Well.... ya see... This is supposed to be an Anime and AMV Forum. Not a video game forum. And this site isn't just a forum, it's alot more.
I think it would attract unwanted attention from gamers who don't even watch anime or AMVs.

Seriously, the idea is just idiotic.

Maybe a part of the forum for the discussion of anime based and other games made in Japan?
There are alot of people on this site that are into Japanese RPGs and visual noves ,
so i think it would be a neat addition to have a section for them to discuss those games and stuff.
I dunno.

Well... I was kinda thinking he meant Western Video Games. But Anime-related games would be great. I'd love to have somewhere to talk about Visual Novels other than (the oh so confusing) Hongfire.

This would make extra work for the mods because there would more than likely have to be constant supervision about what is and what is not an "anime-related" or Japanese game.

That not hard to judge. You take five seconds to look at the animation style and you check if it's from Japan. And typically visual novels are fine. Hongfire doesn't have much trouble with this despite indulging in piracy, it's just difficult to navigate the site.

It could always work in a similar fashion to the Series Discussion board in that you only get one mod-approved topic for a given game. It'd be a bit more work, but it'd mainly just be a pain in the beginning. Once the forum was decently populated with games there shouldn't be topic requests every 5 seconds.

Though there would be at first.

It would probably work better if people were to submit lists of games rather than a single request. All in all, I think this could really work. I love the idea.

Double post - Though of course I mean you could also submit single requests. It'd be easier if you posted a list. If you check out Wikipedia's list right here (not a full list, only games that have anime of them.)

We could do like with the anime section and have General Games, a Game Discussion, and Game Screencaps sub-sections. Like how recent anime generally get a thread posted in the General Anime section and requests for new threads are rarely made, the thread is simply moved. It's been working fine for a while, but the mods sometimes don't move the thread.

Mods doing their job? *Le-Gasp*

I understand that we don't want to put more work on the mods. I honestly do, but since GMVs made with games from Japan are allowed on this site, there should be a place to discuss them. Technically, following the site's definition of anime, you could just talk about video game in the anime thread. Either way, I like the idea of getting more discussion on games going on because I feel it may help with getting people to make more GMVs on this site. I feel like games are really underused here because there is, naturally, a larger focus on regular anime.

Well nobody talks about games in the anime section because it's just that. An ANIME section. People want to talk about ANIME in the ANIME section so of course people would talk about GAMES in a GAME section.

What you are saying makes sense but you pretty much reiterated the reason for this thread. Which is why it makes sense.
