User:The Jacketed Terrapin/Chronicle/Updated Chronicle

Disclaimer: Most of the lists you will see on this page are based on information found on unofficial lists online (more specifically, Wikipedia of Japan). It is possible some of these lists may not be 100% accurate, so please take them with a grain of salt.

While the Chronicle in Brawl was an admittedly neat concept (a list of every game Nintendo has published), it does have some noticeable flaws in it. So this page is to take the existing one and try to make it as accurate as possible, as well as update it to reflect the list of Nintendo-published games released after Brawl in addition to titles released by the third-party companies that are represented with a playable fighter.

Here are some notes before you read the lists:
 * A game that was not listed in the original Chronicle in Brawl will be noted via a rollover note. If the date has a rollover note, this indicates that the game is given a different date than what the original Chronicle lists. These both only apply to the Nintendo folder for each list and games released prior to 2008.
 * This page will include icons of each of the Smash Bros. installments . An icon will be used to denote the game(s) a list would hypothetically appear in.
 * In regards to what icons third-party companies get, they will only get the icons of the games in which they have playable representation in, and only within the base game (for example, neither Konami nor Square Enix can have the Smash 4 icon. For the former, no fighter in that game was owned by Konami; For the latter, Cloud was not playable in the base game for that same game.).
 * When it comes to merged companies (such as Bandai Namco or Square Enix), if their first representation was originally owned by one former half of the company, only that former company will be given an icon (For example, Square gets the Ultimate icon as Cloud was in the base game for that game, but Enix does not as Hero was not in the base game for that same game).
 * Onto the icons themselves:
 * A SSB64_Icon.png icon denotes that a list would appear in Smash 64.
 * A SSBM_Icon.png icon denotes that a list would appear in Melee.
 * A SSBB_Icon.png icon denotes that a list would appear in Brawl.
 * A SSB4_Icon.png icon denotes that a list would appear in Smash 4.
 * A SSBU_Icon.png icon denotes that a list would appear in Ultimate.
 * Relating to the icons, some lists will have a header called "Listed in:". These denote how a list would've looked in specific installments. Each game is given a deadline of the month before they were released (For more information, read the last note). For example, all Nintendo-published Nintendo 64 games released before Smash 64's deadline will have the icons for all games, but the ones released after it will exclude the Smash 64 icon.
 * A "Listed in:" header only applies if a list is given more than one icon and if more games were released after a Smash game's deadline. For example, the NES lists cannot have the header as the console's final titles were released before Smash 64.
 * Companies will only be given "Listed in:" headers relevant to the game their fighter(s) appear(s) in. For example, no Konami fighter appears in Smash 64 nor Melee, therefore Konami's pre-Nintendo DS lists first appear in Brawl instead and are thus the same in every installment they appear in. For another example, no Konami fighter appears in Smash 4 either, therefore Konami's Nintendo 3DS list, as well as their expanded Nintendo DS and Wii lists, do not appear in Smash 4 and instead first appear in Ultimate.
 * If a "Listed in:" header does not appear on a list, that means the list is the exact same in every installment it appears in.


 * As mentioned above, this page will only go up to the month before the release of the latest Smash Bros. game. This is because I don't see the Chronicle being a thing that would be constantly updated with every game update. As for why I went with the month prior to a Smash game's release rather than generally before its exact release date, this stems from a quirk in the original Chronicle; the only Nintendo-published game released in 2008 in Japan to predate Brawl was the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (both of which came out on January 2008), yet was not listed in the original Chronicle (keep in mind the Wii version was listed), due to the deadline being "December 2007".
 * Here are the deadlines for each game:
 * The deadline for Smash 64 is December 1998.
 * The deadline for Melee is October 2001.
 * The deadline for Brawl is December 2007.
 * The deadline for Smash 4 is November 2014. Additionally, it will be based only on the releases of the Wii U version as I don't see the 3DS version having a Chronicle feature of any sorts.
 * The deadline for Ultimate is November 2018.

