Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/December 10

Today's featured article for December 10, 2024
Shovel Knight Showdown is a 2019 fighting video game developed and published by Yacht Club Games. It is an add-on to the platform game Shovel Knight. Players battle using one fighter among twenty characters, each with various movesets and fighting styles. Modes include "Treasure Clash", to collect the most gems, and a "free for all" battle to death. In story mode, a single player battles against AI-controlled opponents across several stages before facing a boss. Completing this mode with each fighter allows the player to unlock new stages and characters. Yacht Club Games envisioned Showdown as a small minigame similar to modes in Mega Man 7 (1995) and Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988). The developers gradually built a more expansive title which they compared to a party game. Showdown was released for Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Wii U on December 10, 2019. It received average reviews on release, with praise towards its characters and multiplayer gameplay, but many reviewer's criticized the single-player mode for its difficulty balancing.

The traffic light thing should be removed, it is disputed.70.246.229.183 01:12, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Would you like to bring this up at Talk:Traffic light first ? -- PFHLai 07:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Something about popular culture?...

4 out of the 5 articles are about politics/revolution/armed clashes, the 5th is about science. How about the mix of topics as mentioned in the 'On this Day" guidelines? This day is the anniversary of the first time the words "Grand Old Opry" were mentioned either prior to or immediately after (will check sources before any "On this Day" claims are made) a radio-performance by DeFord Bailey. Shearonink (talk) 20:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I've sourced all the statements regarding this anniversary in the related Grand Ole Opry and Deford Bailey articles and am going to be WP:BOLD and change the present lineup per my statement above re: the mix of topics. Shearonink (talk) 13:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
