Infoboxes use the {{tl|Infobox VG}} template, and have a bunch of options. Most of the general information bits can be taken straight off wikipedia with minimal fuss, except for images: Wikipedia's are too small for us. Ideally all of these bits of information will be filled but it's not required. Wikipedia, GameTDB.com, and Nintendo.com's gameguide are our primary sources for information.

*<tt>|image =</tt> must have the thumbnail size tag based on software type. We use 300px size for GameCube, Wii and Virtual Console games, 350px size for Wii Channels screenshots and 160px size for WiiWare titles. If your image doesn't resize, only add some garbage in the end of tag such as the image name (i.e. <tt><nowiki>[[File:FlingSmash.jpg‎|300px|FlingSmash]]</nowiki></tt>). Cover preference order would be: US NTSC, UK PAL, Other PAL, JP, Other.
