Yah, turn based fighting makes it an RPG. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is an RPG. Pokemon is an RPG. This page has a good discussion of what RPG means: http://www.rpgfan.com/editorials/old/1998/0007.html
Action isn't really a category, it's more of a "I don't know what else to call it right now." Games where you just go around and shoot things are Shooters. Gradius would be an example, Ikari Warriors is another.
The category system probably needs some refinement. I honestly only added it because the main page had a place to show it. | Reply |
