Instead of delisting myself, I am putting this up for reassessment to see if it can be salvaged as a GA and since there has been a couple of recent edits to the article. Here are the reasons I think this should be delisted:

• Many of the sources used to verify the information is not reliable, such as arcade-history.com (no editorial oversight, anyone can literally edit it, kind of like Wikipedia), thehouseofgames.net (same reason as arcade-history.com), Nintendo Land (fansite), GameFAQs (no editorial oversight, any user can post a review), toptenreviews.com (nothing I can find there), theRaider.net (likely not, but more importantly, nonexistant - I get a 404), and Gamespot (while this is considered reliable in general, reader/user reviews, like with GameFAQs are not considered reliable; it needs official reviews by actual qualified editors)
• The last third of the Plot and Gameplay section describes over-detailed gameplay instructions (see Wikipedia is not a game guide).
• Prose needs improvement. There are lots of weasel words and peacock terms floating around in the article.

Probably nothing that can be done given the new standards. Might as well make it pour and nominate Major League Baseball (video game) as well. Cheers, CP 21:20, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
