User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of unrepresented universes/Excluded IPs

While I have tried to include as many IPs with Nintendo-published installments in this sandbox as possible, I didn't include all of them for various factors (also because I didn't want the main page to feel overly semantic), so here's a list of what does not qualify for this list. Consider these universes as "honorable mentions", if you will.

For simplicity's sake, I'm not even gonna bother with "compilation" games like Nintendo World Championships, Nintendo Campus Challenge, or Nintendo PowerFest.


 * First, and most obvious, there are licensed games. While GoldenEye 007 (and technically speaking, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic to an extent) have had representation in the series since the very first game, Sakurai has spoken a few times about not allowing non-video game properties in the Super Smash Bros. series in more recent years.
 * Celebrity games are an exception to this rule (as per the Dr. Kawashima clause), but it must be an original concept and/or not be directly based on one of their works.
 * Additionally, non-video game properties created and/or owned by Nintendo (such as Captain N and Nester) are another exception as long as they have a game for themselves.


 * Second, there are games that are only published by Nintendo in certain regions. As Nintendo is a Japanese-based company, any game published by them in Japan, no matter if they were originally published by a third-party in the West, is fair game. Everything else is excluded. This rule also stems from something I'm calling the "Shovel Ray" clause, where series like Rayman and Shovel Knight had certain installments published by Nintendo only in Japan, but are listed as "Nintendo series" in the Spirits Collection seemingly because of this.
 * If there's a case where a third-party game is technically published by Nintendo first in Western territories and later in Japan by a third-party publisher (if it released there), it all comes down to whether the game is an original game and not a port of sorts. If it's an original game, it's allowed on the main list. If not, it goes here. However, if the port in question is developed by a Nintendo division (such as the Game Boy Color version of Crystalis), then it can go onto the main list.
 * For simplicity's sake, I will not list any game that was released in both North America and PAL regions, but only published by Nintendo in the latter, as instances of those are even harder to find evidence of.
 * Also, keep in mind that the release years for these types of universes will use the game's earliest release under publishing by Nintendo rather than its initial release.


 * Finally, there are applications. Due to their statuses as "non-games", I feel like adding all of them would be overwhelming. Not only that, but a lot of them would just be categorized under the "Nintendo hardware" section on the List of minor Nintendo universes page if they were to be moved there, anyway.
 * The only exceptions to this rule are the DSiWare applications. For clarity's sake, this page on Nintendo of Japan's website lists off all the WiiWare games that were published by Nintendo, but excludes many of the applications that were available. However, the main DSiWare page does not do this, meaning it's hard to exactly tell which DSiWare applications would fall under "Nintendo hardware".
