Please add Rocket Panda Games to Publishers

[mrmette]

Publisher: Aniplex Inc.

I am asking for the Japanese PS4 version of the game "Mahoutsukai no Yoru: Witch on the Holy Night"
The Japanese Switch version has the same publisher as well.

The US digital versions of the game are published by their subsidiary Aniplex of America Inc.
They might be needed to be added in the future as well since the game is going to be physically released  in the US at the end of January, but it's probably best to hold off until then.

You can find info on

Developer: Studio Zero

Could we add "Marvelous" as a publisher, Marvelous was formed after a merger between Marvelous Entertainment and AQ Interactive back in 2011, so Marvelous Entertainment as an entity does not exist anymore and they have not been using that name since then, games released after that date are under the Marvelous branding rather then the MMV (Marvelous Entertainment) branding, you can identify which publisher by the differing logos on the game box, MARVELOUS! in bold orange text for Marvelous and MMV in white (or black) italic text for Marvelous Entertainment - https://vgcollect.com/item/16066 and https://vgcollect.com/item/160565 as examples. I have not found or seen any evidence of Marvelous referring to themselves as Marvelous Entertainment since the merger.

Publisher and developer logos do not indicate the actual name for publishers and developers. Looking at games with the orange "Marvelous" logo present, several different publisher names can be found across varying item releases, none of which were were just Marvelous. The information is present among the back cover fine print text for the three below examples.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel || Marvelous Europe Limited
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns [EU] || Marvelous Inc.
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns [NA] || XSEED Games/Marvelous USA, Inc.

Please add Natsume Atari, developer of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. I understand that both the Japanese owned Natsume Atari and American owned Natsume Inc both still retain and share the name Natsume, but they are now separately run companies and have no connection to each other apart from their shared history/origins.

In the future we do not need this much information. The fastest way to get a dev/pub added is to link to a game entry page showing the dev/pub on GameFAQs or Mobygames. For example, Natsume Atari is shown as the Developer on GameFAQs
