Console-specific sub-categories
I figure it might be handy to have sub-categories for each of the relevant consoles/hardware (I now seem to recall something about PC versions of games like FF3 and maybe SS2...), for a few reasons: I'm a bit unsure about the notation though - simply name the category with the machine, as with "Mobile"?...

 * it'd make it easier to know what SNK games you have at your disposal for any machine you happen to own or have access to
 * character already have several categories for them - why not a relevant one for the actual games?
 * there are already categories like Mobile anyway...
 * I don't mind really if it's simple like "Neo-Geo games", "Playstation games" or whatever. I'm all for someone making categories separating by the specs the original arcade machine had as well; there's a difference between them that I would like someone to do someday. I just ask that you keep the pachinko, dream matches, and mobile categories as they are because they are hard to categorize as anything else (especially "Mobile" since those are made for various modules of cellphones in Japan). I'm a bit curious how far back you intend to go with this idea though. Are you going to do all of the home conversions (SNES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Game Gear, 3DO, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, ect.) or are you just going to limit it to the more modern ones (Taito Type X2, Atomiswave, X-box Live, ect.)? If you're doing something like that, the categories can be something like:
 * Games converted to consoles <-master category for this within the games section
 * followed by subdivisions of all the consoles
 * Arcade specs <-master category for this within the games section
 * followed by subdivisions of different modules and such


 * I'm also not quite sure what type of audience you're aiming to appeal to with these categories. You say there's PC versions of Fatal Fury 3 and Samurai Shodown II, but is that for America or more abroad like in Taiwan or Korea? In those countries, there are PC conversions for lots of other titles like the ones Mega Enterprise did. I'm also applying this question for all the imports that didn't make it to North America but everyone knows about anyways, like KOF '96~'97 on the Saturn and all of the various Playstation ports. Otherwise, I'm all for the idea. Sake neko 18:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
