So could this information be fully transcribed? It could in certain situations such as variants that directly relate to the specific information question, though neither this item nor the one you're introducing are or are presumed to be.

So, in this kind of cases (noticeable on ESRB Latin American releases) only the region license text block should be put in, right?

I see that dhaabi edited the entry I made earlier.

Related to that, the legalese was moved from the description (was put there as referential) to the box text section, and we have the requirements from the guide

Copyright and Legal Text
In most cases, copyright or legal text portions on products should not be entered into box text. The only exceptions would be when a variation is present and this type of text is part of the variation. If this is the case, trade symbols may be used in this portion only.

In that case, since the legal text is incomplete, shouldn't it be replaced by the whole block, especially since the reference is in the middle of it?

General / Re: Which games would you most like to see translated to your preferred language?

« on: September 02, 2025, 07:54:54 pm »

Would there really be that much of an added benefit for these games to be translated into Spanish? Apart from in-game menus, I can't think of anything that's crucial to understand. But perhaps those menus are important enough in games like Underground where there are robust customization features.

I do remember those games being released in Spanish (in particular NFS:MW05), but only in Spain, which meant both Castilian and PAL (The PC version was an import).

Honestly, I wish more games were released with proper Spanish dubs, in both versions (it's a crime that even the newest Sonic the Hedgehog only comes with a Castilian dub), with coherent language use (Forza Horizon 5 contradicts its own instructions, on both Castilian and LatAm versions) and with a way to pick the proper dub (For some reason, the Xbox version of Alan Wake Remastered only plays the LatAm dub if you have the console language set as es-MX, while all other Spanish-speaking countries get the Castilian version. This doesn't happen on the PS version).

Although Halo 2 getting an es-MX only release in Spain was kinda hilarious in perspective.

So, as I mentioned in the Admin Comments for your most recent edit submissions upon their rejection, Ubisoft Monpellier Studios should not be supplied to the 260831's Developer field since the back cover specifies that Ubisoft developed the game. However, Ubisoft Monpellier Studios may be supplied to the Description field. Something along the lines of "game data developed by Ubisoft Monpellier Studios" would suffice.

So, in the end, is a bit of a "why bother filling it up?" thing, if one entry contradicts the other. It would be like Sonic Superstars, where the game was developed by Arzest (with support from Sonic Team), but the box only lists Sonic Team; or various remasters, where the original code was developed by one company and the port was made by another (I'm looking at you, Alan Wake Remastered).

Developer rejected.

Based on that, should all other entries of the games be edited?

PS5 NA: https://vgcollect.com/item/255138
PS5 EU: https://vgcollect.com/item/245265
PS4 EU: https://vgcollect.com/item/246415
NSW NA: https://vgcollect.com/item/260177
NSW EU: https://vgcollect.com/item/245691
NSW AU: https://vgcollect.com/item/274197


And yes, we've had this argument with Ubi time and again. It's especially noticeable because the "Developed and Published by Ubisoft" thing is only used in the NA region. Seriously, look at the covers for the EU region (https://www.mobygames.com/game/216014/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown/covers/).

However, when it comes to something like this, it may be that we would want to indicate the developer of the part of the software that both of these games sit on. I don't know how the actual game data is constructed or how the UX is. For example, does this game boot into a menu first and you can pick which game to play?

There is no "launcher". It just installs both games separately (similar to what the GTA trilogy does in Xbox and PS4)

Doing a preemptive alert since I'm undoing an edit by dhaabi. The name of OK K.O.! has a period between the O and the exclamation mark. (check the logo, the spine, and the copyright notice)

Developer: Grumpyface

Note: Regarding this one, Grumpyface developed Steven Universe: Save the Light, while Capybara games did OK K.O! Let's Play Heroes. Which one takes priority?

(...) For that reason, I've merged 283231 into 96446. You can re-submit your images to the entry.

Done. Thank goodness I still had the text on the clipboard.

I just created the second entry, but it might be a duplicate? (the pictures on the first one show a silver case, and I've seen the silver case version on eBay)

Not much this month (had emergency expenses), but I've been eating some hedgehog.

Xbox 360

• Sonic Unleashed (I ordered the UK XB1-style reprint, but got a US Platinum, natch. Keeping it, cause returning it is more expensive.)

Xbox (One/Series)

• Saints Row IV
• Sonic Colors
• Sonic Forces
• Sonic Frontiers
• Sonic Origins Plus
• Sonic x Shadow Generations
• Team Sonic Racing
• Tekken 7
• Tekken 8

Now just missing Superstars to have the full Sonic set.

It is already there are Sold Out Sales and Marketing.

Related to this, shouldn't it use the trade name (as shown in the box) instead of the legal name (as registered in the UK Companies House)?

Modern Video Games / Re: What are some older IPs you would want to see brought back as a remake?

« on: May 03, 2025, 06:11:19 pm »

• Conker (both a remake with a better camera system and Other Bad Day)
• Banjo (same situation as Conker: Better camera for the remakes and Threeie)
• Ridge Racer (last mainline release was on the PSVita, and a new one using Unreal 5 would probably be amazing. Tekken 8 is one of the prettiest things I've seen this gen)
• Burning Rangers (I feel they can fully realise the idea of that game now that they're not stuck with the Saturn's old quirks)

There are lots more, but those are the ones that come to the top of my head.