Disk System Famicom Disk System logo.svg
This list now adds the games that were only released via the Disk Writer service. In addition, the release date for Pro Wrestling is changed to match the date listed on the game's web page for the Famicom 40th Anniversary site.

Game Boy Game Boy logo.svg
A https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/kyoutu.gif icon denotes a Game Boy Color game that is compatible with the original Game Boy. A https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/senyou.gif icon denotes a Game Boy Color game that is incompatible with the original Game Boy. If neither image is listed, the game was released on a standard Game Boy cartridge. Image source: The official Japanese Game Boy page To stay consistent with the inclusion of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, this list now adds Balloon Fight GB (otherwise known as Balloon Kid in the West), a game whose Japanese release was exclusive to the Nintendo Power service. Note: No Game Boy Color games were published by Square. As a result, there will be no "Type" category here.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System SNES logo (text).svg
This list now adds the games that were only released via the Nintendo Power service. In addition, some games were reordered to match their original Nintendo Power releases.

Virtual Boy Virtual Boy logo.svg
This list has no significant changes.

Nintendo 64 Nintendo 64 logo.svg
This list now adds the games that were listed on the Japanese Nintendo 64 website, but were not listed in the original Chronicle. The list also includes Shiren the Wanderer 2, which was published by Nintendo, but was not listed on either the original Chronicle nor the Japanese Nintendo 64 website.

64DD 64DD logo.svg
A list that was not present in the original Chronicle list in Brawl. As a result, no game on here will be given a rollover note as that would be redundant.

Game Boy Advance Game Boy Advance logo.svg
This list now adds Oriental Blue: Ao no Tengai, which was listed on the list of pre-2005 Nintendo-published games on the Japanese Game Boy Advance website, as well as the third-party titles in the Famicom Mini series (known as Classic NES Series in North America and NES Classics in Europe), none of which were listed in the original Chronicle.

Nintendo GameCube GameCube logo.svg
This list now adds Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Baten Kaitos Origins, which were both listed on the list of Nintendo-published games on the Japanese Nintendo GameCube website (Final Fantasy can be found here, while Baten Kaitos is found here), but were not listed in the original Chronicle.

Nintendo DS DSTitle.svg
This list is now expanded to include games released after 2007. Outside of that, this list has the placements of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl swapped, seeing how Diamond is the "left-side" version of the two games (i.e. the version that is almost always announced first when listing both versions).

Wii Wii logo.svg
This list is now expanded to include games released after 2007.

Nintendo 3DS 3DS Logo.svg
All lists from here on out are that of Nintendo consoles that released after Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Therefore, there will be no notes about any changes.

Honorable mentions
This is a dumping ground for games that technically aren't Nintendo-published, but are installments of Nintendo franchises (as well as a few third-party series with at least one Nintendo-published installment), in addition to installments of some fully third-party universes that aren't in the above lists (due to being published by a publisher that does not have their own folder).

This will not include games based on non-gaming properties (with two exceptions: Doki Doki Panic due to its strong ties with the Mario series, and Hello Kitty World for being the only release of Balloon Kid in Japan for nearly a decade) or games that are already listed in any of the folders on this page or the other Chronicle pages. Additionally, in order for a game to qualify under the "Third-Parties" folder, it must abide to these 3 rules:
 * A. It is an installment of a universe represented in the Smash series.
 * B. Said universe is represented in the base game of at least one Smash game.
 * C. Said universe is owned by any one of the companies that have folders on this page. This does not account for universes that are or were exclusively published by their previous IP owners (such as the Bomberman series, which was mostly published by Hudson Soft, even after its acquisition by Konami, until the company's closure in 2012, where publishing duties were transferred to Konami).

Any universe that does not fit the above criteria goes here. If the universe does not quality for that page either, it goes here instead.

As an extra bonus, a few games that do not appear in one region's Chronicle but appear in another's will have their own listing based on the region(s) they were not featured in.
