[edit] Takahashi Meijin no Bugtte Honey?
I can't find much information on this game, which seems to be Famicom-only. It's definitely a part of the series, but seems to be more of a girl-oriented spinoff, and includes minigames of Breakout.
Also, I noticed a lot of inconsistancies across the Adventure Island articles - the name of the series is Takahashi Meijin no Boukenjima, but some of the miscellaneous misnamings on Wikipedia include "Takahashi Meijin Mo Boukenjima" (in addition to 'm' instead of 'n', 'no' is a part of speech that should not be capitalized in romanization), "Takahashi Meijin no Daiboukenjima", and "Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken Shima". Please fix this!
Why exactly does this article bother listing information on one of what are surely hundreds of primitive game hacks? Is a Wilford Brimley Oats version of the game rom data that important? --68.9.122.130 19:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template
I've recently created and added an Adventure Island template to most of the Adventure Island-related articles. If you have any questions or comments please contact me on my talk page. --TBC??? ??? ??? 04:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
This sentence sounds a little biased:
"Adventure Island is considered by many as a slightly depraved version of Wonder Boy but still managed to sell more copies than its SMS counterpart due to the lack of popularity of the Sega Master System in North America and Japan." If a reliable source can be cited that says that "Adventure Island is considered by many" to be of lesser quality than Wonder Boy, I'm fine with that. But it seems to me like this statement was simply fabricated by one of the editors of this article. If a source can be cited, cool. But if there can't be, I say either the sentence be deleted or stated in a more NPOV.
- I rephrased it so that the claim that many consider it to be a depraved version was omitted. However, I'm wondering if the remaining portion of the statement needs a source. 67.161.208.225 18:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anime
Wasn't there an anime based on this game series? Does anybody happen to know what it's called? I remember watching it as a kid, but it was dubbed and renamed. I have been searching the net, but I can't seem to find either its original Japanese title or even its English title (if one exists). --ChibiKareshi 09:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind. I was able to find it by looking up the Japanese name of the game in Google. For anyone interested, the anime is called "Bug tte Honey" (Ｂｕｇってハニー). I'll leave up to you guys to decide whether or not this is something worth mentioning in the article. --ChibiKareshi 09:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
