"Sonic Drift Racers" Headline

Did we really need the headline "Sonic Drift Racers" in the article? It was definitely unimportant to the article. The only ones we wanted in this article, were the prequel and the sequel to each one. Add more information here why we didn't need the headline, "Sonic Drift Racers". --Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com

Release Date

Does anyone know when this game was released? Thanks --Power Slave 02:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I added something in trivia.

I added something in the trivia section. Hope you like it. Philip1992 19:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Philip1992

The trivia section mentioned "invincibility themes" without explanation, but I think a short clause saying what they are would greatly aid comprehension for the "uninitiated." JY.public 15:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't Sonic Drift 2 have its own article?

I mean, if Sonic Eraser can get one, Sonic Drift 2 certainly should. RememberMe? 03:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Inconsistency

It says Sonic Drift 2 was released in 1994, then says it was released in Japan in 1995. Does this mean it was released elsewhere first? 24.4.131.142 18:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Tempted to move

I'm going to have a word with some members of the Video Games WikiProject so that I can get Sonic Drift 2 its own article.--Launchballer (talk) 18:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

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)

@The Night Watch: Addressed. Red Phoenix ^talk 00:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, passing.
