  • a side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Capcom in 2006 for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld game console. - This sentence is too long. Break it down into: "a side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Capcom", and "It was released for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld game console in March 2006".
  • Powered Up was designed by series mainstay Keiji Inafune - He is listed under the producer field instead of the designer field in the info box
  • and announced for a US release later in the year - not really needed.
  • but a US release did not occur due to technical difficulties - not only US, but also other western regions like Europe etc.
    Can't find anything about European release. It's possible one wasn't planned from the get-go. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You need to mention the game's critical reception in the lead.
  • the latter two which were added for the remake). - "which" is not needed. I don't think a plot section needs this actually. It can be put in the development section or the gameplay section instead.
  • I removed it. Not fully sure it should be in the article. GamerPro64 03:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Plot section doesn't seem to be completed. I was expecting more details, or at least a proper ending. It is a "setting" section instead of a "plot" section as it stands now.
    I added an ending to the Plot section and a citation. GamerPro64 02:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • has similar gameplay and level designs to it. - "to it" is not needed
    Removed. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikilink 2D, 8-bit
    Done. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mega Man empties his life meter - I don't think this is an active action. Rephrased it to "Lives will be consumed if Mega Man touches certain spikes, or falls into a pit." or something similar
    Changed it to the suggestion you provided. GamerPro64 19:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first paragraph is unsourced
    For the "Gameplay" section? There's a source in there. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The paragraph should at least end with a citation though. AdrianGamer (talk) 12:40, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Added another citation to it. Kinda hard to kind stuff on those details. Not positive if the instruction booklet would help. GamerPro64 01:46, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • eight different stages, each represented by - should be "each representing"
    Done. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (in contrast with six in the original) - not needed
    Removed. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Their respective "powers" has limited ammunition?
    Changed from "powers" to "weapon". GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The IGN source only supports If Mega Man defeats the Robot Master using his primary weapon, the Robot Master will be captured and reprogrammed. This allows players to play through stages as one of the Robot Master but not other information presented in the second paragraph
    Added another source in the paragraph. GamerPro64 03:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was designed by Keiji Inafune. - Producer or designer?
    Producer. GamerPro64 04:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was announced for a US release on November 8, 2005 under the title Mega Man Powered Up. - What about Europe and other places?
    Found a Eurogamer source that had its release date in it. GamerPro64 19:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was featured at Capcom's annual Gamer's Day convention in Las Vegas in 2006 - Games tend to be shown off in most gaming convention. It should not be a special case unless something major happened there.
    Removed it and its source. GamerPro64 19:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is UMD?
    Universal Media Disc. GamerPro64 19:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was slated to be re-released on the PSP's PlayStation Network service along with other Capcom PSP titles including Maverick Hunter X - "released".
    Done. Though looking at the comment below this it might be made moot. GamerPro64 19:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was bundled with Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X on UMD.[13] It was slated to be re-released on the PSP's PlayStation Network service along with other Capcom PSP titles including Maverick Hunter X - It was bundled with and released along Maverick Hunter X. Two sentences are talking about the same thing.
    I removed "including Maverick Hunter X" from the second sentence. GamerPro64 03:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quotes should be paraphrased
    Any particular examples? GamerPro64 03:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The concept for these designs was 'toys'. We wanted cute designs geared towards little kids ... the kinds of characters that you'd see hanging off of keychains and such," and "Not only that, I made sure to tell the designers not to skimp on any of the original Mega Man details. We wanted their proportions and movements to be accurately reflected in these designs as well."
  • Paraphrased the first one and removed the second. GamerPro64 01:46, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not sure why we need that much information on the game's pre-release reception.
  • though it sold better in the US. - Do we have any sales information for Europe?
  • I can't see to find anything about sales in Europe. More than likely sales were bad there as well. GamerPro64 22:56, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • noted that those who don't like the art style would be able to get over it after playing - Did he mention why? Also, use "do not" per WP:CONTRACTION
    No he didn't mention why. And also changed "don't" to "do not". GamerPro64 01:46, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Detroit Free Press called it "a must-buy for fans of the long-running series, despite its super cute-ified new look." - Detroit Free Press should be in italic
  • placed "Powered Up" as the seventh best handheld game of 2006 - Should not use quotation marks. It should be in italic.
