This template is used in conjunction with {{Infobox video game}} to summarize release date information for video game articles.

Syntax

Using named parameters

The following parameters may be specified to display release dates for multiple regions in a single call (however, they will not be sorted in any particular order):

JP=date

Japanese region release date.

NA=date

North American release date.

PAL=date

PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: EU=date: European release date, AUS=date: Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)

KO=date

South Korean release date.

SA=date

South American release date.

INT=date

International version release date. See link to make sure you know what an international version is.

If it is desirable to list release dates in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each region with a separate call.

Alternate syntax

Using two parameters {{vgrelease | [[region]] | date }}

region

Wikilinked region name. For brevity, should be formatted as a piped link, e.g. [[Japan|JPN]]'.

• It is also possible to combine multiple regions in this parameter, for release dates which are the same between several regions -- e.g. [[North America|NA]] / [[Europe|EU]]

date

Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)

Using three parameters (for backwards compatibility) {{vgrelease | region | ID | date }}

region | ID

Name and abbreviation for the region (Japan, North America, etc.) to which the release date applies. This is essentially the same format as a piped link, minus the surrounding brackets.

date

Release date (may be wikilinked for date formatting preferences)
