For Nintendo SWitch

[mastersuperfan]

My suggestion would just be [SW].

[Latios212]

Currently it's written in as [SWITCH] in the system

[WaluigiTime64]

[NX]

[E. Gadd Industries]

My suggestion would just be [SW].

This seems logical, given the friend code system uses SW to begin all friend codes.

I don't know if this has been answered before, and i don't feel like scrolling through the entire topic to find out (too many pages and no way to search within a topic), but what is the preferred console prefix for mobile apps? and could you maybe add it to the initial post that lists all of the console prefixes so that people don't have to hunt down what the correct prefix is?

[Latios212]

Huh, weird that it's not already there. It's [MOB] and I've edited the OP. (And added [SWITCH] too.)

Also fyi: If you use the search bar within a topic it'll search within that topic.

[drallyowl]

thank you

[ShyYoshiGuy]

Wait, mods can edit messages?

[Maelstrom]

Yep. This has always been a thing.

[ShyYoshiGuy]

Well, I didn't notice. It's cool.

[AmpharosAndy]

Yeah they control ev - I mean mods are the greatest of all beings. They do not edit our messages - help! - Praise latios.

Gonna move a discussion that was going on in the Discord to here:

A user by the name Jhynjhiruu was asking if he could make arrangements for the "Pokemon Mini" console - a Tamagotchi-like mini console from the late 90's/early 00's. This brings up the question of what tags we would put the console under, if any.

Personally, I'm in favor of adding an "Other" tag, but others have suggested a "Microconsoles" tag instead. I'd suggest reading the Wikipedia article on Microconsoles first, since they had a different definition than what I initially thought they were. 

[Latios212]

Couple of things:

The Pokémon Mini should be listed as its own console. (What to abbreviate it as is another question.) Unlike other things like the Tamagotchi and the SNES/NES Classic Editions it has original games released for it. Original titles with their own cartridges and their own music.

I like the idea of having an "Other" category to catch all the other things you're thinking of, but there's a slight problem there of categorizing my company.

oo something i probably have a say in! time to use my Authority

totally would be down for an other category. I just did a lil bit of work on the board today and there were a couple made up tags used for consoles that didn't have one specified here (Commodore is the only one coming to mind rn) but I found workarounds for the few cases that existed. If I'm being honest, the exact specifications of the tags aren't super important, especially in cases like this where we would have very few requests/sheets for those games. At least in terms of the requests board; I know submissions and the site have their own uses but I'm p sure my point still works in those cases.
