List of Nintendo Entertainment System games
This one I have worked on for a while. The structure of the list has been cleaned up extensively. The list has been slightly expanded to include each game's developer as well as the regions in which each game was released. Instead of listing release dates by month and year, I changed it to simply the earliest year in which each game was released. The size of the list is only slightly larger than the original version; it is still under 80KB. I have also made it into one big, sortable list. (I think it's essential for a large list like this to be sortable.)

My hopes are that this list can possibly become an FL in the future. I want to see what can be done to get the list there.

Focuses:
 * Referencing — I've noticed that some lists are being forced to put a reference after every single game on the list, but I think that would be overkill, not to mention clutter up and exponentially increase the size of the article. I have four references, all of which are NES lists, including the official list released by Nintendo.
 * External Links — This section is not here, yet, but what would I place here that can't already be looked up by clicking on the references?
 * Linking — I've tried to cut down on the excessive usage of wikilinks, but since we're dealing with a sortable list, that can become problematic. Basically, if a game was published by the same company who developed it, the link was omitted in the Publisher column (since you can just simply click on the one in the Developer column). Very similar-looking list items also had their links removed. MuZemike (talk) 00:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Red Phoenix  flame of life...protector of all...

It's a great list, MuZemike, but I've got a few suggestions.
 * Not everyone knows what the region codes are. Try explaining them in the lead section, like what represents what region, and add some wikilinks.
 * The lead could use some more background info about the NES and its games. What more can you tell us to help understand the list?
 * The subject of the list is explained after explaining the parts of the list, which might leave some people who don't know what the NES is confused about it. Maybe you should reorganize it a little bit?
 * To be honest, I've never been too thrilled with the separation between the Famicom and NES lists. While I don't say it's a requirement, might I suggest you consider combining the two?  This step, however, is optional in my opinion if you want to get this past WP:FLC.
 * Cite more information in the opening paragraph in addition to adding more, such as citing that the last games released for the NES were those games (aka get a source).
 * I would also suggest you take a look at List of Sega 32X games and its FLC page since it is the most recently passed video game console games list and may provide you with some ideas.

Hope that helps you out some. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 04:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
