Nintendo Switch Online Libraries

[plain marsh]

Should they each have IGDB pages? The games that are a part of them don’t list Nintendo Switch as a system that they can be played on like games which had been on the virtual console do.

[minor furnace]

They should not be split into new pages. There will hopefully be a better solution in the future to list games on online services

[plain marsh]

I suppose that explains why there are no pages for XBLA versions of Rare games. Guess IGDB is looking for a solution with that as well.

I assume you are talking about the games under Rare Replay such as this one - https://www.igdb.com/games/jetpac

I'd advise you to look through our guidelines, especially this section on release dates for bundled games - https://github.com/twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines/wiki/Release-Date#bundled-games

Virtual Console != Nintendo Swith Online. These are very different and should not be compared.

[plain marsh]

Not talking about Rare Replay. Don’t you remember when Rare games of the N64 came to XBLA?

[plain marsh]

I think you mean =/=. Whilst Nintendo Switch Online is like the Virtual Console, how do you think games that came to the service should be indicated on IGDB?

[plain marsh]

Yeah like that. Didn’t know XBLA re-releases of Rare games had IGDB pages until now.

!= is also correct here

We plan to start tracking subscriptions and services in the coming year, and these would be tracked under subscriptions.

I don't understand the issue, then. You said we don't have pages for Rare games on XBLA?

[plain marsh]

You could always look at lists on the internet to see what Nintendo Switch Online has to offer from each system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Switch_Online_games

But you might as well stick to your way if that’s what you prefer.
