Lead

"released on May 24, 2013 but received"..... add a comma after "2013" per MOS:DATE
remove the space after "pre" in "pre -installed"

Gameplay

"Mario-like" should link to Super Mario (series)

Development

"while studying programming at a local university"..... if known, I'd give the university's name
What did the creator find to be "too complicated" about games like Angry Birds?

Release

Unlink Angry Birds

Discontinuation

There too many short paragraphs here, I'd merge them to have two or three larger paragraphs instead of six incomplete ones
"Nguyen's Twitter account received abuse from fans unhappy with the decision"..... "abuse" doesn't seem like the best term, just say that fans criticized Nguyen's decision to discontinue the game
"Tuoi Tre News" is actually Tuổi Trẻ
It would help to name the Nintendo spokesperson
Give a time range for when Nguyen spoke with Forbes

Legacy

Sesame Street should be italicized as it is a TV show

Reception

Needs more reviews before "controversies and criticism" subsection; this game has received substantial coverage from many critics

Controversies and criticism

"canada.com" should link to Postmedia News

GA Result

I am failing this nomination as the references need work and—as stated during its GAR—the article needs expansion.

Thanks for the review, I'll address the references and will do an expansion soon. Once it's ready I'll renominate. ☠ Jaguar ☠ 21:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
