    ;Parameter descriptions
    *<tt>series</tt>: Used to omit the "Original release date(s)" portion for entries about a whole series of video games. Parameter must be set to "yes" to work.
    *<tt>article</tt>: Used to link the game title to the article's page name; produces a piped wikilink. Should be used even if the game's title and article title are the same.
    *<tt>title</tt>: The game title—required.
    *<tt>date</tt>: The game's release dates. Use {{tlx|Vgrelease}}.
    *<tt>multiplereleasedates</tt>: Specifies if the date has single or multiple release dates. Used to format the "Original release date(s):" caption. Set this to "no" to display "date" or "yes" to display "dates".
    *<tt>canceled</tt>: Used in place of "date" if the game was canceled. List the game's cancellation date.
    *<tt>refs</tt>: Used to provide references for release dates. Will list the <sup><nowiki>[#]</nowiki></sup> next to "Original release dates:", "Cancellation date", or the "platform".
    *<tt>release</tt>: Listing of systems the game has been released on by year—at least one system is required.
    *<tt>platform</tt>: Used in place of "release" if the title is not a video game, but a spin-off title. For example, anime or manga series, radio drama, expansion, etc.
    *<tt>notes</tt>: Any special noteworthy piece of information. (i.e. alternative names, special milestones, etc.) A bulleted listed is recommended.
    ;Other functionalities
    *''linkable'': The template creates a html-anchor, using the title parameter (<tt>title</tt>). (Examples: [[#Harvest Moon|Harvest Moon]], [[#Castlevania: Resurrection|Castlevania: Resurrection]], and [[#Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals|Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals]])
