"Gamest" ranking seems to be wrong, see the cited source (another Maestro2016 "gift" it seems). Replace with proper data.	☒N	☒N	☒N
The "Gamest Grand Prize" is, as far as I can tell, not based on grossed income (as the article heading claims), but rather user/reader ranking (plus jury "adjustment" apparently)	☒N	☒N	☒N

Potential second source for "Gamest" ranking: Game Master Mook Vol. 112 "The Best Game 2"

The source of the 1.5-million-in-a-week sales figure of FF7 is an article in a university newspaper titled "The pain of addiction" (behind a paywall to boot) that directly contradicts a credible source that says 0.5 million copies were sold in less than three weeks (yet another Maestro2016 addition)	checkY	checkY	☒N
The same issue is present in the US sales figures, with the same cited, dubious source	checkY	checkY	☒N

Cool Math Games start needs a source	checkY	checkY	☒N
Release IBM-compatible SDK for PlayStation needs a source	checkY	☒N	☒N

The "Business" section should probably be sorted: first the (sorted) dated entries, then the un-dated	N/A	☒N	☒N
All entries in the "Business" section need a source	☒N	☒N	☒N
The claim of THQ being renamed in 1997 is factually wrong: it was reincorporated in 1997, but had used the name THQ long before that	checkY	☒N	☒N
The second source about the GameTek bankruptcy in the GameTek article ~~(削除) actually does not mention GameTek at all (削除ここまで)~~ never mind, the OCR just didn't work, it's mentioned in the "Robotech is still on" section; ironically, it is a second source for the 1 million sold copies of Diddy Kong Racing, though (see top of the "Tidbits..." section)	checkY	☒N	☒N

Issue	Researched	Prepped	Commited
The "Lawsuits" section needs sources	☒N	☒N	☒N

The Lost Vikings 2 was apparently released on 1997年03月14日 for SNES in the EU, according to Nintendo Magazine UK, not on 1997年02月27日?	checkY	☒N	☒N
