Super Kirby Clash


I've listed this article for peer review because I plan on taking it to GA soon. I've created the article from scratch over the last two months, and I'm hoping I can take it all the way. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 * The article just needs expansion, period. Its gameplay and reception sections are both extremely short - only about several sentences. If one can't pull more information from the collective reviews on the game, I'm not sure what to say. Compare and contrast to the size of those respective sections in an article I brought to GA, Tetris DS and you will see the difference.
 * Another issue is Development is near nonexistent. Make sure you don't confuse development with original research. I'm not sure if "give the player a sense of advancement" is something the devs said, or just a speculation. I actually found a blogpost by the game designer and general director with legitimate development info here and here (requires Google Translate). There may be more, I didn't look super hard. Its also possible that any dev info for the previous 3DS game that this is based on could be integrated, since they all seem to refer to it as an "evolution" of that game (I'm not sure how similar the two are). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW, "give the player a sense of advancement" is something the devs said, albeit rephrased a bit. The second and third paragraphs are sourced to Super Kirby Clash Channel, which sounds like a crappy blog but is actually a channel on the news application for the Nintendo Switch, making it an acceptable primary source. Anyway, I will keep in mind your suggestions. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added a screenshot to the article. Feel free to add a caption. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 17:07, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I added a caption. Thanks for the help! QuicoleJR (talk) 17:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * P.S. I have modified article class to C. It is still pretty firmly there IMO, not to get into a pitched debate about it or anything. I just don't want to give false illusions about how close it is to GA. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, I was considering it myself after you made your first comment. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The 5th and 6th citations (Super Kirby Clash Channel) do not have a url link or ISBN number, and are repeated. This is strange and I think this would make it fail WP:GACR 2b. Neuroxic (talk) 13:15, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah. You see, those are to the news application for the Nintendo Switch, which does not have an ISBN or URL to provide. It is built-in software for the Switch game console. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:57, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Comments from Z1720
I agree that this article needs an expansion. WP:VG/S has a list of reliable sources that are typically used in video game articles; this will help find new sources. Also, check out some video game featured articles to see what sections are missing from the article. Z1720 (talk) 14:52, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
