Thinking about it, are there even new genres this generation?
I got more twin stick shooters this gen, although I already liked them before. Last year I really got into Splatoon (shooter?), but its more puzzly due to the swimming mechanic (also recently didn't like other shooters like COD BO2 for example).
Ahh yeah, I got a newish genre. I really enjoyed the pictionary mode in Game&Wario during 2014. It was a laugh with family/friends.
