does the "fantasy western" genre have anything at all in it besides the wild arms series, the boktai series, and the latter half of the mistborn series?

@Felthry i found a wikipedia page about the Weird West genre. there aren't as many games in the article as other mediums, and Boktai isn't mentioned though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_We

@windyorigami ah, seems it is a bit of a thing! didn't know fallout new vegas was western-themed. also didn't know red dead redemption was anything but a standard spaghetti western

seems it doesn't mention the latter half of the mistborn series either. and, hm, could the dresden files be considered western at least in tone? it's been a long time since we read them but we seem to recall them having that sort of feel to them

@Felthry it's fine! i like hearing folks gush about things they like!
