CAVE developed Touge?[edit]

Cave did develop the Touge series, correct? I'm not 100% sure, but most sites say this. Also, quite a few sites say they developed Yanya Caballista on ps2, though others say it was Koei. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linko111 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So I hear. I'll add it later. Elm-39 - T/C 13:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Computer Amusement Video Entertainment[edit]

Anyone know exactly what CAVE means? Rumor is the above. Elm-39 - T/C 19:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the same is given on the French and Japanese CAVE pages. I think I'm adding it. Elm-39 - T/C 13:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Releases[edit]

I think it'd be more useful and relevant to sort the list of releases by the developer chronologically, rather than chronologically divided by each seperate publisher.

New links![edit]

Added a link to the newly created Muchi Muchi Pork! article, as well as the Progear article. Ducksandwich (talk) 13:25, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus on the correct spelling of Dodonpachi[edit]

We have multiple articles with either Dodonpachi, DoDonPachi, or Do-Don-Pachi as the title. Sources like GameFAQs write the games without hyphens. However, on some official merchandise CAVE has written the name as Do-Don-Pachi. It is time to reach a consensus on how to title our articles given that at the moment we have a mixture of different versions of the name. For example, the article DoDonPachi employs the second convention whereas Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu uses the third, and Do-Don-Pachi Saidaioujou has a mixture of styles. We need to settle on the use of either:

  • Dodonpachi
  • DoDonPachi
  • Do-Don-Pachi

This could also apply to some extent to Mushihimesama, since the wiki article wikipedia is titled Mushihime-sama but in this case I've never seen that spelling before.

I think that there can't be a more authoritative voice than the author itself, so if CAVE writes the name as Do-Don-Pachi, that should be the way to go. As far as I know, GameFAQs is a collaborative project so, while it can be a valuable source, its reliability is more or less on par with, for instance, Wikipedia. --Canyq (talk) 00:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that even CAVE contradicts itself in this matter. Here are three examples where the names are written differently: Dodonpachi, DoDonPachi, and Do-Don-Pachi. Jotamide (talk) 00:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I decline comment on this issue. Sorry.--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:49, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Jotamide: I've realized that in your first link, the screenshot of title screen on the left shows title written as "DO-DON-PACHI" (with hyphens), the second one is about DoDonPachi Blissful Death, but according to this screenshot, title in title screen is also written with hyphens. However, I can't tell what's the correct option right now, considering that Cave itself is not consistent... --Canyq (talk) 05:38, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DoDonPachi seems the most proper... Magicperson6969 (talk) 03:23, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I will go with this convention and remove all hyphens from game titles. The listings on GameFAQs and the iOS localized games do not have hyphens on them. Jotamide (talk) 18:41, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with DoDonPachi, but not entirely with Mushihime-sama. Sama (様 or さま) is a title, as is kun (くん), chan (ちゃん), or san (さん). You wouldn't render "Mr. Smith" as "Mrsmith". Instead of putting it together like it's one word, why not just replace the hyphen with a space? ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 18:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Despite you being 100% correct I already made a request for a name change for both pages. The game has been written as "Mushihimesama" in official releases, merchandise, etc. I'm more concerned about having the most widely-used names for each article to make it easier for people to find them, than having a correct name just for the sake of having good grammar. Jotamide (talk) 19:08, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that a valid case has been made above that the common names omit the hyphens. I'm a bit concerned at the claim there can't be a more authoritative voice than the author itself, you might like to take a look at WP:official names before pressing that line of argument. If the common name argument works in some cases only then there may be a case for documenting a specific naming convention, but that seems unnecessary to me on the evidence above.

In view of this I've performed the requested move of the Mushihimesama Futari article. I'm happy to revisit this if this seems in error, but it seemed the best way forward to me at this stage. Andrewa (talk) 15:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that the Mushihimesama article has been similarly moved by another admin to eliminate the hyphen, again citing this discussion as the reason for the move. We seem to me to have a good consensus. Andrewa (talk) 21:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just read WP:official names, thank you for the link. However, if the preferred title is the most common one, in this case I can't think of a way to determine it... --Canyq (talk) 01:18, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
