March 2009 article request edit
I have moved this discussion from the video game requests page, containing some sources and a discussion. Samwalton9 (talk) 19:18, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Wild Snake - Super Nintendo Game by the creator of Tetris.
- Also apparently on Game Boy, Reviewed by Nintendo Power according to GameSpot.
- This one is almost certain to be notable (WP definition), but the sources will be locked away in old magazines. The question is whether the request is left indefinitely, moved up the queue or removed because it's not something we're currently equipped to deal with. Someoneanother 00:57, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Those old magazines are as follows: Nintendo Power #66, Electronig Gaming Monthly #63, Next Generation Magazine #2, and supposedly both versions were reviewed by GamePro at some point. I read the Nintendo Power "review", but in typical NP style it was actually an advertisement. ButOnMethItIs (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have the review from Super Play. If you're interested, email me. - hahnchen 15:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

- Maybe I'm missing something here, but Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov, Wild Snake was created by Alexey Lysogorov? It looks like we have one source and that may be wrong, so this might just have to be a redirect. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 20:41, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, so the cover clearly says Alexey Pajitnov, which contradicts the only "reliable source" I've seen, so I'm making this a redirect to his page and adding the name into his list of works. If someone else feels there's enough to make an article, have at it, but I don't think we should wait another 4 years for it. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 20:46, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Pajitnov did not design Wild Snake. He's only the front man. It's like films where it says "Quentin Tarantino presents" when he really has little to do with it — http://www.quora.com/What-was-Quentin-Tarantinos-involvement-in-the-film-Hero-2002 - hahnchen 14:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
