Why it matters
Denfami Nico Gamer is building the archive around player memory rather than reviews, and the planned user posting feature is the part that would separate it from the databases it licenses from.
Key Facts
- Denfami Nico Gamer released the game database site GAMES NEVER DIE! on Thursday, November 12.
- The site covers more than 260,000 game titles under a licensing agreement with the overseas database IGDB.
- Work pages list release date, supported platforms, genre, series, and related works, and link with Steam for review scores, concurrent player counts, and sale information.
- Editor-in-chief TAITAI said the service had been envisioned since Denfami Nico Gamer's launch.
- A user posting feature for play memories and in-game records is planned but not yet implemented.
Each work page lists release date, supported platforms, genre, series, and related works, and links with Steam for review scores, concurrent player counts, and sale information.
The site is still under construction, and some information is incomplete. Denfami Nico Gamer says it will accept feature requests and correction suggestions from users and keep improving the database.
Editor-in-chief TAITAI said the service had been envisioned since the outlet's launch. The name expresses the intent to accumulate the memories of people who played games: games can become unplayable through service termination, store removal, or the end of hardware production, but TAITAI argued they do not disappear from players' memories. The planned posting feature would collect play memories and in-game records per work rather than simple reviews or ratings.
