A question.

I'm curious about what ノリ mean in the following image (next to ジャンル), I know it reads "nori" but I really have no clue what it's supposed to mean.

The fact that it is written with katakana lead me to believe that it was a loan word, but I tried to look it up in a japanese loan word dictionary with little success.

Also, the that the kanji is illegible (at least to me) doesn't help either. Can anyone give me some insight into this?

It just occurred to me that maybe I should've asked this in the following thread instead:

Need a word or phrase translated? | Japan Forum

A moderator may move the above post into that thread if possible.

ノリ感ゲーム is the category of games in which players play intuitively, such as with music, rather than based on rules.
ノリ comes from ノリのいい which refers to something that is exciting, musical, etc., that make you want to move, dance, get involved. I can't define it exactly with one phrase.
ノリ most probably comes from the verb 乗る meaning to ride.
感 refers to feeling, sensation, or intuition.
Hope it helps!

Haha, I wouldn't touch that thread with a 49 1/2 foot pole. Never hesitate to create a new thread to ask any question you have.

epigene: thank you for your help, it's much appreciated.

JimmySeal: .. on the other hand, the forum would become quite messy if everyone created a new thread for every single question they might have.

I'm guessing he just doesn't like long threads.

Having more but shorter threads makes searching them easier, though.

A question.
