Title: ACA NEOGEO on Nintendo Switch
Post by: badATchaos on October 29, 2017, 12:58:45 pm
Pulisher Hamster has been releasing a bunch of NeoGeo games on Switch this year under their "ACA NEOGEO" series. These games have ACA NEOGEO in the name of the product and read as such on main menu of the game system and in the online store. For example Aero Fighters 2 is labelled as ACA NEOGEO Aero Fighters 2.

Currently in our database (https://vgcollect.com/browse/eshopswitchna/2) these have been simplified to their original name, and remove ACA NeoGeo. My question is; should we continue to remove the ACA NeoGeo from the product names despite the fact that's actually what there are called in the system itself?

They probably should be called by the ACA NeoGeo title and then the original title as an alternate name imo.

Alt title doesn't need to have the same info if it is in main title.

They could be done like so, example:

King of Fighters '94, The - ACA NeoGeo

or

ACA NeoGeo: The King of Fighters '94

note, there does not seem to be a "the hyphen" in the rendering of NeoGeo on the images.

Colon sounds best to me

I agree, colon looks better/makes more sense to me.

For the Arcade Archives series of games on PS4, Switch and XBox 1, should the colon also follow the Arcade Archives?
For example, the title a game is Arcade Archives DOUBLE DRAGON, but in our database, should it be Arcade Archives: DOUBLE DRAGON?

Relevant, as this issue is not unique to these Switch releases:
