Request for Additional Regional Game Support
Dear PriceCharting team,
I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent platform you have developed, which is very useful for tracking video game and console collections.
However, I would like to suggest the inclusion of additional regions in your database. Currently, the platform mainly supports NTSC (USA), Japan, and PAL regions, which limits the ability to properly catalog versions released in other markets.
In my case, I own several games from different regions that cannot be accurately registered, such as:
- Chinese cover versions or releases intended for broader Asian markets (non-Japanese), including some purchased from platforms like AliExpress
- Korean cover versions
- Mexican releases which, although they use ESRB ratings, feature region-specific packaging and labeling
Including these regional variations would allow for more accurate tracking and better representation of international collections, while also enriching the platform’s database.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Answer
I am also hoping for asian (non japanese) regional variants like China and Korea.
We should have Asian English versions of all games. Those should cover Chinese and Korean games.
Thank you for your response.
I understand that Asian English versions are included, and I appreciate that support. However, I would like to clarify that my request is not related to language versions, but rather to distinct physical regional variants.
For example, many games have different releases depending on the country or market, even within Asia. These differences may include:
- Unique cover art (Chinese, Korean, or region-specific Asian markets)
- Different rating systems or labels
- Market-specific packaging, even when the game content is the same
Additionally, I would like to highlight a specific case in Mexico.
Many games sold in Mexico use ESRB cartridges (identical to U.S. versions), but the cover art is modified to include the Mexican video game rating system.
From a collector’s perspective, these are considered distinct variants, even though the cartridge itself is the same.
For collection tracking purposes, it would be very helpful to differentiate these versions based on packaging and regional presentation.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.
Please add those as "Asian English Switch" games.
