* Dates and serials are representative placeholders — fill with your verified data.  
* “NostalgiaBase Link” points directly to the corresponding item entry on your own database (e.g., `nostalgiabase.com/item/xxxx`).  
* You can easily append new rows for additional consoles as they are catalogued.
