- Can you cite the sources in this nom where the form left the boilerplate text for you to do so? Daniel Case (talk) 05:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: It's in the article. The cite is Uribo, Ukiuki (2012). "Soldier Blade – 2012 Developer Interview". Shmuplations. Archived from the original on 25 October 2018. Retrieved 7 December 2019..
- I'm willing to do a full review of this, but the hook is kind of vague. For example, what does the hook mean by "variety of the enemy sprites"? The article goes a bit into more detail but the hook itself gives no hint of said details. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:35, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5 and Namcokid47: I have an idea:
- ALT1: ... that the diversity and variety of enemy sprites of Soldier Blade was cut due to memory limitations?
- or
- ALT2: ... that several mechanics of the TurboGrafx-16 game Soldier Blade were mistakenly changed due to miscommunication between the designer and the staff?
- I'm not naming the designer (Uriko Uribo) because it's not important. ミラP 14:35, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Full review still needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:19, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Full review to follow, but I think ALT2 is the best option and the more quirky hook. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
The article was promoted to GA status two days before the nomination so it meets DYK requirements. No close paraphrasing was found, and other DYK article requirements are also met. ALT2, the only hook I'm approving, is cited inline and verified; I've made a slight change to specify that it's a game for the TurboGrafx-16. A QPQ has been done. This is good to go.
