    Pass/Fail:

Lead[edit]

  • "fighting against the mad scientist Dr. Wily" - don't need to have two wikilinks together in succession
  • "While the game was praised for its graphics and sound being similar to the NES games" - repetition of "game(s)"

Gameplay[edit]

  • Wikilink Mega Man the character on the first instance
  • Shouldn't Nintendo Entertainment System be written in just the acroynms?
  • Wikilink continues and lives to the relevant articles for those who do not know what they mean
  • Briefly explain who Dr. Cossack is to the uninformed

Reception[edit]

  • Both uses of the % symbol in the prose should be written as per cent per MOS:PERCENT
  • Consider adding the names of the GamePro and Mean Machines reviewers in the prose as they have in the sources
    • The GamePro name is a pseudonym so not sure what to say about that besides what I added. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did Mean Machines give any review other than reward a 75% rating?
    • Added some more in that part. GamerPro64 17:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "with complete copies going for $400." - the RetroGamer source says it is $200 not $400
    • Not sure how that happened. Fixed. GamerPro64 03:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Because of the game's North American exclusivity, copies of the game garner a high price point," - repetition of the word "game"

References[edit]

  • Reference 2's dates are written in the hexadecimal format rather than the month, day, and year format
  • Same issue for all the dates in Reference 6

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
