To clarify it: This is a comic series published in the German [[Club Nintendo]] magazine in 1999 and 2000. There teenage Nintendo fans are the main characters, who often meet with characters from the Nintendo universe. In that case, it's loosely comparable to ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', where the main role was given to a teenage Nintendo fan as well (a difference is that ''Captain N'' mainly takes place in the videogame world, ''N-Gang'' mostly takes place in the real world). We have an article about ''Captain N'' because Donkey Kong has a prominent role there, and in ''N-Gang'', various characters from Marioverse appear, too, even having a main role in some comics. But not in all comics, like Donkey Kong is not important for all episodes of ''Captain N''. So I think we should handle it like ''Captain N'' and make a '''single''' article about the ''N-Gang'', including an overview about the general plot and major characters, and plot synopses for the comics where Marioverse characters play a role. Opinions? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 04:48, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

:I absolutely agree, we don't need articles about the single stories (or even elements of the stories). I'm not even sure if we need an N-Gang article, but I think it would be okay. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 07:44, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

== Die Hexe lacht um Mitternacht ==
Hey, all!  I haven't checked this out for myself (no access to the comics!) but reading the synopsis it looks like, "Die Hexe lacht um Mitternacht," doesn't feature any of our central focus characters, only characters who crossed-over: Banjo and Kazooie.  Should we remove it? {{User:Stumpers/sig}}
:Only Banjo and Gruntilda play major roles in the comic, however in the last panel, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Donkey Kong can be seen (amongst Kirby, Kazooie, Samus Aran and Link), though not contributing to the story in any way. Since these appear at the end, and since Banjo plays a major role - who has an article on the MarioWiki anyway - I thought we could keep this comic, but I'd also agree with removing it. By the way, you can check out the comic [http://e-lation.emubase.de/comics/club_nintendo/2000_06.pdf here]. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 11:58, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

== Football or Soccer ==
I know this is really minor, but still: The article uses both the terms football and soccer to refer to association football. In discussions on the ''Mario Strikers'' series, most people said to use soccer, since football can refer to "two sports." However, this a comic series from Europe, more specifically Germany, where the term football or literal equivalents of this word are mostly preferred. What do you think? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 17:17, 10 January 2009 (EST)
:I say football, as this comic has only appeared in Germany. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}
==English Translations==
I just thinking if its possible to get English translations of the German comic names as some people (like me) might be curious of what they mean? '''[[User:McAusten]]!''' '''·''' [[User talk:McAusten|talk to me]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/McAusten|my edits]] 19:02, 13 December 2011 (EST)
I second that request. I'd love to have the comics both a translated and an untranslated version. Does anyone have the raw files by chance?--[[User:Legato32x|Legato32x]] 18:32, 23 June 2012 (EDT)
