Game which doesn't meet WP:NVIDEOGAMES. All sources are the developer's website. » Shadowowl | talk 13:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only one source covers any one of the particular video games in English media (Nintendo Life). Did we try WP:BEFORE for Japanese sources? --Izno (talk) 15:39, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Japanese version seem to have more references. Can't read Japanese though. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 15:51, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Japanese version is all referenced to the developer too, although it would make sense if there were more references for these, since they were released on a major platform. A preliminary search brought up a bunch of hits from Famitsu like here and here, but they are PR-y. There are other similarly weak hits from things like Takasaki Maebashi Keizai Shimbun, [1]. Inclined to delete. Dekimasuよ! 18:01, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no independent sources, so fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I did translate the Japanese wiki page into English, thinking it would be ok like that(sorry for this). After some more research, articles on 4gamer.net (one of the biggest Japanese game information websites) do clearly state what articles are directly copied from the game developers and what articles they wrote their own. Like here (where they state it is a message from the developer) and here where they wrote the article themselves. I'll update the article with sources as soon as possible, please do not delete it yet.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
