Talk:Parodius

PSP
On the official page the original MSX Pariodius will be the 5th game so I changed it.

Parodius V
Treasure did quite well on Gradius V. I'm looking forward to their entry on Parodius. -James A. Calwell III 02:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Cleaning the Page
Ok so the page doesn't look that bad. It is SCREAMING for pictures though.

Anyone want to put some ? Bragador 22:54, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Non-Japanese Releases
The article says Parodius Da! and Gokujō Parodius! were released in Europe, but I believe it's actually the deluxe pack of those 2 games, and titled simply "Parodius". As far as I know, this is the only Parodius game outside of Japan. Anybody else got info? --ScarletSpiderDave 06:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The PS/Saturn versions were only released in the Deluxe Pack, yes. The arcade versions, however, were also released in Europe, not to mention the NES, SNES and Game Boy ports of Parodius Da!. TerokNor 08:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The European release of Parodius for Playstation contains two playable games one named Parodius, the other Fantastic Journey. I'll have to double check that they correspond with Parodius Da! and Gokujō Parodius! Stx 12:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to confirm; the European Parodius release has Gokujō Parodius! as Fantastic Journey and Parodius Da! as Parodius. Stx 19:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Why Japanese titles?
Even though a number of Parodius games had an English release in Europe, the articles generally primarily refer to the Japanese titles and terms (including the article titles), with the European names seemingly being secondary, but it should be the other way around per the guidelines of the English Wikipedia. --Grandy02 (talk) 21:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Viewing older versions of the pages in the page histories implies that the first author/s were simply not aware of the existence of English releases. If nobody complains, I attempt to move Parodius Da! and Gokujō Parodius! to Parodius (1990) and Fantastic Journey respectively, due to the guideline of using English titles. --Grandy02 (talk) 09:12, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Otomedius
Is there a source for Otomedius being part of the Parodius series? I could not find any such claim on the OHP or on the Japanese Wikipedia. -Seventh Holy Scripture (talk) 21:51, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I also think there is no point in including Otomedius with Parodius. Perhaps both of them share the same light-hearted environment and the fact of being derivative series from Parodius but, beyond that, I can't see why they should be considered as part of the same series.--Canyq (talk) 23:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
