Sorry I'm a little late; working on the review now. The Night Watch (talk) 20:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

No copyvios, and the article has a reference section, appears stable from the page history.

Notes

I'm surprised there is so little Development information, but I was unable to find much of anything regarding development beyond what you already had cited. The topic appears relatively niche, but searching around shows that it is probably comprehensive given the limited subject material available in reliable sources.

This is pretty typical of most Game Gear games of the era, and likely most handheld video games beyond the exceptional ones. Coverage in magazines tended to favor console games and gave a brief acknowledgement that the handhelds existed. Red Phoenix ^talk 11:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Images are tagged with passable FUR.

Spotchecks forthcoming

Spot-checked sources 1, 5, 12, 15, 19: Appears verifiable and factually correct. Only nitpick on sourcing is that some of them (I.e. Hardcore Gaming 101, Beep! MegaDrive) don't have wikilinks even though those sources have parent articles. Sources also appear reliable per the WPVG source list.

Article is quite small, so not out-of-scope.

Prose is decent, no WTW that I can see. The article is quite short so there isn't much to change that wouldn't be nitpick-y. Scanning over the reviews shows that their opinions are shown appropriately in reception.

After you respond to the Wikilinks in the sources, I think I can give the article a ✓ Pass. The Night Watch (talk) 20:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
