General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: So, all the criterion are met, and the article is well-sourced and I couldn't find any factual issues. Passed, with a preference for the original alt. Also, maybe use future tense for ALT1 and ALT2 considering the game isn't out yet and is subject to changes. Juxlos (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

• ALT0a ... that the announcement of delay in the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons caused Nintendo's stock market valuation to fall by over US$1 billion?
