Key video games (3rd supplementary nomination)
[edit]This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Key video games for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:
Video games developed by Key, a Japanese visual novel video game development studio and brand under the publisher VisualArt's, are initially published by VisualArt's and released for Microsoft Windows personal computers; consumer ports are published by Interchannel and Prototype. Key released their debut title, Kanon, in 1999, followed by their second title, Air, in 2000. Both Kanon and Air were initially released as adult games, but Key released their third game, Clannad, in 2004 with a rating of approval for all ages. Eight more games have been released since then. Key released a box set called "Key 10th Memorial Box" in July 2009 containing six of Key's visual novels with a rating for all ages.
I am nominating Key's latest title, Angel Beats! (visual novel), to satisfy criterion 3(c) regarding adding articles to the topic that are currently ineligible to be at least a GA. I had nominated the article for GA after the first volume was released, but the review failed on the basis that because it is an episodic game, the article will be ineligible for GA status until all six volumes are out. However, that is likely to take several years, as only a tentative release schedule of six months between each volume has been given so far, and that will probably change as time goes on. The GA review I linked acts as an individual quality audit stipulated by criterion 3(c), and the article has now been updated to include the recommended improvements.--十八 23:26, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- To be fair, if six months between instalments is the expected release pattern, I don't see any problem with the article satisfying GA criteria on those grounds. It clearly won't be outdated that quickly—we have featured content more prone to flux than that, after all—and seems of high enough quality to pass the bar on all other criteria.

- GA reviewer here- I'd be tentatively willing to pass it as a "just the first episode" article if all the episodes aren't going to be close together; there just wasn't any information in the article regarding how spaced out the episodes are (probably because there hasn't been any announcements around that). If it really is going to be 6-12 months between episodes, I can revisit the GAN. --PresN 01:41, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Support - Well, since there's been no response, supporting as it meets criteria. --PresN 01:46, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support – straightforward nomination with no issues that I can see. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
