Gonna review this, hopefully I'm going to wrap it up quickly, as it is a very short article.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 16:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

As of yet, I have found only a few small issues that may need some work.{{GAList/check|}}

• No need to thourougly explain how pinball works. It is linked earlier in the section and is mostly self-explanatory. Also, it is revisited again in the gameplay section I would finish the sentence at "tables available". Definetly too in-depth for the head section.
• It should be pointed out that nausea etc. are general problems with the VB and not specifically caused by the game.

• In this section, "the players" is used throughout. Thus "where you control protagonist Samus Aran's ship" should be changed accordingly.

• "Parish called it was a quality pinball game" should be changed to "called it a quality pinball game"
• "An editor for IGN called it one of the best Virtual Boy games." Why?
• IGN/PCMag and a few others are not in italics, while other publications are. Am I missing a guideline here or shouldn't they all be in italics?
• From what I understand, and to be fair this understanding may be outdated or based on mistruth, Videogames is a magazine and thus should be italicized, while IGN, being a website, should not. Correct me if I'm wrong on that
• sounds right to me, no worries ;) DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 07:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
• Also, I founc several outlets (f.e. Nintendo Life, Engadget (also written wrong)) that are not linked but should be.

All sources seem to meet the standards. What I like especially is the fact that there are a lot of online sources. Most GAs on old/obscure games mostly rely on magazines or even Japanese magazines, which is of course fine, but a bit impractical when reviewing.{{GAList/check|y}}

Copyvio, dup detector etc. all seem perfectly fine. {{GAList/check|y}}

Since it is a very niché game from a forgotten console, I think the article covers everything there is to cover.{{GAList/check|y}}

Yes. {{GAList/check|y}}

Overall, a good article that meets all the criteria and covers its topic thourougly. I will wait to check back with you concerning the issues I have pointed out, but once they're all resolved, the article will be an easy pass.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 16:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

:I think I got everything, italicized where appropriate and hyperlinked what needed to be hyperlinked. I also added an explanatory bit of IGN's reasoning for holding it in such high esteem.

:Either way, thank you for the quick and efficient review! It's been quite a pleasant experience. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 10:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

::Oh well, it was a short article that didn't need much improvment, so no big deal! :) --DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 21:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
