Add: Medium type to Games
Topline: Many platforms have different media types e.g. cart, cd, digital, disk, cassette etc. These media types often have different artwork/coverart for a game when compared to each other.
The ask: Provide an endpoint to show cover art and game details per medium per game
Why:
This way we could say: show me games for just this platforms medium and their associated cover art and details e.g. perhaps the CD release was different to the Digital release.
Background:
The Famicom Disk System had a bunch of games, which you’ve got, but the art work and medium - in this case a disk are unique to the platform
Same with game boy and gba
As an example if we look at The Legend of Zelda series (Game ID: 1022) "fields name, platforms.name; where id = 1022;"
We can see the platforms there, but if we do a google image search for just "famicom disk system zelda", we see the images and media are different
Would love this to be a feature! I'm working on a game collecting app and being able to break down a game by medium would give me even more items to collect.
Thank you, love your work!
