Looks like a large amount of work goes into this, it's very much appreciated. No more poking at outdated and skewed HG101 info and stuff like that.

This makes me so happy! People have been asking for this for over a decade. I'll definitely try to contribute some stuff when I have time.

it's been very exciting being able to announce this formally today! it's a great labor of love by the community and i'm honored by all of the positive reception.

we also talked about the wiki (and the hall of records being led by Plasmo) in Mark's latest podcast episode!

it's thanks to all the guides started here that the wiki was even able to have a basis in existing, so i'm really thankful to everyone here who's contributed their knowledge over the last decade here! :mrgreen:

I hope I can contribute a few pages or at least some information here and there*. A lot of people have done some good work getting this off the ground. My hope is that more up-to-date knowledge about games and their scoring systems can be tinkered here, rather than relying on sometimes-questionable strategy guide topics that haven't been updated in over a decade. It's a great opportunity.

*in fact I have, trying to get Giga Wing 2 and Cotton 2 pages off the ground, for now, as ec2151. :mrgreen:
