• The article was not expanded 5x within the past week, and has significant prose and sourcing issues. This was when the nominator started work on the article, and this is their most recent edit to the page as of me writing this comment. The bytes difference between these two revisions is only about 900, and the prose is pretty much the exact same. Therefore, the article was not expanded 5x within the past week. The claim that the hook is making is also not sourced in the article, only being mentioned in the lead and not in the main body. I have added a "not verified in body" tag as a result. Furthermore on the articles sourcing, it currently has an orange cleanup banner commenting on the page's lack of citations; alongside two "citation needed" tags in the Release section, the entire Gameplay section is unsourced, and the IGN score in the retrospective reviews box is also lacking a source. The article also cites Nintendo Everything at one point, which WP:VG/S classifies as an unreliable source. I'm also, in general, just not a big fan of this articles writing: the gameplay section is bullet points instead of an actual encyclopedic overview of the games mechanics, and it's unclear what material in the plot section is actually gameplay mechanics or plot points. This article is not ready to be shown on the main page, and is ineligible to begin with. I recommend that the nominator take a look at the criteria for whether or not an article can appear on Did you know,, as well as our reliable sources policy. λ NegativeMP1 20:03, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
