Pathologic release date a decade out.

And, for that matter, literally all the other details are wrong too. wtf?

Can't believe this isn't in the database yet:

Game: Mother 3
Platform(s): GBA
Publisher: Nintendo, HAL Laboratories
Developer: Shigesato Itoi, Brownie Brown
Genre: RPG
Release Date: 04/20/06 (JP), 10/17/08 (English Translation Patch)

I signed up with the intent of contributing one specific review (and then some others just because), but...

Mother 3 is in the database and has been for awhile:

right here

I did fill out the profile with some of the info you provided, though. :-)

That... is very strange. Because I clicked Submit and chose GBA, and was given a list of games. I Ctrl-F'd "mother" and got no results. It is very definitely not in that list. Why did that happen?

Your settings are probably locked on North American releases only. If you perform a search using the search box on each page of the site, Mother 3 will come up just fine. If you're browsing, however, only North American releases will display with your current setting. You can click "All" to see releases from all regions, or you can click "JP" to see releases only from Japan, or "EU" to see European releases only. Clicking "AU" at this point will show only releases that were available in Australia, but those listings aren't complete so it's really not advised. Note that the settings affect only genuine releases. Mother 3 wasn't actually released here in North America, so that's probably why it didn't show for you.

I changed the setting, and looked again, still didn't see it.

BUT.

I noticed a large number of entries simply called "(import)". On a whim, I clicked on the "(import)" between Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition and Motocross Maniacs Advance, and sure enough, there was Mother 3.

This seems like... a rather annoying feature. Is there any way to make titles display properly?

Ah, I see what you're doing. You're following links from the 'Submit' link in the site's upper left corner, right? The page that lists games does appear to have a bug that I wasn't aware of. That's because I and most people tend to forget the 'Submit' link is even there. Instead, we browse the site by clicking the system that interests us (along the black bar near the top of the site), then the letter the game starts with ('M' in this case). That gets us to the game profile page, and there we just scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link to submit a review.

The issue you found definitely needs to be fixed. I wasn't aware that it existed, but I'll bump it near the top of my list now that I know about it. There's a long explanation about why it's even there, but I'll spare you the details. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Not adding. Though advanced compared to what the competing platforms are offering, HOME is not a game. We don't feature listings for hardware and software interfaces.
