Item talk:NES (Animal Crossing)

Split DnM and DnM+ version of item to Item:Disk System (Doubutsu no Mori+)
We need to address this. This item's name as the NES is factually wrong when it's outputted on and -related pages like Furniture/Doubutsu no Mori+, because the model of this item is not the NES, it's the Famicom Disk System. Note that while does share the same name of the item, yet is modeled after the NES, it's more of Nintendo's fault for improperly localizing the item for Japan. Therefore, I propose to move the, , and version of the NES item to Item:Disk System (Doubutsu no Mori+), and leave this page for the  and  version of the item.

In case anyone isn't aware with the situation with the NES/Famicom, there's a video by Akfamilyhome that explains more in detail as to the differences between the NES, the Famicom, and the Famicom Disk System here, but to summarize neither systems share the same components and hardware, they're shaped differently and neither can share ones controller, and each have their own exclusive games. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 14:27, November 22, 2022 (EST)


 * I this. Even if the items serve the same function, they are conceptually different, and it's not right to conflate the two anyway. After all, we don't cover the paintings that were directly replaced on the same page. I think if these split, it would also follow that Item:Well Model (Animal Crossing) is split into Item:Shrine Model (Doubutsu no Mori+) (currently a redirect), but maybe that should be a separate discussion.

 * — It's clear that the Disk System and NES are the same item, just with different designs. They are both based on the same thing, as the NES for all intents and purposes is the Western version of the Famicom; since the Disk System was never released outside of Japan, they changed the item to be just the console. It's really no different from something like the, where a Japanese-centric design of something was changed to its American equivalent. To address the issue of the NES name showing up in tables of DnM/DnM+ items, we could always add another name parameter to PGFurniture and query that for those lists. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 22:50, December 1, 2022 (EST)
 * Counter-argument: we don't have and  under the same page, even if they share the same Japanese name. I also believe it would be tedious to go ahead and add a separate parameter just to fix the name of this item in cargo queries. The intend was to fix an inaccurate terminology that describes a furniture item's name, and as it stand the Disk System being labeled as NES in DnM+-related pages make us wholly inaccurate with how we cover first gen content. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 22:59, December 1, 2022 (EST)
 * The pleasant feeling painting and classic painting are based on two completely different things and thus are two unique items; the latter replaced the former, it's not a different design of it. Washington Crossing the Delaware is not the American version of Olympia; they're two completely separate paintings. The NES on the other hand is the American version of the Famicom. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 00:13, December 2, 2022 (EST)
