Hi! The video games isn't my main sphere of interest, but this nomination was in-quote for REALLY long. Quickly scanning through, the articles seems already great and my guess that is the reason why no one tried to review it! I'll add soft suggestions for clarity and general review things (plagiarism, broadness, etc).

History

Additionally mention that Viktor Savyuk established Steepler, a Russian IT-company, since this fact isn't cited in the lead (as usual for Wiki lead sections), and this lack of the clarification the sentence "Nintendo showed no interest in the market of Commonwealth of Independent States" awkwardly disconnected. I'm, as a Russian, know about CIS and how it connects to Dendy (CIS → Russia is a member of CIS → Steepler is a Russian), but I would've wanted the section to make this connection for me.

Not sure how to handle this. I'll think on this a little more. --Sleeps-Darkly (talk) 22:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph seems great. The second paragraph could be open with, for example: Steepler, searching potential partners in the gaming console market, did not consider selling the original Famicom manufactured by Nintendo, because Nintendo showed no interest in the market of Commonwealth of Independent States and their consoles were three times more expensive than its bootleg clones.

Probably merge two "Taiwanese companies" related sections after the nintendo sentence. Savyuk established connections with Taiwanese console manufacturers and expressed interest in their products. and Eventually, Steepler made a deal with the Taiwanese firm TXC Corporation, which produced Famiclones and sold them under the Micro Genius brand. → Savyuk established connections with Taiwanese console manufacturers, and eventually, Steepler made a deal with the Taiwanese firm TXC Corporation, which produced Famiclones and sold them under the Micro Genius brand.

Thanks for reviewing this! OK, I have addressed both of these, but reworded this a little differently. Does it work now? --Sleeps-Darkly (talk) 22:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
