That thread is the opposite of this thread. It’s about game systems featured in Anime.

Azumanga Daioh Advance and Yugioh Stairway to Destined Duel are great. Better than 80% of what gets discussed on /vr/.

Most of the anime licensed games are bottom-of-the-barrel, late-in-console-life stuff. I've played probably short of 200 of those games by now, and besides 20 or so, the rest all suck. And there isn't even some standard like "famous anime get better-budgeted games". No. Even famous series get the trash games.
Anyway, some of the good ones:

- Ghost Sweeper Mikami (SNES)
- Dragon Ball Z Legend (PSX/Saturn)
- YuYu Hakusho FINAL (SNES)
- Hokuto no Ken (PSX) - get the action game, not the pachinko-like
- Area 88 (SNES)
- Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn) - there's a SNES RPG too, but the Saturn one is better

There are even games for more obscure series, but they're rarely good. Examples are:
- Xabungle (PSX). A racing game. Really shit.
- Gunbuster (PC Engine CD). A visual novel. Cute, but infuriating.
- Bubblegum Crisis (PC Engine CD). Starts ok, but they change playstyles like twice.

ugh they are so problematic -_- (thank god we can fix them in translation)

DBZ Budokai

>>6166704
>it's ok officer, she's actually a 100 year old succubus!

Save it pedo. Your going to Hell.

>>6166781
DBZ Legends is good, but there's many other good retro DBZ games, namely Super Butoden 2.

I can't help wonder how received they would be in the US before anime officially caught on over here.

>>6167339
USA was always lagging behind the rest of the world. Latin America has been into anime hardcore since the early 90s, and in Europe since the 80s and maybe late 70s.

>>6166550
>That not anime-based games
Ur try anyway.

>>6166635
>Sega System: The Series
Wasn't actually bad at all, deSu. Had some great animation and a kickass opening theme.

>>6167345
New Zealand got into anime since the early 70s

>>6167345
Obsessed and wrong. We had Superbook and The Mysterious Cities of Gold in the 80s, Gatchaman and some kid shows in the 70s, and some Tezuka shit (such as Astro Boy and Kimba) in the 60s and beyond. That's besides all the USA-exclusive Japanese-produced Christmas cartoons we have had since the 60s.

>>6167345
Scooby-Doo was an anime.

>>6167559
Also Speed Racer since the 60s, significantly.

>>6166541
i gave it 10 years of glops.

Arent all jrpgs anime?

>>6168670
the ones with at least character portraits and tons of exposition

>>6167559
Not obsessed and not wrong.
Yes, Astro Boy was popular worldwide, but USA was still lagging behind, the rest of the world was getting 10x or more the amount of anime on TV.
Superbook was great btw.

>>6168670
I think OP meant anime-licensed games.

Heard the Saturn Rayearth Knight game was really good

What are you doing posting little girls online?
What were you thinking?
That board was for retro video games.

>>6166541
Pretty much the kinds of games that appeal to me on consoles. Sure there are games like Mike Tyson's Punch Out, NBA Jam, Burnout 3, Zombie's Ate My Neighbors, and Tony Hawk's, but retro anime console games were pretty much what appealed to me. On PC, I still really enjoy the anime games there too, but I think they had and equal amount of non-anime games I enjoy there alongside the anime games.

Don't mind me, just posting the GOAT anime retro game.

>>6168965
The console bmup isn't half bad either.
Also Another Story, and the fighting games (S and SuperS).
SM got a bunch of good games.

>>6167382
>Seg systems: the series
If you say so.

>>6169613
Ok newfag. That's a cool series, too, though.

what are the best /vr/ mecha games? they don't have to be based on anime but it would be preferred

>>6169771
That Gundam Wing SNES game is pretty good.

