I got some scans from game artbooks. FAQs says scans of anime style game only are ok to post. But as I look at the list I see some games like Resident evil, Metal gear solid, Bloodrayne, Mortal Kombat etc which has a very western look. I can see why games like Final Fantasy , Guilty Gear are allowed but the games l mentioned do not have that "anime" look. So i wanna know on basis you people select the games.

Go by the FAQ, not what you see in the gallery. The original requirement was japanese games but that has since been clarified as japanese games with anime stylings.

Also "you people"?

So by Japanese games , you mean games made by japanese companies? Then, Bloodrayne and Mortal Kombat shouldn't be here coz they are made by US companies.

And you say "games with anime styling". That's where my problem is. I don't see how Resident Evil, MGS have anime styling. They have a more american movie like style to them.

Just to clarify, there was never any anime-stylings requirement. The only requirement is that the game must be of Japanese origin or had significant Japanese collaboration in its development. It was specifically mentioned in the AP Guide in the previous APv4 version but not sure where it went to when the version switch took place.

As for Mortal Kombat and Bloodrayne, we are already aware of that. Take note that these galleries are very old. They were created in the early days of the modern AP (the first time introduction of a gallery to the site) and many rules are still being defined and moderators are still trying to adjust to having to moderate the galleries and its related components (eg: category creation) as well. As a result, some categories were inadvertently let through. Mortal Kombat could have been stereotyped as "any fighting game that has ninjas and Asian influences must be from Japan".

Ok. Got it. Thanks for explaining it.
