I'll get to this eventually. Cognissonance (talk) 10:32, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

History

• "then still codenamed the "Dolphin"" Could you add the source that follows (GameSpot) next to this? IGN doesn't mention it.
  • Done
• "Nintendo remained cautious and tight-lipped" Isn't "tight-lipped" just another way of saying "cautious"?
  • Not really. Cautious means that internally at Nintendo, they were tentative and leery on how to approach online gaming. Tight-lipped means they were not talking publicly about it. They could have been cautious and outspoken, or determined and tight-lipped, but not the case here. If you have a better word to sum it up by all means, but I couldn't find one.

Hardware

• Add links to Ethernet and Dial-up Internet access.
  • Done
• "but the Broadband Adapter is required for LAN-only games and Homeland" The source has no mention of "Homeland".
  • Added source

Supported games

• This whole section needs more past tense language.
  • I think I fixed it. I battled with this myself because the games can STILL be played online. The official support was the only thing discontinued.
• "while also fixing bugs and exploits" The source does not mention this.
  • Removed
• Refs. 34, 35, 36 (Spike-Chunsoft) are not displaying the same things as the archived versions. I'd suggest switching to deadurl=yes. Also, none of them have the language= parameter.
  • Done
• Ref. 37 (Konami) also doesn't have a language= parameter.
  • Done

Overall

Very impressive and clean. Cognissonance (talk) 11:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
