The game itself is full of cultural references and is a good game, and the article is informative. 68.9.69.63 19:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. It's on its way, but it doesn't have enough references. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Note This nomination was incorrectly placed directly onto Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. I went through the whole nomination procedure for this user. That is why my user name appears on all nomination procedure related pages. - Tutmosis 19:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, peer review first, fails many of the points determined in the criteria. Most important, lack of references, trivia section extremely long, some refences are just external links embedded into the article, virtually all the images lack a fair use rationale, inappropriate person ("you"), etc. I suggest sending the article to peer review first. -- ReyBrujo 19:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. I actually want to work on it. It will be my next article, I promise. Sir Crazyswordsman 20:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment. After looking at the article, here's what needs to be done:
- Prosify the lists.
- References are needed. Mass numbers of them. Old issues of Nintendo Power, GamePro, and websites such as Gamespot, Gamerankings, IGN, and in this case, Starmen.net should help. Also, the story section needs references. I have a copy of the Player's Guide as well, and I should be able to get that for you in several months.
- The Playable Characters section needs massive prosification. A story section should be added.
- A development section should be added, including the localization and censorship parts of it.
- These are very basic things that need to be done. I'll see what I can do when my schedule allows for it. This is my third favorite game of all time and seeing it featured would make my day. But it's just not ready yet. Sir Crazyswordsman 21:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, WP:SNOW? jaco♫plane 03:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
