Beat em ups are a separate genre.

As are run and gun.

Puzzle games.

Racing games.

Also, shooters absolutely count, regardless of there not having been as fuckloaded amounts as on PCE.

Game Sack likes SEGA games, one of the guys in this video says' lol I'm glad I could play this game so I didn't miss not playing Zelda for not having a NES kek" and they mostly talk about non-Nintendo games.

There are more than 50 shmups on the genesis/md dude.

>> No.3792835

>>3790749
Because that's what was popular at the time?
It also had a ton of shoot-em-ups and a fair few beat-em-ups.

>>3791083
Man, it's still weird seeing all of that.

>>3791028
there's more than 5 Toaplan games alone on the machine

>>3791186
even in the US it was pretty strong in that regard, there's only like five or so good shmups we didn't get out of a couple dozen
