This one has been sitting in the nominations list for a while, so I'll take a look at it. It's rather long so it might take me a little bit, but I'll promise to have it done in like the next day or two (maybe earlier).

After looking at the article, I don't feel like it's up to snuff to pass as a GA at the moment. The writing seems good, as do the pictures, but the references need a lot of work before it can pass.
Once all of these are fixed, ping me and I'll take another look. Namcokid47 ( talk) 23:55, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
They seem like a pretty significant graphical jump to me TheBrodsterBoy ( talk) 07:12, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
This confused me the first time reading this article. By this logic the second generation overlaps the third. Generation is defined as when a console is released. Not by it’s shelf life UltimateGamer9000 ( talk) 18:42, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
The end of the third generation was marked by the emergence of 16-bit systems of the fourth generation and with the discontinuation of the Famicom on September 25, 2003.It says the end was marked by the emergence of 16-bit systems and with the discontinuation of the Famicom in 2003. All of our generation articles follow this same format, and the second generation is not an exception. -- ferret ( talk) 21:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
For the Colecovision, Atari 5200, SG-1000. and Vectrex?
The general consensus among hardcore retro gaming historians seems to be these are distinct from the second/third generation, but were cut short due to the crash and kinda missed with the generations system was popularized in the late 2000s. Fully 'fixing' the mistake and re-numbering things would be a massive nightmare which is why it's never been done, so couldn't we just make a half number or at least a 'Lost Generation' page to talk about them and their differences in detail? 2604:3D09:1F80:CA00:887C:3028:54D8:1509 ( talk) 04:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

This line goes: "Some developers collapsed and almost no new games were released in 1984" Yet, you go to this page on here: /info/en/?search=Category:1984_video_games and you see over 300! So, "almost no" definitely makes no sense. 2600:1702:3520:2210:AC9D:1CCC:63A6:842C ( talk) 13:26, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
