ID 28 is the JP publisher ID used currently for all four Gamecube Kemco-published titles on the wiki: [[Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness]], [[Batman: Dark Tomorrow]], [[Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure]], and [[Rogue Ops]]. Sometimes publishers just use different codes in Japan for some reason, and I can buy that, but these IDs are particularly mysterious to me because I can't confirm them, no GameTDB listing at all. They do exist though, [http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/5/9/0/17590_front.jpg they] [http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/2/1/2/14212_front.jpg have] [http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/9/5/7/14957_front.jpg JP] [http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/2/0/7/53207_front.jpg covers] and [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160818010912/http://redump.org/disc/9323/ they] [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20161104212814/http://redump.org/disc/5468/ have] [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160818005507/http://redump.org/disc/26340/ redump] [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160818024816/http://redump.org/disc/26341/ entries], but since redump uses the four character codes and not the six character I can't check the publisher ID. I trust the IDs that are here in any case because [[User:DanbSky]]'s contributions from a quick survey are usually correct and sourced, and seem to come from his own collection, which would explain why they don't exist anywhere else (first time they've been documented). But it's probably worth mentioning that I have no way to check if they're correct or not short of tracking down the disc myself. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 12:44, 16 December 2016 (CET)

== GameID and GameTDB ==
Just a quick note regarding GameTDB and GameIDs. They actually provide a nice inventory file /w all their GameIDs in one spot at the top of [http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/Downloads]. It seems to be a bit easier to do searches in. I can also especially be helpful for identifying titles with multiple releases (i.e. different EU language sets), since they tend to be sequential in the listing.
