Mighty Switch Force is coming to Wii U's eShop as Mighty Switch Force HD

Razputin -> Raz

Hyun-ae -> The Pale Bride

Soul of the Ultimate Nation add "SUN".

Thank you.

Steve Feak - Guinsoo

Explanation: Feak is predominantly known by this name, ever since he created DotA: Allstars.

Kendrick Lim - Kunkka

Explanation: The character called Kunkka was created as an homage to the work Lim did on DotA and now, Dota 2.

Two new aliases for 3DO console it was also called REAL and 3DO REAL Interactive Multiplayer.

Razputin -> Raz

As typing "Raz" will already bring up Razputin, I see no need for this alias.

If true this means that Kunkka and Lim do not in fact share the same name and that this alias would be inappropriate.

Apart from that, done up to here.

http://www.giantbomb.com/phantom-air-mission/61-16753/ , known in the US as "Turn and Burn: The F-14 Dogfight Simulator".

@hydao: Done.

http://www.giantbomb.com/serpent/61-38932/ >>> alias "Kakomun Hebi". thanks.

Clear Save should probably have the aliases "post-game content" and "after the end", since it's somewhat difficult to find without them.

added those. I think you should be able to edit concept aliases yourself.

@DeF:

Right. I completely forgot about that.

The SNES game NCAA Basketball was named "World League Basketball" in Europe and "Super Dunk Shot" in Japan.

NFL QB Club 2001 -> alias: NFL Quarterback Club 2001

NFL QB Club 2002 -> alias: NFL Quarterback Club 2002

NFL Quarterback Club -> NFL QB Club

@Gamer_152: That's not the rationale, though. His alias is "Kunkka", which IceFrog based the character off of. What's the issue with that?

Transmission Games -> IR Gurus Interactive Pty Ltd.

F1 -> Formula One

Extreme-G 2 -> XG2, Extreme-G: XG2

Dan McRae -> Daniel Macre

Can someone create an alias for Space Interceptor (http://www.giantbomb.com/space-interceptor/61-6185/) called Project Freedom? This is the European name for the same game.

Could someone add the following aliases to these games?

Abarenbou Princess: "Princess Abarenbow" and "Rowdy Princess"

Clock Tower: The First Fear: "Clock Tower"

Clock Tower: "Clock Tower 2"

Shikigami no Shiro: Nanayozuki Gensoukyoku: "Castle Shikigami: Fantasy of the Seven Moon Night"

Wonder Project J: Kikai no Shounen Pino: "Wonder Project J: Mechanical Boy Pino"

Wonder Project J2: Koruro no Mori no Josette: "Wonder Project J2: Josette of Corlo Forest"

Thank you!

Anya Jenkins needs an alias for Anyanka

Rupert Giles needs Ripper as an alias

For Maureen Corley, I'd like to ask that Mo Corley be added as an alias.

http://www.giantbomb.com/poker-1/61-35051/ Poker 1 should have the alias Poker III 5 in 1.

Clock Tower: The First Fear: "Clock Tower"

That is unnecessary as Clock Tower already is included in the title with the subtitle. The database allows for user to search for games with or without subtitles and adding an alias without the subtitle will have no major impact on its appearance in the search engine.

That aside all requests up to this point have been processed.

@ZombiePie: I'll keep that in mind in the future. Thank you.

http://www.giantbomb.com/rally-challenge-2000/61-36714/ Rally Challenge 2000

I would like to add an alias for the Japanese title:

Rally '99

Worth noting that the Japanese game came out 10 months earlier, and had some minor differences, but not enough to warrant a separate game page. Also, I dunno if the official title in Japan was in English like that, but it displays the English text more prominently on the label. I can't find the Kanji anyway.

/dangan-ronpa-kibou-no-gakuen-to-zetsubou-no-koukousei/61-33341/ (Dangan-Ronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei)

I want to add both "Dangan Ronpa" (without a hyphen) and "Danganronpa" as aliases.

The game has no official English title, and various publications (including from the development studio itself) spell it in all three different ways. The small western fandom community that formed around the title lately seems to have settled on the two words without a hyphen version, and unfortunately the game is unfindable on GB when searching the title spelled that way.

