Satakore is primarily another collecting database site aka a "competitor" not that we would forbid them from being mentioned or anything. It can be a great resource, but I don't think it qualifies for this list.

OK I updated the release date on the regular edition. If the Launch Edition is in the DB, you can put something like this into description:

pre-order exclusive from MediaMarkt, Saturn

Usually we do not get to know exactly when different editions get released. It is easier to know for current or relatively current releases, but in general most sites (even retailers and press release) tend to treat different editions as the same. At least in the US what tends to happen is that Launch Editions come out on the game's actual release date, and a regular edition just "appears" some time later without any fanfare. While it is possible that there was some press release somewhere that mentions the non-launch edition, no one seems that embedded in product news for us to have a reliable source. As a result, we are apt to reject a release date on a regular version where a launch edition exists and the date being submitted is the same.

I think in a case like this, you should post the sources you found. Even if they are in another language it shouldn't be a problem for us to figure out what is what.

Yes but there is no way to actually determine what those front-only/now-missing entries were. The missing fronts list at least gives us something we know for sure are wrong.

I have generated a list of all item entry numbers where a back image exists but the front image is missing. There are 10,407 such entries.
I can make it available for anyone who is interested in replacing front arts. It is on Google Drive, so if you have a Google account, you can PM me and I can add you as an editor.

As of today, we have completed 35.10% of this list. It seems like this is going to take forever to go through, so I will put it out there again that if anyone wants to help, let me know. Even if it means you only want to work on fixing arts for a specific section or console, it won't be a problem. Every little bit helps.

Confirmed and changed images.
Ctrl+F5 when viewing those pages if they don't appear to be changed.
Anyone can do it, but obviously you could get a reject. Staff can do it easy because we can approve our own edits immediately.

But in future you can make a post like this here, and then submit the edit, if you think there is a chance at a reject. A reject still might happen tho so coinflip I guess.

The information in the database is correct. There is an encoding issue on the pages that needs to be resolved.

Figured you probably shouldn't use the term "developer" in a thread about Developers when not talking about game developers. :p
