Category/Platform Requests 2.0

[tripredacus]

Holla everybody,

since there were a handfull of Sega Pico Games released by Tectoy in Brazil, why not consider adding Sega Pico (BR) as platform?   

I'd like to submit those few titles...

SegaRetro is down for me at the moment, so I can't confirm at this time. What we need to know before attempting:
1. I see there are a couple Portugese carts, Winnie the Pooh at least. Is this also released in EU, and if so how is the cart or packaging different?
2. I need to know what the BR box looks like for the system. I find pictures of the system but I do not know if they are imports or not. Since all of the Pico items on ML are the Japanese version, I can't trust a loose console from there.

Portuguese Pico products all have european style packaging and are considered EU releases.
Brazilian ones all show a Tectoy logo somewhere and have mostly blue packaging that distinguishes them from the other release versions.

Category created

Thanks a lot, I already submitted the first few entries to the category.
Meanwhile I hooked Up with an old PSN-Buddy from NorthEast Brazil, who supplies me with brazilian forum and trading websites to help me research. I'll try to come up with as much data as I'm able to gather. 

I welcome VGCs focus on reliable data presented by mods and try to dig out some hidden visual material on brazil tec toy Sega releases.

Please create the following categories under the Emerson Arcadia Platform:

1.)  Bandai Electronics Arcadia (released in Japan)
2.)  Leisure-Vision (released in Canada)

Even though each of these consoles are ROM compatible with the Emerson Arcadia 2001, they are not necessarily slot compatible.  Each console has it's own set of branded games (most of which are simply Emerson/UAL games).

I believe you also originally mentioned the Activision Home Arcade console but have since removed it from your list of requests, which seems to also have its own library. Below are links to example items for quick confirmation. Note the cartridge back design, which clearly indicates their platform-specificity.
Activision Home Arcade: 1, 2
Bandai Electronics Arcadia: 1
Leisure Dynamics Leisure-Vision: 1, 2

I'd like to start adding Switch 2 games I have preordered to my wishlist please.  Games like Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma  aren't already in the database when I went to search for them and when I go to submit a new item Switch 2 is not in the list for platform/category so I can't add them.

Switch 2 Consoles, Switch 2 NA, EU and JP created. Those regional sections are for physical games only.
Will add the digital section once it is confirmed what it is called.
Will add other sub-cats when actual items are known to exist.

There are pre-order pages for AU, HK (for our purposes, CN), KR, and TW regions, alongside pages across various regions for accessories. I did not find physical pre-orders for BR.

[tripredacus]

When items from those countries are proven to exist physically, we can add those sections. Pre-order pages are not enough.

If that is the stance being taken, then why was the parent category created at all at this time? The Switch 2 does not release until June 5, meaning no physical items are currently proven to exist.
