Talk:Meteos (Nintendo DS)

Icons?
With these various early games having alternate icons... do you think it was possible they planned to have the game randomly load an icon from a set? My other thought was animated icons (like DSiWare, Wii), but that wouldn't make much sense with icons like these. Is there any way we could look into this somehow? --Peardian 23:40, 30 September 2012 (EDT)
 * I'm wondering if there is a secret way to access the alternate icons. I find it odd that developers would still be adding graphics for an unused feature several years after the DS was released... --BMF54123 01:37, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
 * The question is, where to start? Do we look at the games or the system? What determines the game's icon? Does the system pick from a specific standard filename or does the game provide the icon to the system? --Peardian 18:16, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
 * I don't know why but gut feeling is telling me that this is connected to multiplayer somehow? I know that multiplayer more often than not is run by a rom within the rom itself, but going by the unused feature theory it might make sense...Tanks 18:49, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
 * Hmmm... that makes a lot of sense. Sonic Rush's multiplayer was Sonic vs. Blaze, and the icons are Sonic and Blaze. Meteos has a download play multiplayer mode where only the four basic planets are available (represented by those four icons). If I'm not mistaken, Sonic Rush Adventure had both time trials and a normal race, and both of the unused icons seem to match that. Did Download Play have special icons...? --Peardian 22:26, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
 * The icons in this game are actually used for Download Play, I just tried it. I'd guess the same goes for the two Sonic games. Taizou 17:23, 6 March 2013 (EST)
 * I don't have this game, but I added the delete template anyway, because I trust your word. The Sonic Rush Adventure article is gone and the files for both this game and Sonic Rush Adventure await deletion. I don't have Sonic Rush, though, so you're on your own with that one. --AquaBat 18:00, 6 March 2013 (EST)
