==Syntax==

Line 6:

;JP=''date'': Japanese region release date.

;NA=''date'': North American release date.

;PAL=''date'': PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: '''EU=''date''''': European release date, '''AUS=''date''''': [[Australasia]]n (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)

;PAL=''date'': PAL region release date. (or, if they differ: '''EU=''date''''': European release date, '''AUS=''date''''': [[Wikipedia:Australasia]]n (Australia and New Zealand) release date.)

;INT=''date'': [[International version]] release date. '''See link to make sure you know what an ''international version'' is.'''

;INT=''date'': [[Wikipedia:International version]] release date. '''See link to make sure you know what an ''international version'' is.'''

If it is desirable to list release dates in a specific order (e.g. chronological), specify each region with a separate call.

~~Use {{Tl|Start date}} for the ''earliest'' of the dates only.~~

~~===Alternate syntax===~~

~~'''Using two parameters'''~~

~~'''<nowiki>{{vgrelease</nowiki>''' | ''<nowiki>[[region]]</nowiki>'' | ''date'' '''}}'''~~

~~;region: Wikilinked region name. For brevity, should be formatted as a piped link, e.g. ''<nowiki>[[Japan|JPN]]</nowiki>'''.~~

~~:*It is also possible to combine multiple regions in this parameter, for release dates which are the same between several regions -- e.g. ''<nowiki>[[Europe|EU]] / [[North America|NA]]</nowiki>''~~

~~;date: Release date (should not be wikilinked). Use {{Tl|Start date}} for the ''earliest'' of the dates only.~~

~~'''Using three parameters''' (for backwards compatibility)~~

~~'''<nowiki>{{vgrelease</nowiki>''' | ''region'' | ''ID'' | ''date'' '''}}'''~~

~~;region | ID: Name and abbreviation for the region (Japan, North America, etc.) to which the release date applies. This is essentially the same format as a piped link, minus the surrounding brackets.~~

~~;date: Release date (should not be wikilinked). Use {{Tl|Start date}} for the ''earliest'' of the dates only.~~
