Video Game Database Discussion / Re: NEW Duplicate Listing Thread

There was an error with my Internet connection, so two duplicate entries were created:
http://vgcollect.com/item/67566
http://vgcollect.com/item/67567

Please remove the former (67566), since the latter has the box art.

I accidentally made a duplicate for Worms: Oper Warfare 2 for EU NDS (http://vgcollect.com/item/66450) by brainfarting and creating a new field instead of making edits in the original one (http://vgcollect.com/item/47162). Can you please remove it?

Okay, I made a spreadsheet and it seems that we have a lot of interesting data. There is, eventually, four main designs, the one I didn't mention is the one with a guy and a girl (P-RVL-EUR-7). Besides, we have two types of inserts that are identical to each other but have different codes and barcodes. Sadly there is a lot of missing data, but at least it's something.

Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GoA8vOyVfYI2eOAGx2gPiU2XvQFRfDFv2fLU3QI2Q_w/edit?usp=sharing

There's a different version of leaflets, with maybe 3 main ones, like you described above, but with different ads inside depending on the year of release of the game it comes with, hence the 12/13/14/15

Yeah, I definitely overlooked that. I've collected a lot of information, thanks to all of you and people on NintendoLife forums, so I'm making a spreadsheet with all info that I know now. Of course I will post a link here - maybe it will come in handy.

Modern Video Games / Wii promotional inserts - any additional info?

« on: August 03, 2014, 07:27:25 am »

I am doing some kind of research about those "Wii" leaflets that were inserted alongside with manuals in many first-party games. I wasn't be able to track their changes during Wii lifespan because I had no Wii, so I have to do it post factum.
As far as I noticed, there is three kinds of Wii inserts, at least in PAL regions.

• The first one has stock image of a white Wii and mention launch titles and "upcoming games" (interestingly, it mentions Project H.A.M.M.E.R). All copyrights are circa 2006, and I've found this leaflet in the launch-day edition of TLoZ: Twilight Princess (with red Nintendo logo), so I suppose it's the first edition of the leaflet. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#0
• The second one has an image of a dude playing Wii and "P-RVL-EUR-1" code. Copyrights are 2006-2007, and the back cover has giant symbols of Wii Remote and Nunchuk. I've found it in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#2
• The third one has images of white and black Wii, 2011 copyrights and "P-RVL-EUR-15" code. It was found in TLoZ: Skyward Sword. I think it's the last one, but I am not sure since I do not have any Wii games from 2012. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#4

Is there any other leaflets in PAL region that I missed? Is there some sort of list of games with these leaflets included? I often buy used games and I want to know that my copies have every single printed material.

And here, in Russia, the market of PSP games is quite big and stable - almost every consumer electronics shop have their selection of PSP games for sale, even if there is no other platforms represented on shelves, which is kinda strange. But I don't see anything worth of collection here because 90% of represented games are from Essentials series.
