure, as I really like both games.

At any rate, I'm putting this one on hold until I can think of a better way to go about it.

[mainpatr]

There's also SD Gundam SLGs for the Gamegear, Wonderswan and the MSX, a SD Gundam online shooting game for the PC over in Korea (http://gundam.netmarble.net) and some sort of really weird game for the Wonderswan Color.

Cave, 8ing/Raizing, and Takumi are also made up of former Toaplan employees. You could easily do a "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" kind of deal with the video game industry.

That isn't necessary. I may or may not write about those games. I have not decided exactly how I am going to expand it yet. It is "on hold" because I have a shitload of things to finish before I can get around to expanding it.
