Re: NintendoLand

Hi Pusalieth. There's two reasons why your information was removed.

1. Sources - WP:YOUTUBE is typically not considered a reliable source on Misplaced Pages. It's too easy to fake stuff, because it relies on user generated info that anyone could supply. With a little work, just about anyone can upload a video of themselves with a crackpot theory of how they thought of a game idea first. It would be different if there was a source that couldn't be faked, for instance, an article from IGN or Eurogamer to confirm things. But then there's issue #2:
2. Coincidence - Is it really that big of a deal? It's not the most original idea in the world - slamming together a bunch of Nintendo characters in a mini-game collection. I don't think it's that uncommon for people to predict this sort of stuff. I'm sure as soon as Mario Kart came out, some guy out there though Hey, what if they put Sonic in a Kart racer?, or when Smash Bros came out, I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought What if Sony did the same thing?. I don't think it takes much to come up with these types of things before they are actually made... Sergecross73 msg me 14:17, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

It's incredibly improbable that "Nintendo used their idea." Video games take years to develop, so a video that appeared in 2011 could not have had influence on a game that was released only a year later. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 07:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Nintendo says it themselves that Nintendo Land started development the same time the Wii U started development. This makes your case completely false. Also, the time a game's announced does mean equal the time the game started development. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:49, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pusalieth. As Thomas is touching on above, there's a number of additional reasons that have been discussed on my talk page, on why we shouldn't put your theory on the NintendoLand article. Just notifying you of that. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 20:38, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Widr. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Kww that didn't seem very civil, so I removed it.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Widr (talk) 19:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
