I don't know about any other puzzle games, but I was thinking of Captain Toad, that is definitely like a platformer.

No, they shouldn't ignore games that weren't developed by Nintendo. But by going for PS/Xbox they would get many many more 3rd party games than what is available on Wii U. So for anyone looking for a new console, if they don't like Nintendo's games then a PS/Xbox would be a better choice.

I said those genres were linked and that party games were like a mish-mash of other genres. I stand by that.

Underlined you are so close to understanding. Bolded you keep doing it again.

Captain Toad is "like a platformer" inasmuch as it requires you to have an awareness of your position in a 3D environment. There isn't any actual platforming in it. Pushmo has some actual platforming, but it's such basic and straightforward platforming that I would be only hesitantly call the game a puzzle/platformer if pressed. Captain Toad I would not call a puzzle/platformer.

You know, I don't think you've actually played Wii Party or Game & Wario, and that's why you refuse to commit to a genre for them. VGChartz has a "misc" genre, so how about we settle on that?
