Talk:Virtual Boy Wario Land

Why the title is "Virtual Boy Wario Land" and not "Wario Land (Virtual Boy)"
I have been asked this twice already, so I'm going to go ahead and just put the logic here for future reference.

 * 1) The box says Virtual Boy Wario Land
 * 2) The cartridge says Virtual Boy Wario Land
 * 3) The title screen says Virtual Boy Wario Land
 * 4) GameFAQs, MobyGames, GameSpot, and Planet Virtual Boy all refer to it as Virtual Boy Wario Land.
 * 5) Note how it never says "Wario Land for Virtual Boy". The "Virtual Boy" is part of the subtitle of the game, much like how Eternal Darkness' full title is actually Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
 * 6) Most importantly: It's really just a rearangement of words from "Wario Land (Virtual Boy)", so what does it really matter? This way drops the parentheses and looks better.

Best title on the Virtual Boy?
I was the only kid on my block that owned a virtual boy and this game, the tennis game, and some space themed shooter were the only ones worth owning on this system. However i think this was Either the best selling game for the virtual boy or the most well received by critics. That would be worth a mention in the article imo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.34.81 (talk) 20:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Weird game rating "16.9/10" from Nintendo Power
It seems like the Nintendo Power rating was copied to Wikipedia wrong. The way it's written in the magazine is actually a bit odd: the magazine has a table labeled "Power Meter Ratings" and each game is listed under 4 categories. https://archive.org/stream/Nintendo_Power_Issue001-Issue127/Nintendo%20Power%20Issue%20079%20December%201995#page/n111/mode/2up

Here are the "Power Meter Ratings" for Virtual Boy Wario Land:

I have no idea what the letters represent, but it looks like each number is out of 5, so should the rating at least be changed to out of 20 (16.9/20) if not removed completely? CubeBag (talk) 22:39, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Letters stand for "Graphics", "Playability", "Control", and "Total", I believe. The last number should be used, not added with the other numbers. Namcokid  47  (Contribs) 22:50, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Just as a follow-up, I've removed it from the reviews infobox. Per WP:STICKTOSOURCE we shouldn't interpret these ratings and averaging it. It gives the impression that publications (in this case Nintendo Power) gave it an overall rating. While they would later give overall marks, in this case, they did not.
