While looking at NES box art today I just noticed something that never stood out to me before, every Nintendo game had a tag on it labeling the genre it was helping out the customer make a more informed choice through box art, it's something Nintendo games have distinctly lacked till the Wii and DS.

Tag at the bottom left

Distinct tags for online and what you need/options to play with as far as controllers go and how many players.

A touch generation title which those tags also show up on Wii games of the same nature and now they all have brief descriptions which help buyers out.

To me this helps out everyone from the informed gamer to find out more details to the newer gamers and its just smart marketing on the package itself, its just so odd distinct tags like that seemed to just vanish after the NES.
