Predecessor
I noticed that the predecessor is referred to as a "prequel" in this template. This is actually incorrect terminology, as a "prequel" (portmanteau of pre and sequel) is normally something that is released after the work, but set before it in its timeline (i.e. if a game set before the original Pikmin is released, that's a prequel to Pikmin, but Pikmin is not a prequel to Pikmin 2). "Predecessor" (as used in the template documentation) would be a more accurate term; I am thinking this should be changed in the template, but wanted to bring it up on the talk page first.--Vellidragon (talk) 11:40, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Supported languages
I propose to add this to the Infobox, since other NIWA wikis (like the "Super Mario Wiki" or "Wikirby") have this, and it's useful for users who quickly want to know which languages the game support (instead of scrolling to the "History" or "Other information" section.
