requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Support & Optional Since the game no longer only Wii U exclusive the game (in my option) should be called "Zombi" and since game was released in 2012 for wii u, i went with that choice.

Oppose - Other platform editions will call it simply Zombi. ZombiU was/is intended for the Wii U edition. According to the policy that the nominator cited, an inaccurate or ambiguous name is discouraged, even when either is often used by sources. Regardless of release year in the title, the title shall stay Zombi. When the release date comes, the game will be re-released as Zombi in other editions. Nice proposal though. --

Oppose; this is separate from a normal remaster situation because the "U" in the title is a direct reference to its original console, and was never intended to be carried over to any ports. ONR(talk)18:28, 13 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Support per nom and WP:COMMONNAME as ZombiU is clearly what the game is commonly known as. The Wii U version is also the primary topic of the article - for instance, the gameplay and reception sections focus on it exclusively without mention to any of the other versions. If the current title is retained then those sections must be rewritten so that the Xbox/PS4/Windows ports become the primary focus.

Support: Am I right in saying that this article has been titled
ZombieU since its creation, and was only moved to Zombi on the 1st of August? If so, the original move should have been reverted and it should be the person/people who want it to be called Zombi having to have a move debate to move it from its status quo title of ZombieU. ZombieU is the common name, the 2015 versions are ports and sub-subservient to the original. -

Support - per WP:COMMONNAME. Ports don't override the original title and are a minor aspect of the overall article in its current state. Additionally, the inclusion of "2012" in the title leads to a misleading assumption that it was known as such from the start (despite this being cleared up in the intro sentence). If it is kept at Zombi, I share the same concerns as Satellizer in regards to the content.

requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
"It was released for the Wii U as its launch game in November 2012." was it THE launch game or one of several launch games because this makes it sound like the only game that came out with the WiiU.
There's way too much namedropping of other games in the lead instead of discussion about the game itself. It is mentioned that it is influenced by six games and a film, with barely any mention of its own development despite the hefty design section in the article. Maybe include some years to show milestones of devleopment in that middle para.
Maybe explain what "chicken" mode does in Gameplay for non-gamers.
"Four hundred years ago, scientist John Dee made what was known as the Black Prophecy; it was fulfilled in 2012." it then goes on to talk about the coming apocalypse , then says again that it's been realized. Need to remove the "It was fulfilled in 2012 and move it after the preparation stuff.
"According to Jean-Karl Tupin-Bron, the team was sorry to realize" - sorry is not the correct term to use here.
"ZombiU received mainly-positive reviews from critics, with scores ranging from 4/10 from GameSpot to 9.2/10 from Official Nintendo Magazine." This doesn't really make sense. If you can't find a source which explicitly states the critical response, then I suggest you rephrase this to say "ZombiU received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic, with scores ranging..." then use the rest. "mainly positive" isn't accurate when you're saying 4/10 to 9.2 out of 10. That's bad to good.
Ditch all of hte "Its emphasis on horror was praised." openings of each paragraph in the Critical Reception unless you can source them.
The cover art image rationale is not complete. The link goes to a different image than the one used in the infobox, the rationale just says "games". It's the same for
File:ZombiU gameplay screenshot.jpg, it's barely there and says it will be used in the infobox which is not where it is used, and
File:Killer Freaks from Outer Space gameplay.jpg. The other images are fine.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
@
Darkwarriorblake: - Thanks for the review. I believe I have fixed most of the content issues. For the image part, I am not really familiar with them so I made the amendments using your GA nom as a template. I hope you don't mind. Thanks once again!

Your changes are very good Adrian, I've slight Ce'd the lead which had a small typo, but other than that I am happy with the changes you've made to the body text and the image summaries mentioned above. Congratulations!
