Title: NES X-Men
Post by: tpugmire on February 25, 2011, 11:02:55 am

Sooo... Another weird one.
Nintendo.com has it listed as Marvel's X-Men on their classic game list.  We have it listed the same way.  The cart itself says "The Uncanny X-Men", while the end label on the cart says just "X-Men".  I can see this getting added in the database a few times because of this.  Do we just leave it alone and hope nothing happens?  I can keep up on the duplicates, but I'd like to avoid issues that create them in the first place.

 This one?  (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-027-S-07080-A) I'd list it as The Uncanny X-Men. Since that's what's on the box.  I had the same problem when i was doing Spider-Man (http://vgcollect.com/item/9622) on genesis.

Any way to merge these together somehow? perhaps have an AKA?

I think we should list it as "Uncanny X-Men, The" and make sure we note the alt title in the description.

Yeah, that's the one.  I like the idea of noting the alternate title.  Searching may be a bit weird though.  Our search function seems to be very picky I've noticed.  Any way to loosen up the search engine a bit?

I'm sure it will do whatever you want after a few drinks TP. :D

I've got an advanced search page that I'm working on that will allow you to filter by platform and other options. Right now it simply searches on the title.
