IMO, I do not think Japan should be lumped into "Asia" concerning a video game category. If anything, Asia could be handled separately, and treated like the [EU] categories mostly are, where you put the locale in the game title.

And yes, Asia should be handled separately and treated like the [EU] category, but currently there isn't one. For example: Sword Art Online (http://vgcollect.com/item/67915) - people are currently putting Asia version games into the JPN category at the moment because there isn't a category for it.

You are right - Japan shouldn't be lumped into the "Asia"category (if you look at Playstation Network [Asia] - it doesn't include Japan either) - I'm mainly talking about CN/HK/TW here. As stated, countries like Korea & Japan should be separated - since their covert arts will usually be different in some way.

Game categories are typically split up between release countries. Such as:
[CN] China
[JP] Japan
[HK] Hong Kong

Are there games you find that have a wider release that do not fit into these categories?

Mainly talking about Playstation games - there isn't a suitable category for PS vita/PS3/PS4 games yet - unless you put it in JP category - since some games are released as Asia version but in-game language is just like the JPN version - but cover art may be slightly different. Also, a [CN] China version game isn't seen often for Playstation games (I haven't actually seen one yet) - if you go visit the online game stores you would usually see the HK or TW versions (I've only seen subtitles in traditional Chinese - often with multiple languages too) but they are all categorized under ASIA - unless people want to be very specific about the category to put it in, I think CN/HK/TW can all be combined into one category (as Asia category - they are all under the Playstation network in Asia anyways (https://asia.playstation.com/) ). However, it might be good to have a separate category for Korea version games in this case, since their cover art may be slightly different and in Korean language too.
