Should these two titles be modified to Donkey Kong (NES) and Donkey Kong (GB)?

https://vgcollect.com/item/22857
https://vgcollect.com/item/26495

GameFAQs shows:
22857: Donkey Kong
26495: Donkey Kong (Original Edition)

Mobygames shows:
22857: Donkey Kong (Game Boy version)
26495: Donkey Kong

Since these are digital games, they should be named in accordance to how they show up on the 3DS eShop or how they appear on an installed system.

They are both just called "Donkey Kong" on Nintendo's website.

If you really want I can look at their listings on the actual hardware when I get home

Removed front art.
The only thing I can find about this, besides actual release dates is this Vidpro card:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/283210724648

Note it has the US player art, but the barcode on the back is the EAN, not UPC.
Is it possible that this was an exclusive? Where were these Vidpro cards used?

Incorrect title:
https://vgcollect.com/item/13197

The game's name is "FlipOut!" (with no space between the words) as seen here from the manual:
https://atariage.com/manual_page.php?SystemID=JAGUAR&SoftwareLabelID=1085&maxPages=36&currentPage=5

The listing has it styled as "Flip Out!" (I submitted an edit but it was rejected.)

Name change was rejected as the existing title meets our requirements of the Common Name policy in the Style Guide. There is a conflict for our two main sources, one uses Flip Out! and the other uses FlipOut!. The correct action here would be to put FlipOut! into alt-name. If you wish, you can note in the description that the game title as rendered in the manual is FlipOut! while on the front of the box it is Flip Out!

As there is a conflict with the two main sources, would the developer's website be considered a valid source? They do list the game as "FlipOut!"

Also, the way the title is presented on the front of the box is a stylized logo, however elsewhere on the box it is written in plain text as "FlipOut!" (copyright section at the bottom):

We are using few general sources for common names rather than having some lengthy list of sources for every different game and/or item that may exist. Because there is a conflict in the two sources (and no Jaguar specific resource has been nominated for inclusion to the resource list) it is best to leave the entry's name as is and put the other name format into alt-name. Then in description it can be noted how the name appears in the copyright info or the manual and that the game's name logo has it as two words.

Or the picture is wrong, or the barcode. I have the barcode version.

Ah, that makes sense. Well the two sources are no longer in conflict - both MobyGames and GameFAQs now list the title as “FlipOut!” Would it be appropriate to change the name here at this point?

I cannot verify the EAN (not able to find a pic)
Is this the correct cover for the EAN on the entry?

Yes you can change the name on the title to FlipOut! and put the existing title into alt-name.

I think for whatever reason, I could not get a good crop of that one. If you already have the art you can update the entry.

And then I believe that this would end up getting [NL] onto the name as well.
I removed the front art on that entry.

EDIT: Art fixed
