New Alliance Requests

[tacopill]

Sadly, I don't believe that it's a "Nintendo Franchise" as has been defined in the post you cite. However, the series has a long history on Nintendo consoles, with a good bulk of them (over 75%) being on Nintendo consoles. It may not be the most "faithful" of franchises, but it is a franchise of respectable size that is still growing. I feel it would be a shame not to include Harvest Moon/Rune Factory in NIWA.

True. If the organization decides to open up to franchises that aren't just by nintendo, but rather to include 3rd party franchises that are basically nintendo-exclusives, i think we should definitly try to get them in.

Out of curiosity, what company is priniciply responsible for the franchise?

This is a small consideration for now and not a real request, but I wanted NIWA to know early off: Yesterday I launched a Wikkii hosted website focussing on the Balloon Fight series at http://balloon.wikkii.com/.

I am interested in the series, owning two games (Balloon Fight and Balloon Kid) though I could not find any other wikis focussing on information about any other Balloon Fight games, (with the exception of ZeldaWiki with an article about Tingle's Balloon Fight DS and Wikipedia's page about Balloon Fight, which briefly mentions the series) so I decided to start my own Balloon Fight Wiki for other people to read and contribute to.

At the moment there are only 20 articles but I wanted to ask whether anybody likes the idea. Of course, in concept Balloon Fight wiki realistically would not be ready for affiliation until the later months of 2011. The articles at the moment are very short with the most informative article being Fish at 3,864 bytes.

Welcome aboard Torchic, and cool that you have started a wiki. Feel free to explore and post on these forums for any help you need. I am sure there is at least one person around here who could come up with a solution for whatever problem you have, you just got to get the wiki out there to attract editors.

Please keep in mind, in order to be a member, you will eventually need to be independent of any wiki farm. Still, Wikkii is a good start, as they give you a lot of control over the wiki, while asking for minimal in return.

Welcome again, and i look forward to seeing the Wiki grow.

Out of curiosity, what company is priniciply responsible for the franchise?

Harvest Moon (? Bokuj? Monogatari?, lit. "The Farm Story") is a series of life simulation/farm simulation/role-playing video games produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous Entertainment in 2003) and was originally created by Yasuhiro Wada in 1996.

From Wikipedia.

There is a Wikia... can't find a independent one tho. Couple other Wikifarms ones.

[Naesala]

if Harvest Moon can join what about Dragon Quest?

i was kind of hoping he would tell me 

if Harvest Moon can join what about Dragon Quest?

I Would need to take it up with the staff. But worth a try.

[KidIcarus]

I think Natsume is in charge of Harvest Moon.

Ok, is there any other wiki's based on franchises also by Natsume?

They developed Kirby: Squeak Squad and Ninja Gaiden Shadow. They also published Medabots Infinity for the GameCube. Aside from Harvest Moon, they don't really own any major franchises. Most of their work has been with one game in a series, or ports, or licensed games.

ah well.

Maybe they will release enough series to get an IWA one day...

Is the Eggerland series considered a Nintendo series because it is published by HAL Laboratory, albeit mostly on non-Nintendo systems?

[Axiomist]

I've considered covering them on WiKirby, since Lolo and Lala are basically Kirby characters now. Consider how Mario Wiki covers spin offs.

[KidIcarus]

Are Eggerland and The Adventures of Lolo the same series?

[TurtwigA]

Eggerland is the parent series of it. I've always considered it as the parent series of the Kirby series as well.

Not really, they just do English localization and distribution...

[BrandedOne]

According to Wikipedia, Victor Interactive Software originally produced Harvest Moon, but Marvelous Entertainment Inc. acquired it in 2003 when they bought out VIS.

So sadly, Harvest Moon really can't join.

Yes they can. Who cares if they're nintendo or not? They're nintendo enough lol. See strategy wiki joined. Nintendo-ness is something we really need to work on. We have decided that eventually there will be some foundation with grounds to add any independent wiki. But not now..
