Okay, inspired by the release of Pikmin 4, and realizing how many genres they work in, I wanted to gather a list of all game genres that Nintendo has made games in...
If you want to help, that would be great, and you will be added to the list!

How about this oddity, Pokemon Pikachu and Pokemon Pikachu 2 GS? The interesting thing about these two is that they are virtual pets, kind of like a Tamagotchi. Their devices even look like a small Game Boy. These two should definitely be listed as virtual pets.

Pokémon Snap for on-rails shooter

That platformer category covers quite a lot of styles (single screen, 2d side scrolling, 3d, etc)

@Sunsy Good idea!

@Rambler Thanks! And honestly I'm having trouble coming up with any other franchises that do a platformer differently, do you have any ideas about that?

@Professor_Plumber Also the Puzzle-Platformer~ Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker.

Also the Hal Lab series Adventures of Lolo which fall under the same genre.
