Canvas is just a drawing surface. Virtually any old 2d game can be written using Canvas / JS.

Certainly; so the JavaScript is the interesting part. In a sense, though, because Canvas helps make the browser a platform, writing a game in JavaScript and outputting to a Canvas is closely connected to the overall purpose of many new features of HTML5, and emerging APIs not contained in the actual HTML spec.
