It appears Ace Attorney would be elligible for an affiliation. For NMH, nothing has been decided yet

Level 3

well NMH is in a similar position with Ace Attorney

Awesome!

We should consider collaborating with a AA fansite such as Court Records. I'm sure any fansite would bring an interested community with them.

Revised list

1) Franchises in the NIWA

-The Legend of Zelda (Zelda Wiki)
-Pokémon (Bulbapedia)

2) Franchises with plans regarding NIWA membership
-Metroid (Metroid Wiki)
-Kirby (WiKirby)
-Wars (Wars Wiki)
-Star Fox (Lylat Wiki)

-Smash Bros. (Reserved by NIWA staff)

3) Popular Nintendo Franchises Without Independent Wikis
-F-Zero
-Fire Emblem (Possible member in FEWiki)
-Earthbound/Mother
-Pikmin
-Nintendogs (Does this belong here? It really is only one game with numerous variations)
-Punch-Out!!
-Ace Attorney
-Trauma Center (I'm assuming this is in the same boat as Ace Attorney; I may be wrong)

4) Franchises that would belong in a meta-wiki
-Too many to list

i could get a Mother/Earthbound wiki going, after the star fox one is up.

So if that's the case, is it possible for a Megaman Wiki to be considered? Or are there too many games on Playstation for that? (Ex. Any X game after 3 along with some remakes.)

I guess.

Mega Man isn't a nintendo franchise, as in:
1) developed by a first part company, in house of nintendo.
2) developed by a second party company, then published by nintendo.

The second one, doesn't always apply, like certain Rare Titles.

however it still could be approved for affiliation like Ace Attorney and FYI, they are megaman and ace attorney are both made by Capcom.

I think Megaman is not ellegible

What if the wiki were to center around the Megaman series that are predominantly Nintendo? Like the classic ones and Battle Network

Well, also you've got to take into consideration the chance it will be in future smash bros, and the fact that some of those games were re-released on non-nintendo systems.

Check this wikipedia link out maybe it will help clarify some things.

I would agree that first- and second-party titles should be in and third-party are on a case-by-case basis. Megaman is clearly a third-party title (with one exception*), and isn't exactly nintendo-exclusive. Ace Attorney, however, is technically a second-party series. In Australia, the original Phoenix Wright trilogy was published by Nintendo (of Australia). Thus, three of the five Ace Attorney games are second-party, with the others being Nintendo exclusive (the games being ported to the iPhone are actually the second-party titles). Call it loophole abuse, but that's how it is.

Page on Wikipedia, note the "Nintendo of Australia" in the Publishers field
Australian Boxart, note the Nintendo logo in the bottom-right corner

*Now, to be fair, Megaman can use the same loophole, to an extent. Megaman X (the game, not the series) was published by Nintendo in Europe. However, this is one game of at least 40, while the majority of Ace Attorney titles are second-party.

This is a better link, it shows first- and second-party titles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchises_established_on_Nintendo_systems

I think it can be demoted to "minor franchises".

I was kinda hoping this would be a Nintendo site, not a games only on Nintendo systems site, but whatever

tacopill

yea. Me too. No offence to the companies and/or franchises, but Nintendo Franchises are a step above in terms of consistent quality, replay-ability and nostalgia-causing effects.

What I was saying is that Ace Attorney is a second-party series, being published by Nintendo. Series like Kirby (which is developed by HAL Laboratory) and Fire Emblem (which is developed by Intelligent Systems) are second-party, so it isn't much of a reach.

So series like Sonic, Megaman, etc. wouldn't be covered, but Ace Attorney is an exception.

Nintendo was Publisher for Ace Attorney only in Australia

you don't seem to get the point of what we are trying to say do you?

Just because it isn't "OMG NINTENDO PUBLISHES THIS EVERYWHERE !!!!!" doesn't mean it can't qualify as a Nintendo Franchise. There's always room for exceptions and there's always room for doubt.
