  1. The Multiplayer Modes seem to have a theme when you look over the options available in Categorization. Almost all of them include specific special cases for some form of Co-op or shared Split-Screen, but none for LAN Competitive.

    The most obvious examples I can think of would be the GBA Link cables for local LANs such as the Sonic games, or the Ad-hoc/WiFi features of the PSP, 3DS and others where these aren't Co-op modes or Split Screen, but Linked and Competitive.

  2. It would be nice to add 'hardware bundles' of games to the database. With NES & SNES Classic Mini, Mega Drive Mini, Neo Geo Classic, Playstation Classic Mini, Capcom home arcade, 1Up Arcades and several other mini consoles on the market, it would be nice to integrate those as 'hardware bundles' - bundles of existing games that are bundled in one hardware release.
    it could be realised with a dedicated category like Main Game, DLC, Bundle,… or just marked as Bundle. The platform where it is released could be either specific for each release or could be one general "hardware…

    Heya!
    We recently discussed adding the ‘retro classic’ mini consoles on IGDB, likely as a Version to the main consoles.

    While that would help having the data for the hardware itself, currently we wouldn’t be able to have a listing of game for a particular console version. Which can prove tricky for some specific edge cases, Starfox 2 comes to mind being exclusive to SNES Mini for example.

    I can confirm adding to those consoles is on our backlog as an initial step, platform Bundles though would probably be a separate task.

    Thanks!

  3. Currently, custom lists seem to only show up on Desktop and fail to be listed on the mobile versions.
    Is that something you can fix/add?

  4. Currently, there are ratings displayed in "Rated" list (https://www.igdb.com/users/<username>/lists/rated). However, they are written in too small font. Originally I wanted to suggest to display ratings, because I didn't notice them at all. The main thing someone would go to this list is to see what ratings user gave to certain games. So, it would be better if those ratings were displayed in bigger font and maybe not in grey color.

    Hey! yes that’s a good point. The automated lists (Want/Playing/Played/Rated/Reviewed) are all very old and in need of a big revamp.
    Displaying the rating with our star rating for example would be indeed better suited than a grey number.

    While Lists feature upgrade is definitely something we want to do, it’s not currently in our short term roadmap unfortunately. We’ll keep the community in the loop as soon as we tackle that!

    Thanks!

  5. Get an email whenever a game you want is released or the release date changes.

  6. 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.

  7. Like Steam offers, there should be localized posters. Chinese posters, for example, will often have a completely different name and/or different brand logo.

  8. Game revisions (like Alpha, Beta,1.0,1.1,1.2,2.0, etc) would be good for reviews, because the game can change since someone reviewed the game. Even old games have revision (Rev 1, Rev 2, like in the No-Intro notation). It is not a particularly needed data point, but some games change a lot with time.

  9. 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.

  10. At times editors can realize an important bit of information was missed or forgotten after selecting Update Game. If the editor selects Edit again before their previous update has been approved. Several parts of the update appear to inconsistently display the recently entered data, while others do not. Many of these edits also will not change, even if re-edited prior to an Approval being confirmed by Admins.

    Examples:
    - Franchises do not save
    - Removing Platforms from various Release Dates, Companies and Age Ratings do not save
    - Removed Companies continue to display
    - Previously added Multiplayer Modes do not…

  11. A list of mods could be shown as toggable to not mess with the layout of the page, since some games have an extensive mod library (I'm looking at you Super Mario World and Super Mario 64).

  12. take this json response for example:

    {
                    "id": 3183491,
                    "uid": "1725510",
                    "external_game_source": {
                        "id": 1,
                        "name": "Steam"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "id": 214838,
                    "uid": "678950",
                    "external_game_source": {
                        "id": 1,
                        "name": "Steam"
                    }
                },
    

    this is Dragon Ball FighterZ, if we expand external_games, we can see there's 2 entries for Steam, but only the second one is valid (and some games, like Street Fighter 6, only the first one is valid).

    I suggest a field status or something, that indicates this entry does not lead anywhere, like that:

    {
                    "id": 3183491,
                    "uid": "1725510",
                    "external_game_source": {
                        "id": 1,
                        "name": "Steam"
                    }
                },
                {
    …

  15. Greetings.

    I would have liked to suggest a new category for twitch.
    I'm only an amateur streamer, starting my journey through broadcasting and I was surprised to see no category exists for flashgames, or really small indie games in general.

    I think flashgames are an important part of the ecosystem and I would have liked to be able to showcase it during my lives.

    Would it be possible to add it to the list?

    I think "Flash games" as a name would be perfect.

    what do you think?

  16. Hi! A lot of indie games gets released first on Newgrounds, usually as the only platform. It would be very useful to add Newgrounds to the "Store Links" section of IGDB for all the developers that releases their games on that platform.

  19. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is currently pulling the description and cover art for the the 2026 remake on past broadcasts, highlights, and clips.

    As The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a remake slated for release in 2026, there are two entries on IGDB bearing the same title:
    https://www.igdb.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time
    https://www.igdb.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time--1

    While both entries appear as categories on Twitch, since they share the same title, it appears past broadcasts are defaulting to refer to the most recent entry on IGDB.

    Oddly, live broadcasts are showing up with the cover art for the original game, but the corresponding…
