I am proposing a new #Wikidata property for the “visual style” of #VideoGames. www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat... Quite proud of that one as it pulls information from community databases, storefronts, Wikipedia, & academic research. #Wikidata #DigiPres #GamePreservation #LinkedOpenData #GameStudies

The alternate form is attested in quite a few resources (MobyGames, UVL, PMH, TGDB, GBDB, VGG…) but yeah I don’t see any evidence that it was used as European title. Seems to me it’s just the form used on the title screen. I raised the question on the talk page :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Yo...
