Talk:Vectorman/Archive 1

I am a fan of Vectorman

As you may be able to tell from my username, I am a fan of Vectorman. Not so much the game, as the coolness of the character. Anyway, I'm posting because I have my doubts about the release date listed for this game. I have several promotional items which all say "V-Day October 24th." I honestly wasn't around when this game came out, so I can't verify off of personal experience if it did come out on the date the promotional materials say. Also, gamefaqs.com has the european release date as 11/30/05. Considering Blue Sky was US based and most games are released earlier Stateside, I would assume that this corroborates the October Release date.

I'm sort of new to editing wiki's so I'm not sure if I will go ahead and try to edit it myself yet.

VC Release

It has not been released on the virtual console in North America someone Please Change this mistkae 03:56, 10 May 2007 User:69.255.70.211

It has not been scheduled for release later this year, either, as far as I know. No one knows when it's coming to the North American VC. If someone knows otherwise, a citation should be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.46.11 (talk) 13:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless

Why to tell about not including Street of Rage-series and Bonanza Bros in Sonic Gems Collection? This info has nothing to do with either of Vectorman-games. 08:18, 29 October 2006 User:85.23.11.197

Vectorman Contest

Wasn't there a vectorman contest where those with the right cartridges who beat the game got a phone number and won some big money prize?66.63.101.247 06:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There was ONE special cartridge where upon beating the game you saw a special screen indetifying you as the winner of the $25,000 prize. It says so right on the front of the box.--205.250.222.77 20:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I came here looking for info on that. Once you beat the game, either it would tell you whether you'd won or call you a loser for cheating. http://www.gamezero.com/team-0/whats_new/past/vectorman-contest.html (UTC)

there was apparently a design contest for VM2: when you boot up VM2 it mentions some guy winning a design contest for a custom morph design. 151.196.130.5 19:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. So the winner of the contest, at least what's listed in the article, appears to be a convicted criminal now.. http://www.bustedmugshots.com/new-mexico/albuquerque/keola-thomas-kaula/465477 I suppose it could be another Keola Kaula in new mexico... but its likely the same person based on age. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kearney1981 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Vectorman1box.jpg

Image:Vectorman1box.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Vectorman film?

I was looking through an old issue of GamePro and noticed that they were planning on releasing a Vectorman film back in 1997. I looked online to try and find some more info, but all I found was this. I can mention it in the article, citing the magazine, if anyone wants me to. ~ Hibana 17:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't. There's not enough information there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NeonLegend (talk • contribs) 02:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:42, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Vectorman is, I think, clearly the title of the series (to the point where googling "vector man" asks if you meant "vectorman"), and it is unnecessary to add "series" to the article title because there's nothing to disambiguate it with.

Since this page is a result of copy-pasting Vectorman and Vectorman 2 here, I've cross-posted this at the Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Nifboy (talk) 00:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should be "Vectorman (series)". "Vectorman" should be only about the first game. TJ Spyke 03:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Except, thanks to the merge, there's no longer an article on the first game. And there's no sense having a series article alongside two game articles. Nifboy (talk) 04:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

"VectorMan"

According to this 20 Jun 2018 SEGA interview with Rich Karpp:

https://mobile.sega.com/post/sega-forever-rich-karpp-vectorman/

the title is supposed to be written 'VectorMan'. Can we move this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.99.106 (talk) 02:50, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no camel case on any of the different box arts for either game, and sources consistently write it as "Vectorman", so it looks like Karpp misremembered. Thanks for providing the source, though; that provides some useful info for the article.--Martin IIIa (talk) 01:10, 2 February 2022 (UTC) Sergecross73 msg me 22:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
