unused content

[edit]

there should be a section for the unused content and data leaked from the various nintendo leaks Joltikandmew (talk) 16:57, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Do you have reliable sources to prove unused content is anywhere near notable? I'm not "in-the-know" of Video Game articles specifically, but I usually don't see sections on unused content or glitches on pages. That would fall under trivia, I believe.

https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_64_%28Nintendo_64%29 is a major source for unused content Joltikandmew (talk) 12:50, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
the catch here is that as a user-generated source, tcrf is not considered reliable. what we need is journalistic coverage of the unused content consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 13:03, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
tcrf has strict checks and rules in place to make sure that everything is true and accurate Joltikandmew (talk) 13:20, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Regarding, TCRF's reliability, it was discussed at WT:VG/S and the consensus was that the source is not suitable for use on Wikipedia because the model relies on user-generated content, much like many places do not accept Wikipedia articles as a reliable source because it has user-generated content.
The VG Project has compiled a list of sources it has vetted to be reliable, including a custom Google search made of those sources. I recommend using the custom search to see what has been covered outside TCRF. Hope it helps. (Guyinblack25 talk 13:59, 5 May 2026 (UTC))Reply

In the fan projects section could SM64 Star road be there?

[edit]

Super Mario 64 Star road is one of the most popular rom hacks for 64 and I don't see any mention of it anywhere, does it warrant a mention, or should it not be mentioned? (Please tell me if I'm wrong Just wondering) Jiovani1219 (talk) 07:08, 22 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Such article content should meet Wikipedia's definition of notability (i.e., it should have received coverage from reliable third party sources). While not impossible, the majority of fan projects don't receive such coverage. If you'd like to check, the VG Project has a custom Google search made of all the sources it has vetted to be reliable. Hope it helps. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:00, 22 December 2025 (UTC))Reply

[edit]

A person removed for the top page that the game is considered among the greatest andmost influential of all time. This was not backed up with good reasoning either, saying the source saying it was misinterpreted, even though it said in it that it was. But it should not even come down to one source, this game is widely regarded this by numerous sources if you just search up "list of grteatest games". If you go on the wikipedia page for "list of games considered the greatest", the game is on there, with numeorus sources (63!) backing it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_listed_among_the_best

This removal was unnessecary. ~2026-33702-40 (talk) 22:21, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
