Unable to find sufficient sources to establish WP:NGAME. Most references do not meet WP:RS. Article was originally moved to draftspace and rejected twice at AfC for the same reasons. —{CrypticCanadian} 23:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The game has received significant coverage [1] [2] and Metacritic states Nintendo Power and Nintendo Gamer have also covered the game, although I have not have access to the original articles. According to WP:VG/S these are all reliable sources. Z1720 (talk) 02:03, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There is coverage in 3 separate magazines on the Metacritic page, and Nintendo World Report. I agree that it probably should not have been created without actually mentioning those, but it is nevertheless clearly notable. Therefore per WP:SURMOUNTABLE it should stay._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:55, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Pass WP:GNG. OceanHok (talk) 04:39, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:SIGCOV. The sources listed here and in the article consist of press releases, passing mentions, and closely connected sources. I would expect to see at least three WP:INDEPENDENT sources that discuss the subject objectively, and in considerable detail. - MrX 🖋 12:29, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, just looking at the Metacritic page, the reviews in Nintendo World Report and PALGN are both clearly significant coverage, meaning that this passes WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:30, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per Z1720, I think article passes WP:GNG. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 04:51, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - although Z1720's Gameindustry.biz source is merely a press release, this game's Metacritic entry lists reviews by PALGN, Nintendo World Report, GamesTM, Nintendo Gamer, and Nintendo Power - all reliable sources for game articles according to WP:VG/RS, and absolutely enough to pass GNG.--Alexandra^IDV 11:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
