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)

:I didn't know about this, that's cool. I'm gunna have to think about how I'll fit this into my workflow. I think the main site and previous/next IDs feature is a bit more useful for this purpose because of the covers and release info, but ctrl-F on a .txt document is obviously way faster than searches through google's api. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 23:04, 25 February 2017 (CET)

^is this EA's fault or ours? I'm assuming the J69 are mistakes. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 03:22, 4 June 2017 (CEST)
