Naname De Magic!

There does not appear to have any sources about it, even after over a decade being tagged as having no citations. For a Japanese exclusive game it also having no Japanese article seems very indicative there is no notability to the game. GamerPro64 18:34, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete I only see Wikipedia mirrors and no reliable independent sources in English. Prepared to reconsider if any good Japanese sources are found. Mccapra (talk) 19:17, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment It appears that Naname De Magic! (ななめでまじっく！) was covered twice in Gamest magazine (by different writers, on only 1 page in both issues) according to this website: http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~dummy/gamest/game/h_n.html, although I have no idea if these issues have scans online, and thus how significant the coverage is. toweli (talk) 16:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * One of the issues (no. 119) is available on the Internet Archive: https://ia902505.us.archive.org/10/items/gamest0119/gamest0119.pdf (page 182 in the magazine, page 194 in the .pdf). toweli (talk) 16:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This really would require someone who can read Japanese text to figure out what they're even saying. GamerPro64  05:17, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You can just point a cell phone with Google Translate in camera mode at your computer monitor, and you can get a rough GTranslate version of the text. It's not super-deep (i.e. it's not "games journalism" like Wikipedia prefers it written in a sober voice about strengths and weakness, but rather a for-kids style explanation of the plot and game mechanics.

 * Redirect to List of Atlus games. This game clearly exists and was from a major publisher per links above, but it is probably best covered as a simple list entry, perhaps with a paragraph.  (Maybe a spin-off article like "List of minor Atlus games" or something?  Title is not great, but idea being a place to merge games worth a section of coverage but not a full article.)

 * Redirect - F-Zero. List of Atlus games as an alternative. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:52, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
