Talk:List of Virtual Console games for Wii (North America)/Archives/2011/November

The Simpsons Arcade Game
I noticed that the page for The_Simpsons_Arcade_Game states that it will be released for Wii virtual console, though provides no good source to back that up. Indeed if does a google search for "Simpsons arcade game wii" you find a link to the wikipedia entry for the game, as well as various assorted blog entries by people citing it.

I bring this up here to point out the discrepancy between the two articles; I view this entry as more reliable and more likely to be correct on the matter. 74.79.62.75 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC).


 * I checked the article, and it looks like an editor there has already taken care of it. Someone added info suggesting it was going to not only Virtual Console, but also Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, none of which has been announced in reliable publications yet. -- McDoob  AU  93  16:18, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Coming Soon
Why are most of those titles in the Future Releases still listed? A lot of them have been there since 2009. I think it's safe to say they were planned at one point but have been cancelled or, at the very least, are on indefinite hiatus. By keeping them on the list, they only give the hopes up of people waiting for those games. Really, the only ones I could see keeping are Double Dragon 2, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and Super Street Fighter II (Genesis), because at least those sources are from this year.

 * I don't know about keeping people's hopes up. The reason they're there is that reliable information has said they're to be released. If, however, reliable information appears indicating the games are NOT to be released, then they should be removed. As I've seen on other articles, the only way to obsolete a cited bit of information is to have a newer cited bit of information to replace it. I edit an article that had a statistic sourced to a 1985 Time article. I tried to remove it using the same rationale (it's way too old), but since the source was still legitimate and there wasn't a newer version to replace it, the info was restored. To that end, I'd only advocate removing them if a source says they're canceled. Till then, they should stay as "TBA". -- McDoob  AU  93  16:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Archiving
There's a lot of older discussions on here, and there appears to have been some previous manual archives made. Has anyone given thought to setting up MiszaBot to archive this page every 6 months or so? That way people could find more current discussions more quickly? Opinions? -- McDoob AU  93  16:33, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
