Three games that are individually complete but are closely related in theme or sequence
Turn-based games divide game actions into distinct parts, called turns. This gives the player time to strategically choose actions as the battle or events unfold.
A powerful weapon often found near the end of the game that is significantly more powerful than other weapons. It can also be the last weapon in an RPG game that does drastically increased damage compared to previous weapons.
An unbeatable enemy is just that, an enemy you can't beat or destroy. It's best to just run away from them.
Video games contain a lot of activities for players to do underwater, from exploration to combat. Sometimes games treat water as simple low gravity movement, while other games treat underwater more realistically.
An additional difficulty level that becomes unlocked after meeting certain criteria, such as beating the game or dying many times in the same area.
Extra objects, characters, or content in a game that can only be accessed after completing a certain task such as completing the game, or by using cheat codes.
A stance or movement by a video game character celebrating a current accomplishment.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
A video game protagonist's enemies come from more than just the Animal and Mineral kingdoms. P-O'd plants have been battled by everyone from plumbers to the undead.
The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
"Vore" is an internet term for a sexual fetish for the act of a creature swallowing someone else whole while they are still alive. The act is also seen in many video games, in a decidedly less sexual manner.
The most common enemy in the Kirby universe, they are the equivalent to Goombas from the Mario universe.
The one-eyed cousin of the Waddle-Dee from the Kirby universe.
Warping allows the player to take a shortcut, bypassing part of a game.
A level that takes place either in or near water.
This is a place of special vulnerability. Particularly used in boss fights or when simply fighting Giant Enemy Crabs that cannot be defeated by usual means.
Variable and dynamic simulation of weather conditions can be used to add variety, atmosphere (a rainy day in an RPG) and/or challenge (rain on the racetrack in a driving game) to a game.
Marine mammals that can grow to be among the largest animals on earth. Whales are sometimes hunted for their meat, oil, and ambergris; this has left many species seriously endangered.
Wii and Wii U games that can be played using the Classic Controller (Pro).
Wii U games supporting the Pro Controller either in addition to or as a replacement for the Wii U GamePad.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
While piledrivers, clotheslines, and suplexes might seem at home in wrestling games, many professional wrestling moves have found their way into other video game genres. Brawlers and fighting games are commonly home to these moves, with Mike Haggar's piledriver being a classic example.
