Unreleased Games

Should unreleased games that don't have dumped prototype ROMs be covered under the Prerelease namespace or avoided altogether? --AquaBat (talk) 23:37, 24 December 2013 (EST)

• Should this wiki page in particular tell people to go to the Lost Media Wiki to report about unreleased games? Julyo (talk) 18:18, 22 January 2018 (EST)

Artwork

...should probably reword this so people don't start dumping all prerelease artwork available, regardless of how irrelevant. West (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Box Art

When are things like box art useful? I can't think of much prerelease material of that sort, but the Pokemon Colosseum US bonus disc cover has an English logo with Japanese brick background. A bit strange considering its own on-disc content uses the final logo. Theclaw (talk) 13:33, 19 October 2014 (EDT)

I'd say yes, if the early box (or even the final one) shows off things that were removed from the final (for example, the original release of Super Mario Bros. 3); shows an element that was removed from the final; or similar to your example has a logo style that is present but unused in the final. -WarioBarker (talk) 22:43, 21 October 2014 (EDT)

Alright, done. I'm not too interested in random promotional art. Lasting long enough to reach mass produced boxes makes it of interest.Theclaw (talk) 02:53, 22 October 2014 (EDT)

Regarding Undumped Prototypes

<devin> i think the main thing is that if a proto is undumped how do we actually verify any of the information
<devin> with released games and dumped protos any user can theoretically get their own copy and access the content 
<devin> but if a proto is undumped then a reasonably savvy person claiming to have a copy can easily pull some kind of hoax with it
