new genres could be :
MiniGames (like tetris, compilations or as part of a game like in Final Fantasy )
Dating Sim (basically the principle of gaining influence, friendship, love or something similar through your decisions like answering to a special question (persona) general behavior (never winter nights) or through some actions (GTA San Andreas gaining girlfriends))
Jump & Run (obvious, klonoa for example)
Remake (obvious, it's debateble whether simple platform ports like Grandia 2 count I personally would say NO^^) though this is more of a category XD and would only be usefull if declaring more than one genre is supported
Sidescrolling (like mario on snes or Gradius V on PS2 mostly 2d games but some are 3D) this too usefull with more than one genre
MMO (obvious and probably not worth the time since NA only supports like 5 or 6 titles but in case japanese people use this wiki as well )
and I'd change fps into shooter as shooter is more flexible GTA is a shooter but not a FPS and Gradius V is a space shooter/sidescrolling but not a FPS KabooZ 11:50, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Minigames can still be stored as Arcades. They'll be scarce enough to fit in one screen. Though I can add it if you disagree.
- NWN is a dating sim?! 8-O :). Oh! I've got it! There're real dating sims on PS2, like hentai text anventures. Unfortunately most of them only available in Japanese. Well they are adventures btw, maybe stick to adventure category?
- Jump & Run can also be categorized as Arcade? Why not?
- Hmm.. Remake is dufficult. Old arcades in a compilation still are arcades, aren't they? Maybe 'Compilation' is a better category name for it?
- MMO is OK to add (there aren't so many, though), I'll do it.
- FPS -> Shooter, I second it, too. Will change it a bit later.
I understand that it is a fun to categorize games extensively (like imdb.com's Plot Keywords). We can do it, why not? Than again -- will it be useful or funny to have it?
Currently there are too few people here to make a discussion, so we have to do it without the others. --Ngng 12:38, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
