Transfer Pak

I've been working on our coverage of this subject for the last couple of months, first when it was a subsection on the greater Nintendo 64 accessories article before splitting it off and further fleshing it out. I've attempted to make sure no content is missing, with everything being adequately cited with reliable secondary sources, supplemented by first party sources via various game instruction manuals in instances where the former doesn’t explicitly detail the accessory's functionality for a given game. I don't know that it's good enough to reach GA status (and unfortunately I'm not sure it ever will be, given its overall lack of reception in verifiable sources beyond those already cited; believe me, I've looked), but I wouldn't mind if someone gave it a look to see if it's worth trying anyway, or at least if there are any obvious problem areas that can be fixed. It would be nice if I could at least get it reevaluated to B-class. Thanks much. Cyberlink420 (talk) 10:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Comments after a quick skim:

• Third paragraph in "History" is quite long. Any way to split it up?
  •  Done. I split off the mention of Cabbage into its own paragraph describing cancelled games intended to have Transfer Pak support, while the rest was separated into one about games that were announced to have Transfer Pak support at one point before it was removed.
• Suggest archiving references using IABot, use this link to run it on this page
  •  Partly done. Will let it run later tonight.
• Is there any information on the accessory's impact on the gaming community? Did it inspire or lead to other technology?
  •  Done. Found already cited sources that draw parallels between the accessory and its "successor", the GameCube - Game Boy Advance link cable.
• Try looking for more sources on Google Scholar, WP:LIBRARY, or your local library system.
  •  Not done. Still need to set up a WP:Libary account. I'm not super optimistic about my odds of finding anything though.
• I think the lede can be expanded to two paragraphs.
  •  Done. Last sentence was separated, and the new paragraph was expanded with brief mention of games that had their support removed, along with a mention of how it inspired later connectivity efforts.

I hope this helps. I reclassified this as B-class. Z1720 (talk) 18:04, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I updated the article and addressed each of your points individually. I'll continue to keep an eye out for more sources I could potentially use to expand the article. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

For an article this niche, consider asking for help in WikiProjecr Video Games for more advice. Other than that, disregarding sourcing and accuracy concerns, I think that this article is good to go at WP:GAN. CactiStaccingCrane 15:22, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
