My bad, was thinking of something else entirely. Ignore me.

Truth be told, I would have expected the same thing, @ShikenNuggets

Like to request the Neo Geo CD. Have a run but no platform. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Geo_CD

This thread is for adding consoles/platforms that games can be played on.

Not to be added, but more of a question. Why is Xbox One X under obscure?

Valhalla

Cause nobody owns one. :^)

Nah, uh, probably cause it's just an upgraded Xbone?

Compilation of requests since last update:

Platforms: Dec 30 2017: @SomeBroYouDontKnow - Switch VC (Vs. Super Mario Bros.) Jan 15 2018: @ED - Xbox360 arcade (Metal Arms) Jan 16 2018: @ebloodycandy - Fairchild Channel F ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Channel_F ) Jan 18 2018: @Habreno - NVidia Shield TV (Twilight Princess) Jan 21 2018: @Crankthatsnes - Game.com ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game.com ) Feb 09 2018: @NerdyNester - NGCD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Geo_CD ) Mar 18 2018: @NerdyNester and @sYn - TG-16CD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboGrafx-16#CD-ROM_add-ons https://console5.com/wiki/Turbo_Grafx_CD-ROM_Drive ) Jun 17 2018: @Wipeoutjack7 - WiiWare ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiiWare ) Jun 18 2018: @Soulkilla - PS2 HDD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2_Expansion_Bay#Hard_disk_drive )

Regions: Jan 18 2018: @Habreno - CHN as a proper region rather than being tied to the iQue.

Notes: Switch VC does not appear to be out yet but I cannot find a confirmation in either direction. There's a discussion on this naming concept here: https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/ooitt Ed's post apparently was deleted, but the request may still be valid. Account believes to be deleted as well but I have no way of confirming this. TG-16CD is in fact separate from TG-16, as per @sYn 's post on May 07 2018 later on this page. PS2 HDD is interesting as not every game supports it, so it may be misused, but for games that support it it is very relevant due to loading times from installed games. There are other requests in this thread that were made but I do not believe are valid. I've listed them below for completeness's sake.

Other Requests (Platforms): Jan 16 2018: @Ewil - Apple II GS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIGS ) - per @NihilistComedyHour falls under Apple II

TG-16 exists, is there a difference that the CD is also needed?

Will Wii Virtual Console and Wii U Virtual Console be added to Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom?

Thanks

United States

^ ask the game moderators about that. This thread is to request platforms and regions that are not available to select on the site, so they can be added to games, not to request a specific platform or region that already exists to be added to a game.

Going to provide another bump to this. The compilation post at the top of this page should still be accurate, with the possible exception of TG-16 CD if it's different enough ((I do not know))

The CD-ROM(2) for TG-16 is different - it was an add-on (and then later combined in a duo system). There are certain games that were only released for Turbografx-CD such as Beyond Shadowgate - I had just went with TG-16 for platform but that is inaccurate/due to lack of TG-CD not existing as a platform choice.

Thank you for the clarification. I've added that to the compilation post.

As a rondo of blood runner I gotta give a +1 to the pcengine super cd/ tg-cd, cd-rom(2) whichever of it's 10 names you choose to use.

this is a very true statement xD however there was more than just pong

Valhalla

Other than a racing game and a breakout clone not sure I see much. Seems like little reason to add a whole console to the site. Easy call for this would be has SRC included any other "pong era" systems where you only had a few games on the system and they were usually a variety of the same game?
