Forums - Website Topics - Can't add games to my "Owned Games" list.

I've been having a very weird issue for the last 4 months or so, that I can't add some games to my "Owned Games" list, but some games are completely fine. I seem to remember that you aren't able to add games as owned games if they haven't been released yet, but that isn't the issue here. I can't add Ninja Gaiden III, which has been out since March, and I can't add my recently purchased Lollipop Chainsaw or New Super Mario Bros. 2. However, adding Theatrhythm Final Fantasy went completely fine. Any idea why this issue occurs?

It's very frustrating for me, too. I used to update my list without fail. I really liked looking at my collection via the app on this site. I guess I'm ADD when it comes to my games. Now, I don't even feel like a man.



Yeah that was taken down with the old gamrreview database... it was still up in the background for a while (only links to it from VGC were through the "Around the network" links below the comments on a games sales page) which is how I managed to add Wii Fit and Nexus to my collection a couple of months ago, but since then links are now redirected to the new gamrreview site or gamewise.

EDIT: wait... you managed to add some games but not others? I would think the only way to add a game to your collection now is to have already had it in your wishlist section... otherwise where did you find the button to add it to your collection?



I temporarly put them in my wishlist instead.



Aren't they removing the game collection from this site? I remember seeing a post by ioi stating that eventually there will be no more game collection. After I read that I never bothered updating my collection.

I've been able to add games just fine. The only hard part is finding them. Just don't add via the 'my games' tab. You have to search for the game first in the game library.

I think you can't add games that were released in the past few months.

So where exactly are you going to add the game?

It doesn't matter when the game released if I search for it I get taken to the VGC sales database, which doesn't have anywhere to "add game" to my collection.

Go to "My Games" and then you can search the database for a game. Most recent games can't be added to "My games" but you can add them to "Wishlist" or "Tracked".

odd. I know I added Majora's Mask only a week or so ago and I am pretty positive I searched for it via the top search bar which took me to the older game landing page where you just click the 'add' button to add it to owned.

I'm positive I didn't do it through my games....
