For Mobile?
[edit]Shouldn';t there at least be a paragraph for the game on mobile? It is in the mobile phone category
- I honestly can barely find any proof of the mobile version's supposed existence. I can see the article has barely been updated since this Mobile question was asked in 2006 lol. Spilia4 (talk) 04:31, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Port developer
[edit]Re [1] @Lordtobi, I think you're thinking of Grunty's Revenge Missions, which is just a compilation of the minigames. There was also a full mobile port of the main Grunty's Revenge game. JOEBRO64 20:57, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- Well I found this gameplay footage (which reads "Grunty's Revenge: MOBILE") and it looks much like it has the same overall gameplay mechanics like the GBA game, but looks like it uses a vastly different engine and looks extremely different too. Lordtobi (✉) 21:02, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- I still don't think those are substantial enough to have them listed as developers in the infobox though. The graphics, presentation, and gameplay may be scaled down a bit, but it's still the same basic game; same gameplay, levels, characters, and plot. For precedence, FA Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn't credit Virtuos (who developed the 8th gen remaster) in the infobox, even though their version uses a different engine.

- I think the difference is that Virtuos took an existing, finished game and changed a couple lines of code (port) as well as cleaned up some textures (remaster), while In-Fusio took the same creative direction and characters but built an entirely new game around it, including own art direction, own engine programming, own audio development etc. Gameplay and plot is thr only thing they did not make themselves.

I'll take this one on as I've no personal interest in the series and it looks interesting. If I'm not back with comments in a few days, please ping. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- Review comments
On the whole, this article doesn't need alterations. It's an interesting read, and I think this is an Instant Pass. One thing I will comment on, but doesn't actually impact the article's promotion, is the red link for In-Fusio. Is there going to be an article soon, or can the red link be removed? Also, the company is written as "InFusio" later on. Which is correct? --ProtoDrake (talk) 11:32, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
Spelling errors...
[edit]Words such as "installment" and "favorably" were spelled incorrectly, and one other user believes otherwise. DawgDeputy (talk) 02:20, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- DawgDeputy, the article is written in British English. Per WP:RETAIN, we retain the existing variety, not squabble about one or the other. JOEBRO64 02:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
