So double platformers... Zelda, is that really not an RPG? I always thought it was. And various unreleased games...

So, with what can actually be found on the Wii U...

Platformer
Arcade Racing
Arcade Fighting
Open-world Adventure (Although I'd still argue Zelda as an RPG...)
RTS
Sports/Party
Fitness

Sure, that may change when some of the other games actually release, but that's it for now.


Ugh, seriously? @Bolded. Zelda is Action-Adventure

 

Now let's set some thing straight. There are sub-genres, and main genres. RPG in itself is a broad term. You have WRPGs and JRPGs, but then beyond that you also have Turn Based, Real Time, Action, and Strategy.

The same can be said about platformers. You have the main ones like 3D and 2D, but that goes deeper. Puzzle-platformers would not be grouped with Captain Toad, because that genre largely consists of games like Braid. You also have Metroidvania games and other games like Mario. 

Much like Shooters. Would you honestly say that a TPS is the same as an FPS?
