 * It is. I'll go ahead and merge them. Hattes 19:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Organization:
I somewhat re-organized the article a bit. I'm trying to follow the model of games like Sakura Wars (video game), which had an original release, and then a later enhanced remake. In that article it's organized: Gameplay --> Plot --> Development --> Release --> Reception. The PS2 remake is included under Release, and reception covers both the original and remake.

That model could work for Wild Guns. An alternative is to take all of the information in Reloaded and put it into its own section, and add its own infobox.

Alternatively, we could treat Wild Guns and Reloaded as simply one game. This would mean the infobox would include both the information on the snes release, as well as the Reloaded release. This is likely how the page would be written if the time-span between the versions was relatively short.

What makes the most sense? Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Reloaded is a very different game, so I don't think they should share an infobox. I think what you did is fine. TarkusAB talk 12:01, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Coverage
Reloaded had a lot of coverage in the media, including new interviews. Here's one from Dengeki online. It should cover info on both the original game and the re-release. There's tons more out there, especially in Japanese.

I guarantee that Famitsu reviewed the original. It's just not on the site. If we can find that, it'd be nice to have their review numbers for both the original and the re-release. The reception section for Reloaded can also be expanded. Also, Game Center CX did an episode on Wild Guns, which could be another source of info for basic information. It's a mix of documentary sections and reality tv game show where a man has to beat the games. They include sections covering bits of information about the game.

 * All good points, I just haven't had the time to flesh out that part of the article and I don't think there's anyone else interested in doing it. TarkusAB talk 12:03, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Found a review in German language Mega Fun that was pretty mediocre, giving it just 66% score for fun. Harizotoh9 (talk) 14:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

European release date:
What source is there for the October 30, 1996 release date in Europe? Maniac's website lists July 1995 as a date. Super Play (UK) reviewed the JP version in issue 24 (Oct 1994), and in issue 31 (May 1995), did a small write up of the game and listed the review score in their "New to the UK" section. That implies the game released, or intended to be soon released.

I know nothing about the game, I'm just a bit confused based on what I've read. And nothing in the body discusses the EU release. Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:41, 23 November 2018 (UTC) Double checking, it looks like Maniac is referencing the issue the review came out in, not when the game came out. But the general point still remains: all the EU mags were reviewing the game ina period in mid 1995, not a year and a half later. Plus, searching for the Oct 30, 1996 release date doesn't seem to bring up anything. The most parsimonious analysis seems to be that the 96 date is in error.
