In West Germany

edit

which company distrubuted the NES in West Germany, can anyone tell me? Hewwoh (talk) 21:23, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

idk maybe its time to split the famicom and nes pages again

edit

1. the famicom is two years older than the nes

2. it wasnt just released in japan, according to super mario wiki it was officially released in hong kong and taiwan

3. famicom and nes are two pages on japanese wiki, and they got a fundamentally different game library

4. they look nothing alike. only thing in common is hardware

imho it should be split again Memphis1525 (talk) 16:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

General oppose. As noted about, only thing in common is hardware. They are the same system, just with different housing and marketing based on geographical areas. -- ferret (talk) 16:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
what about the hong kong thing tho, they got both nes AND famicom. did you read the other points Memphis1525 (talk) 16:48, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Opposed. They're the same system. Sergecross73 msg me 20:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The differences can be summarised within the scope of a single article. If we split this into two articles we'd have to duplicate 90% of the content on both. Popcornfud (talk) 04:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
make it like mario wiki then Memphis1525 (talk) 04:46, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, yes, Mariowiki. The thinking man's Wikipedia. Popcornfud (talk) 04:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't believe Mario wiki is something to aspire to. That's not an improvement at all. Sergecross73 msg me 14:29, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
okay fine
this place is super western biased lol. not everyone lives in america Memphis1525 (talk) 15:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
This isn't a western thing. There is no functional difference between the Famicom and the NES beyond exterior design. It makes no sense to discuss them separately -- though making sure to discuss the national impact of the Famicom in Japan and the NES in the US/North America. Masem (t) 17:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
you focus too much on the nes part.
soon you mfs would be calling windows vista and 7 the exact same thing lmfaoooooo ZacharyFDS/Memphis1525 (talk) 14:40, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
