Announcements

• The Newsletter wishes to extend its congratulations to the Portuguese and Norwegian Video Game WikiProjects (Projetos/Jogos eletrônicos and Underprosjekter/Videospill) on their 10th anniversaries which took place on January 21 and February 17. In total 10 different interlanguage WP:VGs have now reached this milestone!
• Say hello to WP:VG's shiny new logo (at right)! Readers may have noticed that WP:VG is flying new colours recently but have no fear: the change is purely aesthetic. The WikiProject sails on with the same mission and with the same stalwart crew. Farewell old Gravis PC GamePad. You've served us well these many years!
• The project reached 200 Featured Articles and 1000 Good Articles this quarter. Congratulations to all who have helped over the years to help us reach two major milestones.
