• Hey Famiboards, Episode 5 of the Famiboards Discussion Club is now live! WestEgg, Irene, and VolcanicDynamo discuss the WONDERFUL Super Mario Bros. Wonder! Check it out here!
  • Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

Discussion One Game Per Gaming Genre (no bundles)

You are able to build the console of your dreams but the only caveat is having only 1 game per genre what do you pick? Note: 2D and 3D versions of the same genre are counted separately.

As for me:

Turn Based RPG: Golden Sun Dark Dawn
3D Platformer: Mario Odyssey
2D Platformer: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Rogue Like: Dark Cloud 2
Real Time Strategy: Command and Conquer Tiberian Dawn
Action RPG: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Sports: Mario Golf
Survival Horror: Resident Evil 4
Arena Shooter: Splatoon

Add more genres than that I listed if you so wish.
