Removing EarthBound 64

As has been linked repeatedly, Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Navboxes is why EarthBound 64 was removed. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Given the huge cult following of EB, I feel this is a worthy exception. We need more opinions though. Miserlou 06:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

EB has a huge cult following. EB64 was one form of a game eventually released in an entirely different form. I don't see ahuge EB64 cult following. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Alt. names

  • I was thinking of adding Earthbound Zero in parenthesis for Mother and Mother 2 in parenthesis for Earthbound.--Ashitaka96 | E-mailTalk | 17:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Color scheme

I'm not so hot on the recent purple color scheme. How is it reflective of the series? czar  17:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was based on http://invalidopinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Earthbound.jpeg --Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:23, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that this edit was much of a "cleanup" now that it looks like mud... I chose "grey" because a variant of it was the only other color that consistently fit, although maybe olive or lime would work.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 06:34, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What? It was cleaning up syntax. As for the "mud", the color is to match the red/white/black/gold color scheme used throughout the series (EarthBound's separate color scheme is the outlier). czar  06:56, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The black text was a big improvement somehow.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 19:27, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It makes the contrast a smidgeon better. I tried to make the gold lighter too, but this shade matched best czar  19:59, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've removed the colour scheme. Navboxes are not arbitrarily decorative, and to be frank, it was an eyesore. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'Earthbound Beginnings' to replace 'Mother'

It's official. The English name now is Earthbound Beginnings therefore should replace 'mother' in the template. SimpsonsMan1234 (talk) 08:13, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
