"Add a review for a different release" doesn't work

I wanted to provide an alternative review for Japanese version of Ace Combat 3, after reviewing the English version, since they are so different.

The link for “Add a review for a different release” seems to be correct:

But once I click on it, I’m redirected to my existing review:

I thought that maybe it’s by design, and once I switch the release it will create a second review, but no, it just edits the original one.

Sorry for the delay in answering here.

That functionality is going to go away because we’re converting over to IGDB’s data source. I did a little bit of work over the last couple of days to convert the reviews editor over to mark which platform a review is for for vs. a “release.” The reason being that IGDB does a good job of breaking things out when need be. In this case, Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere | Grouvee is the Japanese release of the game, and Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere | Grouvee is the US/EU version.

The thing that gets a little wonky is merging our entry into the IGDB entry. I’ll probably merge our current entry into the Japanese IGDB one, but it’s slightly confusing which one to pick sometimes. This is mostly only a problem with older games, but there’s a ton of examples like this that I have to figure out.

Hopefully that answers the question!
