Why do several Nintendo games have arguable genres?

1) It is an action adventure game, with Role-Playing elements. Some would call it a(n?) RPG, but I wouldn't. I checked, OoT is (in Norway) not filed under Rope-playing games. Only under adventure games. I guess you're just making this up, but I won't accuse you of that.

2) It is a First-Person adventure game. That's a genre, no problem.

3) It is a JRPG. You catch the monsters instead of them being people who join your group. Fire Emblem (sort of) does the same thing. If it wasn't for the strategy, that would be as JRPG as it gets.

4) It's real time strategy. It says so on the box.

5) :O You added this. Wii Sports is, as the title inclines, a sports game. It is a non-traditional sports game, but still a sports game. Wait, do you consider tech-demo a genre?

 

Your threads are really improving, aren't they?

Nope but people seem to use that as an excuse to say that Wii Sports isn't the best selling game of all time.

 

 

 But why is that included in the question about what genre it is? You're sending your own thread off topic, in the OP!

Because apparently, tech demo, Wii Sports and Wii Play are used in the same sentence or paragraph.
