[edit] Initial D

  • Guys, this isn't an article about Initial D. Stop referring to it. SlickDizzy 03:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Posting

I've posted whatever images I could grab from Image from: http://www.namco.co.jp/aa/am/vg/wanganmaxi2/world/ . If someone can sort out the other images on the website and place them with the respective racers and shops, it would be much appreciated. --Cantthinkofausername 09:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm debating removing many of the images. It's a large bandwidth strain and interferes with the page's formatting quite a bit. It would probably be wise just to leave them for the major characters, and remove the ones for minor characters. SlickDizzy 02:48, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I just added the images to whomever is on the page already (and I also debated if I should add the images to some of the tuning shops, (i.e. I didn't add Kitami's image to his shop profile and left it in his main entry in the character profile), and disregarded anyone else not on the page. As is, I think maybe some of the images should be excised from the tuning shops area if the image is in the racing profile area to save bandwidth. To me, I think it looks better with the profiles of the racers.
For starters, I think the last three tuning shops (Kitami Cycle, Works-R, and Speedshop MACH) should not have images, since other parts of the article has them already. For ACE, removal of Tomoya's image and keep Goto's image. And maybe transfer of Tominaga's image to his racer profile than his tuning shop profile. Lemme know what you think. Oh, and thats for the clarification of the characters, much appreciated.--Cantthinkofausername 04:48, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Tominaga doesn't race in the manga; as far as I'm concerned, his only profile should be his tuning shop one. I've been trying to keep the whole article edited to conform with the manga, and not the game, as there's a seperate article for that...but every time I make any progress, it all gets undone. I still support the idea of only showing images for the pillar characters (Akio, Tatsuya, Reina, Kitami). The rest are minor. SlickDizzy 06:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I think you gotta face facts: people know Wangan Midnight more thru the Arcade game than the Manga (heaven forbid some american publisher brings the property in (TOKYOPOP?!?! VIZ?!?!? HELLO, BRING IT TO THE USA ALREADY!!) unlike Initial D, where the manga and anime gained noteriety thru tuner culture and then the Arcade Game took off with the infamous DC2 God car in Ver. 2. If you keep to the allusion that if you conform the article to the manga, people will still come in and edit it with info from the game. You have to make a suitable compromise, or wrestle with editing the article constantly.--Cantthinkofausername 09:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size

The stuff about the video games is much too long imo. This article is about the book, or whatever. mmm no I only skimmed the first few paras —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.66.9.162 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Video Versions

According the posting in Wikipedia, there have been 3 movies based on Wangan Midnight? Does anybody know the titles to these movies, because I never had the chance to see them. Repeated searches also came up empty. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.6.113.38 (talk) 03:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
