I'll be back with a review soon, hopefully within a few days!--AlexandraIDV 10:47, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox/lead

  • The {{nihongo}} template in the lead presents "Kuma-tan Zoo" as if it were a romanization of くまたんち - I'm assuming it's a translation, and that {{nihongo|'''''Kumatanchi'''''|くまたんち|extra="Kuma-tan Zoo"|lead=yes}} would be correct
    • Done.
  • "Upon release" is an unnecessary construction in most circumstances, unless you're using it to contrast with pre-release reception
    • Done.

Gameplay

  • tasked with looking after (...) tasked with managing - would recommend rewording one or both of these to avoid repetition of the phrase in such quick succession
    • Done.
  • I question whether including the Japanese terms for the head pat and the forehead flick really adds anything for readers
    • Removed.

Development and release

  • a more adult perspective comparable with the style of Shimoneta. - unclear what this means even with the link
    • Removed.
  • an earlier dojin product - earlier, you rendered the word with a macron. Additionally, it should be italicized per MOS:FOREIGNITALICS
    • Did my best to rephrase it, and follow the styling guide.

Reception

  • Joystiq should be italicized, as the name of a creative work
    • Done.
  • Otherwise this looks fine. It's on the short side, but I guess that's how it is with these smaller releases. I did find this Dragon's Crown review from 4players, where they mention Kumatanchi as the one exception among all of Vanillware's games, that did not have their "extraordinary" sense for art design, which you may want to implement to flesh out the section a little bit.
    • Added.

References

  • Looks fine in terms of reliability

Images

  • Both images seem fine, both in terms of use and in their non-free use rationale

Not mandatory for GAN, but I'm noting it anyway

  • I would strongly recommend adding brief alt text to all images to aid readers with impaired vision
    • Put in alts.
  • The ref formatting is inconsistent (sometimes the website is listed as the publisher, sometimes the publisher is listed as the website)
    • Sorted.

Looks pretty good! I will put this on hold for the standard seven days - ping me when you have addressed the issues, or if you have any questions. Thank you~!--AlexandraIDV 13:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexandra IDV: I hope I've addressed everything there. Whatever happens, I'll be glad to put this article to bed considering its gameplay. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:34, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake: Thank you, it looks good to go for GA now! And yeah, I can definitely see why they didn't want to localize it, geez...--AlexandraIDV 05:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NA release?

[edit]

As far as I'm aware, Kumatanchi has never had a PC release, Hasbro being involved in development, or an English translation. Can anyone find a source for any of these claims? 50.70.231.129 (talk) 19:30, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Has one. Protect1835 (talk) 10:24, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that releases in less than two countries are illegal by law. Protect1835 (talk) 10:26, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Only for Kumatanchi. Protect1835 (talk) 10:26, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The source is for the claims is still available. Protect1835 (talk) 10:47, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In North America, as of the downloaded PDF, Kumatanchi is a subsidiary of Hasbro. Protect1835 (talk) 12:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protect1835, you have not provided any evidence for any international release or even existence of a PC port. Attempts at finding this information for myself has yielded no credible results or dumps, only other wiki pages that were edited or aggregation sites that obtained this false edit. If you wish to make changes, cite a credible source detailing this edition. 50.70.231.129 (talk) 03:55, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Release in North America

[edit]

Everybody knows, It is not only released in Japan. Protect1835 (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Protect1835, please discuss your edits here at the Talk rather than edit warring. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 12:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
