Would it be better if all merchandise pages are merged into this page? Mario Signature.png 15:34, October 10, 2014 (EDT)

I think that as the Merchandise section expands one page will become insufficient very quickly. However, I do think we need to think a bit more about how we want to organize our Merchandise section. Right now it is organized according to item type. I think that this is a good start, but as it stands our pages do very little other than provide pictures of merchandise. In the future I would like to see suborganization by game (most merchandise is released to promote a specific title or work) and brand with some information on each item's release date and if possible, price.
I would also like to bring up a very pressing question- what about amiibo and amiibo cards? The animal crossing e-cards are hidden away in the Merchandise section. Do amiibo belong there too?
Lastly, SuperHamster, you condensed the styluses and cases into Merchandise/DS Accessories. I think that is fine for the time being, but we need to incorporate content from Merchandise/Cases, and we need to figure out how to organize the sections listed on Merchandise since Accessories no longer has subsections. Lastly, I question whether we should have 3DS merchandise listed on a DS Accessories page. I recognize the 3DS is a continuation of the DS line, but I think it's a bit confusing nonetheless.
