I was surprised that a MISSING GAMES tab was added on the latest release, I don’t know how you did it but great job! This has made me wonder if you can also pull additional data about the games to be shown on our LIBRARY or MISSING GAMES such as:

I believe all the above data can be pulled off tinfoil and even some by scanning the game file itself. Tinfoil also has a upcoming and recent release list which would be nice to have as well. Also the Nintendo site has even additional info on the games like:

I’m not sure if you can grab any of the data from such sites, but I figured I’d ask. Personally I’m most interested in having a genre column to quickly identify the type of game and possibly some screenshots/trailer along with it (thou a trailer would only work through a link I think).

I’d also like to take this opportunity to ask for, IMO, 2 important info that the app is currently missing, and that is the size of the games and the firmware they run. This would apply for updates and DLCs as well. For MISSING GAMES both tinfoil and Nintendo site have the size information, for games on our library the app can take the info from the game files themselves. As for the firmware I think it can be extracted from the files, but also I don’t know how but nswdb.com has this information, granted that they miss a lot of releases and mostly don’t do updates.

I just want to add that would be nice to show a column on the MISSING GAMES tab with the game corresponding latest update and dlc.
