Article is about an game that author claims was never released. Notability anyone? –BuickCenturyDriver 04:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Did the new page patrol for this one and cleaned up the hideous initial article. Looked around and while I can confirm the game exists and was released in Japan on May 03, 1991 for the NEWS (according to Gamespot), that's all. Could not find any coverage in any reliable sources. Google News found some Japanese results, but they all ended up being for a new restaurant of the same name opened recently. Even GameSpot has nothing beyond the info page. As such, it is clearly not notable and should be deleted. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 04:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - Like most early 90s games, the most likely place to find sources is in Japanese magazines around the time of its release. It's also given a brief mention in a 1up.com article. Nifboy (talk) 15:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Although it is likely that there are sources in Japanese magazines, Japanese-language magazines lying around Japan are of scant use to the average wikipedian around these parts. That leaves us with the passing mention from 1up and some 'unreliable' but informative pieces from the likes of Hardcore Gaming 101, which unfortunately aren't usable. Largely falls afoul of WP:V let alone WP:N, I think it'll have to remain on those sites for now. Someoneanother 20:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Comment I said that it was never released over in the US; though it was released in Japan. If you doubt its existence, give me evidence proving me wrong. Tharthandorf Aquanashi (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
