Category/Platform Requests 2.0

Small product line. Maybe in a few years when Blaze expands the line, we can think of putting it in its own section. There really isn't any presence for them in the db, most of their products are in Dedicated Consoles.

Request for a Vita [TW] category please

EDIT: Also Xbox One [KR] please

Around what amount of items might warrant the separate category? Just because I'm kinda stoked over the thing & intend to follow it awhile, I wanna know when it's appropriate to bring up again.

No real goalpost for it. If I had to think about it, maybe 250 items, which puts a category at 10 pages.

Remember to not try to use the existing categories as a guide. Many catergories were created just because people have asked and no one did any work on them outside of items they owned. There are many categories that should not have been created without there being the promise of someone to actually work on them.

Thanks, I'll be adding some games this weekend probably

Hey, I don't know if there is a reason for it not being on the site but is it possible that you could add Playstation Network PS4 for Hong Kong?

There's a cool remake of the Japanese cult classic PS1 game, Kowloon's Gate,that actually received an English translation there. Thanks

Looks like we need a Wii U demos category.  It exists for the Wii but not the U.

Here is one example of what is sitting in the retail [NA] category that doesn't really belong

Not for just one game. You can make the entry in the Japan category and then put [HK] in the title.

Again, not for just one game.

I didn't see any discussion in this thread about adding a PlayStation VR category listing to be added, so maybe this could put into consideration. There are a considerable number of titles that aren't just VR-compatible but require VR. I don't think that this is an exhaustive list since it shows only PAL releases, but it seems to show a healthy amount of titles that could be representative of all TLD releases.

I could be wrong about this, but all these games are still PS4 games and require the PS4 to play them. Playstation VR is an accessory to the PS4, not a console itself.

While that is a good point, the database has individual category listings for the Sega CD, Turbografx-CD, etc. already. To me, PlayStation VR is on equal footing with listings like these.

Sure, but that's a change in the media type. An admin can correct me if I'm wrong, but categories in the DB are split by platform, then further differentiated by media type (disc, cartridge, digital, floppy disc, cassette, etc.) All PSVR games are either disc or digital, and all are played on the PS4 console, so another category isn't necessary. They would just go in PS4 disc or digital. It's about the format the data are on.

The only exception to that is the PS1/PS2 classics category, which I asked to have removed/addressed a long time ago (it's still in Jason's to do list to fix it iirc).

Agreed, those categories need to go.
