Ice Climber
Since I began updating this article long ago, it has undergone major additions and rewriting. I believe it is becoming a very "complete" article. However since Ice Climber is a very old and relatively lesser known game, much of its history is very hard to track down. If anyone could contribute to (or point me in the direction of information concerning) its development and history within the world of gaming in general, it would be greatly appreciated. Since the game is of the same generation of Super Mario Bros. and other games of Nintendo's early history, Ice Climber does hold a certain significance. I'd love to see this article achieve GA status one day.--Blackbox77 (talk) 02:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Prose/Layout/Style
 * The article is understandable, but could use a good copyedit. I can help if you like.

✅
 * The lead probably doesn't need those inline citations, because what they're citing isn't super-controversial.


 * The lead is a little short...can it be expanded? It doesn't contain anything about the game's legacy, for instance.


 * I know it's tough for older games, but are there any reviews available? There's no Reception section at all.

✅
 * That table in Releases would probably be better expressed as prose (with sources).

Images ✅
 * Both images are kind of huge, can they be a little smaller?

Sources

✅
 * Some of the references are incomplete (don't have a publisher, etc.).


 * There are sentences that require inline citations, like:


 * "While early U.S. copies featured the seal design, they were redone as a more imaginary creature over concerns of animal cruelty (seal clubbing)."

✅


 * "Morita was later credited with central programming roles in numerous games including the Super Mario Bros. series, The Legend of Zelda series, and Star Fox 64."

✅


 * "Including the releases listed below, the entire NES game is found within the 2001 Nintendo 64 release of Animal Forest and the 2002 GameCube release of Animal Crossing."

✅


 * "'The Summit' recreates the bonus level mountain peak right down to the original vegetables."

✅

Not bad, all told. Flesh out Development and Releases and it could be an easy B, although in my opinion it really needs some kind of Reception/Legacy section to pass GA (especially seeing as the article's importance is listed as "mid"). —   Levi van Tine  ( t  –  c )   10:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
