@ Sergecross73: Are there specific notability guidelines for video games? Wicka wicka ( talk) 14:02, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply

WP:VG/GL has plenty of notes on how to write articles, but notability-wise, it mostly just operates on the general notability guidelines, which isn't met with a one sentence, one barely reliable source article. Sergecross73 msg me 14:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Sergecross73: Can you also tell me if the article still requires more citations, or can the box at the top be removed? Thanks! Wicka wicka ( talk) 16:03, 1 October 2017 (UTC) reply
Yup, its good now. Sergecross73 msg me 17:26, 1 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Is the incomplete template still necessary?

It's been a couple months now and it seems that the article has been cleaned up. Also seems to be more start-class. Epicandrew1220 ( talk) 17:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi, Lee. Let's get this show on the road. ImaginesTigers ( talk) 13:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC) reply

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This should be fairly straightforward. A few minor concerns. ImaginesTigers ( talk) 13:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC) reply

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    A few suggestions (see Prose). I've implemented all but one of them. Structurally, the article is in good shape. ImaginesTigers ( talk)
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
    Copyvio is down, but will revisit later.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:


Prose

  • From the lead: Originally designed as a Wii U game, it was later released for the Switch due to a lengthy development time and gained assistance from Nintendo to create the game. The subject of this sentence isn't clear. "It was later released for the Switch [...] and gained assistance from Nintendo". Minor re-jiggling needed.
  • Also from the lead: critics praising the games' tone, should be game's.
  • A sequel is currently in development for the Switch, named Sports Story with [...] -> A sequel, Sports Story, is currently in development.
  • [...] originally in development as a Wii U title by Sidebar Games' -> Sidebar Games ImaginesTigers ( talk) 13:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC) reply
