Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. As the article states, this game was cancelled before release. All coverage appears to either be routine promotional press or speculation in less-than-reliable blogs and forums. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:VGSE draws a blank. You do need to describe an adequate BEFORE analysis given that this was to have been published before widespread use of the Internet. Neo Geo Freak appears to have covered it (Japanese, not sure how advertisment-esque) in issues 22-25 (especially 22); Gamest in issue 199. (Scans online.) Is this what you found when you say "routine promotional press"? --Izno (talk) 23:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Even if not notable, this has an obvious redirect target at Success (company). --Izno (talk) 23:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, the Japanese and Spanish-language articles linked (which I was able to read, more thoroughly with the latter than the former), appear to all be promotional pre-release coverage. Given the circumstances of the game's cancellation, there's really no reason to expect more, higher-quality sources to exist. I don't think that the redirect is preferable to deletion, because the game is not listed at that page and due to it never having been released there's a solid argument against adding it to that list. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:36, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• It's extremely rare to have a woman project manager for a game (especially a 20 year old Japanese game) though, right? The game might be notable in a way not covered by the sources. Although when I look up 伊藤しのぶ all I can see is that she was a graphic artist for Cotton. --Prosperosity (talk) 12:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Success (company) as a viable alternative to deletion. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 19:38, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
