Hi, great website. I just joined and stumbled upon something that might be a bug. There seem to be 2 separate entries for "Skylanders: Swap Force". One for 3DS and the other for other platforms. Not sure why they're separate, maybe there's a reason I don't know about. Here are the urls:

The reason is found in the description, if games on different platforms are sufficiently different in gameplay, they get separate entries, with a description to show the difference.

There are several such examples on MobyGames.

Got it, thanks. Actually now I think all of them should be a separate entry, not grouped together. But I'm sure this was discussed here many times already.

There's so many game entries here, a lot of stuff goes unnoticed for ages. I've handled split and merge corrections for entries that are several years old. So if you want to share your reasoning for this one, we're all ears.
