OK, I started the review, and it seems that the article is most likely to pass, but, why is there no cover? --Khanassassin ☪ 19:45, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the game doesn't have an actual cover (which I find unlikely), you can use a screenshot. --Khanassassin ☪ 19:48, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I personally strongly disagree with passing the article. As it stands, this article encompasses the 3DS version of Cave Story; however, despite a ton of coverage surrounding the 3DS version at all stages of its life, the game is hardly acknowledged in the article. I don't think that the article is so big that it needs to be tucked away, either. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 07:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had a quick look at the article, I planned to give it a bigger look-at today, so, we'll see. --Khanassassin ☪ 12:16, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for both of your comments so far. I mainly wrote this article in the summer of 2010, before the 3DS version was announced. I will look into including some comments about the 3DS development/reception as well as finding a piece of cover art. Axem Titanium (talk) 13:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't much more 3DS dev info beyond "we redrew everything in 3D". I added a paragraph on 3DS reception and a screenshot of the title screen. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks much better now with the title screen. I copy-edited the article a bit, so it's pretty much ready, but I aggre with Retro Hippie, there should be atleast a couple of sentences on the 3DS version... --Khanassassin ☪ 19:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What else are you looking for in terms of the 3DS version? I've got a paragraph of reception so far. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The 3D version had quite a few interviews to speak of, so it seems odd to have only a sentence of development information. Honestly, I think it'd be best to go back and check around up and down for sources related to the other versions of the game. Granted, the game should focus on content related to all versions (such as the gameplay engine and the general quality of the game), but it feels unnaturally focused away from the later versions. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 01:12, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to glean something substantive from those soon. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:21, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just going to mention that this article overlinks to Pixel (game developer). Ciaran Sinclair (talk) 22:14, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Also, I added a paragraph of dev on the 3DS version. Axem Titanium (talk) 03:00, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, now it's really pretty much done, so, PASS. Congratulations! :) --Khanassassin ☪ 13:05, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
