I would like to request that the platform for this game be changed from NES to FC this game was never released on NES but rather on Famicom

I see that FC platform is some latest update from srcom. I'm not sure, if doing that is good decision, since it's the same console as NES just japanese version and it just happens to have different name. To distinguish between them we had japanese flag next to console for many years. I would wait with that and see how situation develops, since changing game from NES to FC unnecessary splits statistics etc. Few boards added it for now, there is still no platform option like 'Super Famicom' and what about later consoles like N64 or PS1 ? Split will never happen there probably, since japanese counterparts have exactly the same name already. Adding separate console just cause name of the console is different, but console itself is almost exactly the same and it can run basically the same games, is not the best idea (I'm talking here about possiblity of running game through adapters etc , not if it was published in certain region or not, also there are many japanese only N64, PS1, PS2 games etc.). If we follow that trend, then we can split as well Sega Genesis (US name) and Sega Mega Drive (EU name), which is even worse idea. So how it should be implemented in my opinion, since it's already added and probably won't be gone: have NES and FC in every game (doesn't matter if it's japanese or US) , so runner can choose on what version of console he actually played the game (as mentioned you can play japanese games on US console and vice versa) and leave indication of what region of the game was played to the flag as it was.
