Template:Release

This is a template for slotting in the release dates for the various countries and regions of the world, which are represented by their flags. If no date is available for a specific region, do not insert that region into the template. As an example, to insert the release date from the United States of America into the template, simply put the name of the region (in this case, abbreviated as "USA") to employ the American flag, and then type the release date:

{{releasedate|USA|Release date here}}

This creates:
Template:Releasedate

For any other region to be inserted, put that region's name in the flag slot. Multiple regions can go into a single template, with the regions with the earliest release dates coming first. For example, to have both the American and Japanese release dates represented, in a situation where the game was released in the USA before Japan, type in:

{{releasedate|USA|American release date here|Japan|Japanese release date here}}

This creates:
Template:Releasedate

• Australia
• Belgium
• Brazil
• Canada
• China
• Republic of China (type "ROC")
• Hong Kong (type "HK")
• Europe
