Martin IIIa (talk | contribs) I'm still not seeing sourcing to support the claim of a Weird West series setting. The claims about the series reception are also grossly undersourced, being based entirely on a single critic's comments in fan-oriented retrospective articles. Kaneko said Sony wouldn't let him start a new series, not that they wouldn't let him continue Wild Arms. |
