Snatcher was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: October 26, 2007 |

[edit] Character descriptions
Removed the spoilers and sorted the characters by time of appearance in the game. Please correct this if necessary. 84.182.81.72 23:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- You think we should add more details to the character's profile. Ominae 03:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Snatcher CD-ROMantic
"Snatcher CD-ROMantic" - what format was this on? It doesn't actually say in the description. Was it the PC-Engine Super CD-ROM? Or was it released on other platforms too?
Also, there are unofficial English (unfinished) and Portuguese (finished) translations of the MSX2 version of Snatcher floating around, if anyone cares. --Zilog Jones 03:32, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Snatcher CD-Romantic was just another title for the PC Engine version.
-
- The English version of MSX2+ Snatcher has been finished for a few months, now. 87th 14:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] plot hole?
The picture of Jamie at the Moscow Olympics is not a plot hole. Examine it a few times and you will know what i mean. Manmonk 06:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
You mean how they say it must be a composite? In the Sega CD version, it must be. In the Japanese versions, it's probably a real photo. Theswillman 08:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KONAMI CODE
It should be noted that the KONAMI code has not been confirmed to alter the game in any way. It was reported in a magazine that it uncensored the game, but the problem is that the game was released uncensored (at least as far as we know, anc compared to the version that was supposed to be released).
The differences that we know were censored from the PC-Engine version are mainly the twitching of Alice's intestines and the partial nudity of Lisa's Snatched body after Junking it. But, the Sega CD version was apparently going to have more parts censored, Alice's scene was very different in the preview the magazines received (just view the GameFan shots of Alice http://junkerhq.net/Snatcher/Alice/index.html), and these are the ones that were supposed to be uncensored to the version we all know.
[edit] Possible Sequel
Should Project 'S' be mentioned in the article? I'm sure the average Snatcher fan would be interested in the possibility of a sequel. Richard Cane 08:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing has been said about Project S, the only basis is the letter S and the fact that suda is a fan. I don't think its very encyclopedic, its on the project s page, which i guess is alright for now... hopefully some word comes out soon but i say wait --JakeParker 03:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- We wait. That's it. Rumors are not encyclopedic.Cernex 06:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Neo Kobe Pizza
Can we add a small section for this?
- Do you have some soups in mind? -- 84.182.78.243 23:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
--No, this does not belong in the article. It is an insignificant side quest which has no effect on the plot. --Radicalfaith360 4/28/2008
[edit] Failed "good article" nomination
Upon its review on October 26, 2007, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:
contains cleanup banners including, but not limited to, {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, {{NPOV}}, {{unreferenced}}, etc, or large numbers of {{fact}}, {{clarifyme}}, {{huh}}, or similar tags
thus making it ineligible for good article consideration.
This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria. Expansion tag has been there since January 2007. Also, article completely lacks in-line citations and an official reference section. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Cheers, CP 03:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SNATCHER 004.JPG
Image:SNATCHER 004.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.

[edit] Merge proposal for SD Snatcher into this article
I was the one who proposed the merger. Right now, the article is just a stub and even if it ends up being expanded with a gameplay and plot section, the game is so closely tied to Snatcher, I don't see the point of having a separate article with mostly redundant information. Jonny2x4 (talk) 20:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Strong oppose. These are two distincly different games based on roughly the same story. As the name implies, SD Snatcher's graphic style is different, as is the game genre. -- Bakabaka (talk) 06:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Even if they're different games, they're still closely tied. Its an obscure spinoff of a semi-obscure cult game. I don't see how the gameplay of SD Snatcher and story differences with the original and CD-ROM versions couldn't be summarized in a single paragraph or two. I'm gonna expand the SD Snatcher once I've cleaned-up the main article, but if it ends up too short, expect a merge.Jonny2x4 (talk) 20:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I see your points, and they're valid. I'd like to add, though, that within the MSX2 game community, it was SD Snatcher that made a huge impression that lasted for years after its release. Admittedly, the MSX2 game community is an obscure part of game culture, buth within this community, it had effects most profound. Turn to any MSX(2)-related community and ask what the system's most impressive game was, and SD Snatcher is bound to be mentioned frequently. Especially in the Dutch MSX scene, many games and other software referenced or were inspired by SD Snatcher. Could this notability warrant a separate article? Of course, I'm willing to add this data to the article, but sadly I have few hard references. -- Bakabaka (talk) 12:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
