Forums - Gaming Discussion - What genre(s) do you think deserve more love?

Niche, niche, niche. I keep seeing that word get thrown around all the time as a counter to any hopes of it selling remotely well, no matter how good it is.

I'm sure we have our favorites that we want to be more popular, so we could have imagine I put something worthwhile here that appeals to you.

Well, my choices? shmups, and SRPGs. The former because I'm a big fan of shmups that don't require ultra-fast reflexes (mainly the Touhou Project), the latter because it's a confluence of two for my favorite genres.

RTS on the new gen. consoles.



Don't copy random editorials.

VNGs like Zero Escape, Danganronpa and Ace Attorney, though there aren't many of them. They rarely get considered for localization, and even when they do, it takes years :/ They also require a lot of reading, which is an activity many seem to fear more than hot coals pressed against your balls.



Exploration games.
