GA on hold

This article looks good, but I have a few concerns, which are as follows.

- No exact date is available for the North American release?

Oh yes, being an NES gamer myself, I knew that problem all too well. I was only wondering because some games DID have a release date, and I wasn't 100% positive on if this one had an exact release date. Other games had depended on when your store got them stocked.

- "Whereas the arcade version was a two-player cooperative beat 'em up game like Double Dragon, the NES version featured platforming gameplay, different graphics and storylines, and featured cinematic cutscenes.[citation needed]" Most reviewers would automatically fail the article if even one citation needed tag is in there, but I feel that is too harsh. I feel that it's probably not going to be too difficult to find one reference in the span of seven days, as compared to 20. So basically, find a reference to fit in there. :)

- "Ninja Gaiden was released on Wii's Virtual Console on May 14, 2007 (2007-05-14) in North America and on September 21, 2007 (2007-09-21) in Europe. Europeans, Australians, and New Zealanders have been able to purchase Ninja Gaiden as part of 'Hanabi Festival', where people can buy games not released in Europe for a higher price, despite that Ninja Gaiden was released in Europe as Shadow Warriors. The European version does not have the typical PAL issues and runs at 60 Hz." All of these sentences need references.

  • I added a reference from IGN verifying the release dates and a reference from Joystiq for the Hanabi Festival. I removed the 60Hz PAL issue, as the only place I can find stuff on that are from online forums (i.e. not reliable sources). MuZemike 19:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

When my concerns are addressed, I will pass this article. I will give you seven days to meet these requirements. If you have any questions, or if you have finished addressing my concerns, send me a message on my talkpage. Good luck! CarpetCrawler (talk) 19:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
