Talk:Namco × Capcom

Character list

The list of characters is growing too long; I suggest it be trimmed down to characters who have an important role in the plot. I'm starting by removing the mooks. Kouban 02:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Namco capcom.jpg

Image:Namco capcom.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

No staff?

Does wikipedia have an official stance that says "no staff sections in video game articles"? Kouban (talk) 04:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Either that or it's just standard practice. Generally, any important staff members are included in the development section and the others don't matter. If you really don't believe that, just ask over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games. On the other hand, audio sections are found in most developed game articles.

Astaroth

The Astaroth that appears in Namco x Capcom is the character from the Ghosts & Goblins series of games by Capcom. He is NOT the character from the Soul Calibur series of games by Namco. I have played through NxC twice, and the only enemy character to appear in it is Charade. If you need a source, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEmBInzST0s Astaroth appears at 4:52.

Cross symbol

I’ve been looking all over the Internet for an explanation of the “×” symbol I’ve been seeing everywhere in Japanese pop culture lately (Namco × Capcom, Street Fighter × Tekken, this × that...), its origin, how it’s pronounced, etc. This article has the only explanation I’ve found anywhere online in English, and it certainly sounds plausible, but it’s not cited... could somebody please satisfy my burning curiosity by checking this explanation against a reliable source and listing it? Thank you! Cherry Cotton (talk) 05:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

It's pronounced Cross. Sorry that I took 11 years for someone to reply Baconcartoonist (talk) 19:03, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

I like Japanese games....I'll get to this by the end of the year. TarkusAB^talk 14:48, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Gameplay

• " a sidelong perspective." I've never heard that term before, sidelong. Is it just me? Maybe another word can be used instead.

Synopsis

No comment

Development

• " The game was directed and written by Soichiro Morizumi, a former employee of Super Robot Wars creator Banpresto." This sentence seems to suggest, but does not confirm, that he worked on Super Robot Wars. Did he we know if he worked on Super Robot Wars at all? Otherwise it seems strange to mention it the series. Mentioning Banpresto is fine however.
• "  The only music he was involved in with the project, it was Koshiro's first time writing a vocal theme. " This sentence reads really funny. Can you rewrite it?

Reception

No comment

Legacy

No comment

Lead

• " The project was proposed by Namco by Monolith Soft" Two "by"s, which one? Did you mean "for Namco by Monolith Soft"?

Just had a few comments on this one. TarkusAB^talk 15:03, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

@TarkusAB: Done my best. Hope it's alright. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:22, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Where do people get "Brave New World" from?

According to multiple sources on a google search for "subarashiki", "Subarashiki Shin Sekai" translates to "Wonderful/Magnificent New World" not "Brave New World". I've added a "citation needed" tag accordingly. Mattwo7 (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

It's the title of Project X Zone 2 in Japan Baconcartoonist (talk) 19:04, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Also I am aware of the lyrics and normally I would agree but but basing the name on that is speculation, which is violative of WP:NOR. Even if it wasn't, I'm pretty sure YouTube videos and lyric websites don't fit the notability guidelines. Mattwo7 (talk) 02:33, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