Ultimate Beach Soccer -> Pro Beach Soccer, X-treme Beach Soccer

International Karate + -> IK+, Chop n' Drop, International Karate Advance

Shuttle -> Shuttle: The Space Flight Simulator

Word Pirate -> Pirate Princess.

Published reviews refer to this title before its name change. Materials on the developer website have both names but favour Word Pirate.

All requests up to here have been processed.

Sorry for bringing this up, considering it's almost certainly come up before, but is there a policy to not add Charlie Tunoku as an alias for the Persona 4 Protagonist? If so why? This is the name I know him by.

@Hunter5024: Pretty sure it used to be there.

@Hunter5024: Names that are not official, like those created during endurance runs, are not allowed as aliases, though, yes, Charlie Tunoku was an alias for the P4 Protagonist page at one point. A bunch of new aliases for Chrono Trigger characters popped up during the CR endurance run, but they were removed as well. It raises questions, that. Normal users can't add aliases to character pages, so someone mod-level or higher must have been responsible.

Because it's not an official name in any capacity. The character is not referred to by this name in any official media licensed by Atlus.

Sean Reiley needs the alias Seanbaby, since that's what he's more commonly known as. In fact, it says as much on his page.

@Video_Game_King: I'm surprised you would suggest this rather than deleting it in favor of your Seanbaby page.

You know what? Let's do the opposite of this. Delete the other Seanbaby page, as my Seanbaby page is more detailed.

I believe it's gone back and forth a little, but what Hailinel said represents the current position on it.

Angel

-> Angelus

-> Liam

@Gamer_152: Hmm well I suppose I understand why people don't want it there, but at the same time I feel like including it would only make the wiki easier to navigate. Thanks for explaining everyone.

Now that Fire Pro Wrestling has its official titie, the alias seems redundant. Please remove.

(It's connected to the Famestar page, and Wreckateer was also given the same "featuring" tagline. Seems like they'll all have it until the novelty wears off.)

Gabe Newell is quite often lovingly referred to by his shortened name used in his email, "Gaben." I think that should be an alias.

T-72: Balkans on Fire! -> Iron Warriors: T72 - Tank Command

Great Invasions -> Great Invasions: The Darkages 350-1066 AD

Power Boat GT -> Aquadelic GT

Could someone add the following alias to this game?

SOS: "Septentrion"

Thank you!

Also just a quick note, Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of time's title should be just Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time since that is what the official English title is. Also the "t" in Time is not capitalized.

Thanks again.

Can somebody change the name "Layla" to "Aisha" and add Layla as an alias? Aisha is the official name used now, Layla was a name that was used by an old dub, but the current dub and official name is Aisha.

Yo whatever, that's what practically everyone on this site knows him as. I'd like to think that the Wiki is not "serious business" enough that we're allowed to have a couple in-jokes in there as aliases. You're really going to tell me that fucking Door Guy, a chat in-joke from this year's E3 livestreams, is acceptable as an alias but Charlie Tunoku isn't?

Not to mention Dave Lang's ''Klepek's Hype Man'' alias. Either Charlie should be added, or there'll need to be a massive sweep removing all of the other aliases strictly related to Giant Bomb. I don't need to remind anyone that the whole point of aliases in the wiki is to of course allow an easier time for people to search for stuff, and given Charlie Tunoko's reverence within the site, it makes sense if only for that added bit of accessibility.

Okay, no need to get worked up here. I only said that was the site's current position, I didn't say that people couldn't argue otherwise or that we wouldn't consider renaming the page. I'm planning to talk to the other wiki mods about it anyway and am free to hear whatever arguments the community wants to input until then.

@Gamer_152: Sorry, seems like my pith came off as anger; wasn't my intent.

@Hailinel said:

@Yummylee Then the joke aliases should be deleted.

Why? What possible benefit does removing joke aliases have? It doesn't make the wiki seem more "serious;" it in no way affects the content of the actual pages; and it doesn't affect the fact that this is already a pretty jokey wiki filled with ridiculous concepts and describers for things. Honestly, what is the difference between having a joke alias and calling one of your concept pages "Dear Diary, today I turned into a zombie"? What is the point of making this stand except to make it?
