I don't see anything mentioned in either of the topics that say that clone systems with their own library of games are invalid. With that said, is there any reason why Micro Genius can't have its own sub-category?

Requesting a category for Super Nintendo/Super Famicom demo releases based on 130792 and 22536.

I'd prefer not to add a demo category for that or even individual systems at this time. The only split sub-cat names we have now are in the SMS category and those are set to be looked into in the future.

If there is a good amount of actual demos that are found for either or both systems, we can consider it. For now, we do not need to make a sub-cat just for those as the release type option on the entry already allows for setting the item as a demo.

The category could easily be named Super Nintendo Demo since it would be placed within the Super Nintendo parent category. This naming convention is already set as a (presumed) precedent by how TurboGrafx-CD Demo is named. Although, based on how the parent category is named, it may make more sense for that sub-category to be renamed to something like NEC Demo. While there aren't any PC Engine demo entries currently within the category, I presume they'd be place there if submitted (such as this existing entry.) If not, then this would imply there are to be regional demo categories which I think we both agree should be avoided.

Regarding Super Famicom demos, I've identified two other taikenban cartridges which I've readied new submissions for. Meanwhile, I've identified nine Super Nintendo demo cartridges after a quick image search.
