Game icon There's already a request for logos and I would like to add this request for icons, like the ones used for the game shortcuts.
It is common for computer games to have them, and some other platforms have icons of the games in some places (like on the memory card management system).2 votes -
Pre-2006 CERO ratings Currently, IGDB provides all the current CERO age ratings [A, B, C, D, Z], but not the pre-March of 2006 ratings [ALL, 12, 15, 18], which the organization still considers.

Actually be a database of all games Currently the IGDB is only a database of video games but is the canonical source of twitch's game list. It should include all games if it wants to be called the IGDB and not IVGDB. This includes board and card games that do not have a digital version. This choice on the data front results in non-digital games all having to be lumped into the broad board game category and having to push for individual inclusion. Either make all video games jump through the same hoops or make IGDB live up to its name.
2 votesHey there!
Understandable about the naming expectation, but i can confirm that at this point in time, and the near future at least IGDB is strictly focused on video games.
Few reasons for this:
- Coming up with video game taxonomy to set industry standard is already a monument of a task, and it makes sense for us to narrow down this goal by excluding board games, card games and other physical types.
- Twitch does have some very unique use cases beyond video games, which is why there is a distinction in being the database that powers Twitch’s gaming need, rather than being Twitch’s database itself. Our data being used by many more services than Twitch alone, we remain focused right now on video games.It’s totally possible that in a long term vision we start tackling taxonomy of non-video game products, but likely not in the near future…

Prototype datatype There are many games that ended up becoming a different game, or with prototypes so different from the official release that deserve a main entry in the database, but now there's no right way to link them (the datatypes now don't match this description, and the versions are likely to be used only to editions). A few wxamples:
EarthBound 64 / Mother 3
Gimmick Land / Tomato Adventure
Donkey Kong Racing / Sabreman Stampede

Game and platform icon For games and platforms there could be an icon imagem, of small size, which could be used as a visualization flair on the website and also as a data point for the API, as applications could use them to their UIs.

3DTV support Not a fan personally, but it might be worth documenting with a simple Yes/No Checkbox.
Ex. Jak & Daxter Collection PS3, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, etc.

Spongebob Squarepants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom As a speedrunner of Spongebob Squarepants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom it's hard to gain new viewers who may be interested because there is no category for this game and this should be changed.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Remastered Edition not showing up as game category on Twitch despite being in IGDB If you select the category for your game it only shows the old Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I believe it should show both the old game and the remaster which is called "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Remastered Edition"
Hope I came to the right place as I couldn't find anything for this topic on the Twitch Support page.

Megaman X Legacy Collection I'd like to add a stream category for Megaman X Legacy Collection as part of gaming category since there is no listing for it. We usually have a few mega man x fans who would like to see this category added to find those who will stream the game.

Add more categories and/or types of game covers. I think other categories for covers aside from Region-localization should be added.
Such as whether it's Digital or Physical (since game covers can differ between a physical box or the digital gamestore, i.e. PSN/xbox store/etc, even though it seems to be a fairly rare occurence).
Maybe even being able to say what console(s) a specific cover is for, which is helpful for some cases, such as games that might have different covers for re-releases across different generations of platforms (which also seems rare, but it does happen, i.e. the Devil May Cry HD collection has different covers for its ps3/xbox360…

Merging a few redundant game categories I've come across a few videogame categories that should be merged together. First are duplicate categories for the same game:
- "Digimon Battle" and "Digimon RPG" are the same game, the latter being the title of the current English release.
- "Digimon World 2003" and "Digimon World 3" refer to the same game; the title change was a region difference. Should merge and rename to "Digimon World 3 / Digimon World 2003".
- There are two categories named "Digimon" when I search for them, one with a cover and one without, not sure if that's a bug or something that needs to be…

This is very interesting but comes with a few issues, such as: The library isn't massive (right now) so not all games will have a link that can be added. In addition, they seem to separate for example the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the same game and then it will be hard to know what link to add where. We're going to hold off on this one for now, but could potentially be interesting in the future especially if the library grows.

Categorize Individual Roblox Games Separately under Roblox as a platform Seeing as though Roblox is starting to be a sort of platform for games as opposed to being just a game itself, I think it would make sense to categorize games that run under Roblox (such as Bad Business, Phantom Forces, etc.) separately from Roblox itself. This is purely for game-tracking purposes in game-tracking services that use IGDB as their database.

Live Streaming links for games It would be great if your database had a link to live stream channels for the game.
For example GTA V could point you to these links.

Not sure if there are other similar sites... But also if you add this please open it up to the API as well!
Thanks!

Game image catalog naming convention as altenative titles Some of the games don't get results through the API because the names used by ROM (and other game images) documenting organizations have some rules that don't apply to IGDB's main title rule.
Some of them:
If the title starts with an article, it goes to the end of the title. (Legend of Zelda, The)
If there is a non-standard character, like slashes, quotes, etc, they are removed.
The Japanese naming scheme uses double vowels instead of singles ones.It would be good to have as an alternative title option something like: "Alternative title - No-Intro Naming Convention".
I'm pretty…
