Title: A little help on my first submission of a regionwide version
Post by: Decode on November 02, 2019, 07:34:24 AM
Hello everyone,

Fellow game collector from Italy at your service! I'm just starting out around here, please bear with me if I get (most) things wrong.
I'm having difficulties adding a regionwide version of a game for a region that has already a subregional variation in the database. I'm trying to add the European (regionwide) version of Shovel Knight for the Nintendo 3DS, which has a german (subregional variation) already in the database and I can't submit it...

Hi

There are ways to get around that. However in this situation it won’t be a Europe wide version. As there is a German version it can’t be europe regionwide.

I assume it’s this version:

Nintendo might have given it the EUR code but it’s actually the UK version. We generally base Europe stuff off the language.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, that is the version I was referring to. I assumed it was a EU version because of the EUR suffix in its part number whereas UK titles have a UKV suffix (much like in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-182-S-00040-A)), so it's a bit confusing.

Nintendo are really inconsistent with their codes. Best ignored really :-)
