I have created this: <code><nowiki>[[{{{1|}}} (SSBM){{#if:{{{sub|}}}|/{{{sub|}}}}}|{{#if:{{{alt|}}}|{{{alt|}}}|{{{1|}}}}}]]</nowiki></code>, which is an improvement on the current template. It can both provide alternate text and it supports subpages. In otherwords <code><nowiki>{{SSBM|Debug menu|sub=Codes|alt=ARCode}}</nowiki></code> would be the same as <code><nowiki>[[Debug menu (SSBM)/Codes|ARCode]]</nowiki></code>.

:My first reaction is "this seems overly specific", since there's only like a dozen non-moveset subpages in the (SSBM) area, and it would be nice for this template to be as brief as possible due to its massive usage. My second reaction is that the template code of <code><nowiki>{{Game|Main|sub=Sub|alt=Alt}}</nowiki></code> is 15 wikicode characters, while the raw link of <code><nowiki>[[Main (Game)/Sub|Alt]]</nowiki></code> is 9. You could cut the template down to 11 with one-letter params, but there comes a point where readibility trumps shortness. So overall I can't say I see the benefit here.

A few improvements suggested.
I have created this: [[{{{1|}}} (SSBM){{#if:{{{sub|}}}|/{{{sub|}}}}}|{{#if:{{{alt|}}}|{{{alt|}}}|{{{1|}}}}}]], which is an improvement on the current template. It can both provide alternate text and it supports subpages. In otherwords {{SSBM|Debug menu|sub=Codes|alt=ARCode}} would be the same as [[Debug menu (SSBM)/Codes|ARCode]].
