Created by Totalibe (talk). Self-nominated at 16:39, 30 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Uncle Who Works for Nintendo; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. My first thought is that the plot section at 783 words is overly long (our limit is generally 700 words, WP:VG/CONTENT), particularly in its size relative to the rest of the article, and could be trimmed back. Hook fact does check out. @Totalibe: This is almost ready to go, but I'd suggest trimming the plot first. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:11, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I had to reduce it somewhat when writing it as it felt overly long, although I was a little unsure of how best to do that, I'll try trimming it some more. Totalibe (talk) 21:39, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Just checked again—plot summary weighs in at 695 words, so this is ready to go. Still a little on the high side, but I'll take it. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
