Space Shmup/Flight Simulation Hybrid: Star Fox
Non-Space Shmup/Adventure/Platformer Hybrid: Metroid
FPS/Adventure Hybrid: Metroid Prime, Geist
RTS/Sim (Growing) Hybrid: Pikmin
RPG/Sim (Growing) Hyrbid: Pokemon
RPG: Pokemon, Fire Emblem, MOTHER

*Keanu Reeves voice* No. I won't believe it. It's not possible.

But seriously, yeah, I suppose it's pretty cool to see a list of all the genres Nintendo's tackled, but does anybody really doubt their diverse and innovative spirit?

Also, someone please make a game called Sim Growing.

'Kay.

SIM GROWING! Type E and grow the Sim! The objective is to grow the Sim! If you grow the Sim then YOU WIN! But, you have to be the first person to type E. So...
GAME START!

We're trying to compile the ultimate online database of Nintendo game genres, duh.

Koopa, are you the only person that honestly gives a crap?
Also, I think I rigged this thing myself. All that can go on the list is some Japanese only exclusives, so I need someone to help me with those.
