== PAL release ==
This title has a mysterious PAL region release that I can't quite pin down. I was about to make [[GHNP71]] as a speculative ID before I realized that there's some deep seated discrepancies with the data about this game. GameTDB's covers for [http://art.gametdb.com/wii/coverfullHQ/EN/GHNX71.png?1336648582 GHNX71] and [http://art.gametdb.com/wii/coverfullHQ/US/GHNE71.png?1317736860 GHNE71] both say Interplay on them, so Interplay released the game in both regions; and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Interactive#Games Wikipedia's] list of games published by Virgin doesn't list this game. I can buy that, but not only does [http://www.gamefaqs.com/gamecube/914447-hunter-the-reckoning/data GameFAQs] say that it had a PAL release published by Virgin Interactive, but [http://www.gamespot.com/articles/hunter-the-reckoning-goes-gold/1100-2895775/ GameSpot] even wrote an article naming both companies as co-publishers.
If I had to guess, what's going on here is that Interplay published the game in the states, and Virgin published the game in PAL, somewhat simultaneously; then, sometime later, Interplay came back and republished it in EU themselves after Virgin went out of business. This would also explain why [[GHNX71]] is an "X" region ID. The missing ID therefore would be GHNP__, where __ is the publisher code for Virgin Interactive, which I don't know (possibly VP, but that's Virgin Play's code; Virgin Play was the Spanish branch of Virgin Interactive and probably has its own publisher code as it seemed to run independently). - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 06:34, 7 December 2016 (CET)
The only PAL covers I can find for the game indicate Interplay as the publisher, so reverting to just using that for now unless we can find specific evidence of a Virgin release under GHNP??. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 07:36, 7 December 2016 (CET)
:I started looking into this again and apparently, my eyes turned Vivendi Universal into Virgin Interactive in the GameSpot article... though they do list Virgin as publisher in the little infobox in the bottom right of the [http://www.gamespot.com/hunter-the-reckoning/ primary page] for the game. That and GameFAQs are the only two legitimate sources that back this up, and I couldn't find a cover either, so my new theory is just that one source made a mistake and others copied it. The X region will continue to bother me though. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 04:57, 8 December 2016 (CET)
