 * Lead
 * "released on May 24, 2013 but received"..... add a comma after "2013" per MOS:DATE
 * remove the space after "pre" in "pre -installed"


 * Gameplay
 * "Mario-like" should link to Super Mario (series)


 * Development
 * "while studying programming at a local university"..... if known, I'd give the university's name
 * What did the creator find to be "too complicated" about games like Angry Birds?


 * Release
 * Unlink Angry Birds
 * Discontinuation
 * There too many short paragraphs here, I'd merge them to have two or three larger paragraphs instead of six incomplete ones
 * "Nguyen's Twitter account received abuse from fans unhappy with the decision"..... "abuse" doesn't seem like the best term, just say that fans criticized Nguyen's decision to discontinue the game
 * "Tuoi Tre News" is actually Tuổi Trẻ
 * It would help to name the Nintendo spokesperson
 * Give a time range for when Nguyen spoke with Forbes


 * Legacy
 * Sesame Street should be italicized as it is a TV show


 * Reception
 * Needs more reviews before "controversies and criticism" subsection; this game has received substantial coverage from many critics


 * Controversies and criticism
 * "canada.com" should link to Postmedia News


 * References
 * FN1: Missing work/publisher
 * FN2: Dead
 * FN5: Link The Daily Telegraph
 * FN6: "Philly.com" shouldn't be in the author field, and link Philadelphia Daily News
 * FN7: Link Time (magazine)
 * FN8: Link USA Today
 * FN9: Link Forbes
 * FN10: Twitter tends to be discouraged as a source
 * FN11: Link United Press International
 * FN12: Should just read PC Magazine
 * FN13: IGN should not be italicized
 * FN's 14, 15, and 17: reliable?
 * FN18: Link The Verge, which should be in italics
 * FN's 19 and 21: reliable?
 * FN22: "The Sentinel" is the work, not the author, and link to The Sentinel (Staffordshire)
 * FN26: Should just read "USA Today" once
 * FN29: same as FN13, though also remove "IGN UK"
 * FN30: Should read Tuổi Trẻ
 * FN32: Link CNET
 * FN34: Unlink USA Today
 * FN's 37 and 38: remove CBS Interactive, and GameSpot should not be italicized. Link GameSpot in FN37
 * FN41: Link Geek.com
 * FN42: I'm skeptical about this
 * FN44: same as FN29
 * FN45: Not the best of sources
 * FN's 46, 47, and 48: reliable?
 * FN49: Unlink The Daily Telegraph
 * FN51: Link Kotaku, and only use it once here without italics
 * FN's 53, 54, and 55: URL's not displaying correctly
 * FN56: Should read Pocket Gamer
 * FN57: Should link to Postmedia News


 * GA Result
 * I am failing this nomination as the references need work and—as stated during its GAR—the article needs expansion.
 * Thanks for the review, I'll address the references and will do an expansion soon. Once it's ready I'll renominate. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
