I'll get to this eventually. Cognissonance (talk) 10:32, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

History

"then still codenamed the "Dolphin"" Could you add the source that follows (GameSpot) next to this? IGN doesn't mention it.
- Done
"Nintendo remained cautious and tight-lipped" Isn't "tight-lipped" just another way of saying "cautious"?
- Not really. Cautious means that internally at Nintendo, they were tentative and leery on how to approach online gaming. Tight-lipped means they were not talking publicly about it. They could have been cautious and outspoken, or determined and tight-lipped, but not the case here. If you have a better word to sum it up by all means, but I couldn't find one.

Hardware

Add links to Ethernet and Dial-up Internet access.
- Done
"but the Broadband Adapter is required for LAN-only games and Homeland" The source has no mention of "Homeland".
- Added source

Supported games

This whole section needs more past tense language.
- I think I fixed it. I battled with this myself because the games can STILL be played online. The official support was the only thing discontinued.
"while also fixing bugs and exploits" The source does not mention this.
- Removed
Refs. 34, 35, 36 (Spike-Chunsoft) are not displaying the same things as the archived versions. I'd suggest switching to deadurl=yes. Also, none of them have the language= parameter.
- Done
Ref. 37 (Konami) also doesn't have a language= parameter.
- Done

Overall

Very impressive and clean. Cognissonance (talk) 11:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
