Distinction to "Toys to life video games‎"

edit

Can somebody who created this category ("Video games that use figurines") and the "Toys to life video games‎" category clarify what the differences between the two are? As far as I know, all video games currently in the two categories (Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Amiibo, Lego Dimensions, Pokémon Rumble U, Prodigy) have a game mechanic where the toy figurines come to life, right? So wouldn't it be easier if there was just 1 category, "Toys to life video games‎"? Bonomont (talk) 14:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

I created this category, and the toys to life one was created a couple years later. I don't see the need for both. There was no clear organization or criteria for deciding which games/articles were in which category; some were in one or the other, and some were in both. I pointed everything split between the two back to this one for simplicity's sake. —Torchiest talkedits 22:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