>>6169771
Virtual On and VOOT

>>6169771
Ok, let' see.
- Super Robot Wars series. It's an SRPG series.
- SD Gundam G Gen. Same, but with Gundams.
- VOTOMS has two good games: Lightning Slash and Berserga Monogatari. Both for the PSX. There's also a PS2 game that's phenomenal, but not retro.
- Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken (SNES). The classic. It has clones even nowadays.
- Assault Suits Leynos 1 and 2 (Genesis and Saturn). 1 is rather unpolished (it has a remake for PC/PS4), but 2 is still a really solid game.
- Bulk Slash for the Saturn.
- Gundam Rise from the Ashes for the Dreamcast.
- Geppy-X for the PSX. It's an STG (shooting game). Its main draw is how you can change forms (a la Getter Robo) and its 4 CDs are full of cutscenes, and you can even choose certain pathways for different endings. It's a love letter to the mecha genre. It's not very long.
- Armored Core. An action/simulation hybrid. You really need to play this one carefully, because everything has tradeoffs. You're a mercenary, so you have to pay even for spent bullets in a mission.

>>6169771
There's the Gungriffon games (2 for the Saturn and 1 for the PS2), where you control a mech from a cockpit view.

There's a GaoGaiGar game for the PS1, but it's mostly a bunch of minigames and cutscenes.

There's Metal Combat (SNES). It uses the Super Scope.

>>6169771
Mystical Ninja 64 and Goemon's Great Adventure

>>6169771
Metal Storm if you consider that a "mech game" instead of a platform shooter.

>>6166554

Flying House was superior.

>>6174107
Wasn't old enough when these ran, so when I heard of that one, I kept thinking "Ghibli shit." Looks very kino, especially since it hasn't been soullessly remade like Superbook has.

Np, have fun, and also, someone suggested Metal Warriors for SNES in another thread, which is one of the best mech games for sure. Also, Mega Man X3 for SNES has some great mecha moments, too.

Wasn't this the one where the Japanese side lost the source code and the localizers had to recreate the game from near-scratch?

>anime

nobody outside of japan even knew what anime was until the mid-2000s when internet speeds finally became fast enough to enable international piracy

>>6167660
I'm a huge fan of that anime art style in old retro games. Wish it'd show up more

>>6176657
>underageposting
It was referred to often as "anime" on major TV networks at least beginning in the late 90s.

>>6176657
Most people on this board are too young to remember when Naruto (the first anime) even came out

>>6176657
>nobody outside of japan even knew what anime was until the mid-2000s
That's what you think from your burger perspective. Latin America has been huge into anime since at least the 90s, non-anglo Europe since the 80s.

>>6176764
He's obviously shitposting you dumb socialist. There was shit tons of anime in the US in the 80s and 90s. I used to watch Sailor Moon every morning before school on broadcast television. You could buy box set VHS copies of any series you wanted at just about any video store. Hell, I remember pirating anime over AOL dialup back in the day using FTP and DC.

>>6176764
>That's what you think from your burger perspective. Latin America has been huge into anime since at least the 90s, non-anglo Europe since the 80s.
You already got owned about this, here >>6167559, third-worlder.

>>6176769
>There was shit tons of anime in the US in the 80s and 90s. I used to watch Sailor Moon every morning before school on broadcast television.
Can confirm. I used to watch it every night on UPN in the early 90s. I also remember renting Fushigi Yugi at Blockbuster and being blown the fuck away at how good I thought it was.

>>6176769
I don't think he was shitposting, probably a zoomer who actually believes nobody knew anime in the west before the internet.
>>6176772
And that poster was told here: >>6168718
Also, USA is practically third world in 2020, so whatever, there's very few actual first world countries left, if any.

>>6176783
>USA is practically third world in 2020

confirmed lives in a democrat-ran shithole

>>6176783
>And that poster was told here: >>6168718
All he did was restate his coping bullshit. He didn't refute anything that was said, except for saying "w-well I saw Superbook [later], too!"
>Also, USA is practically third world in 2020, so whatever, there's very few actual first world countries left, if any.
OK third-worlder.

>>6176213
How the hell do you even lose the source code before your localizers get a hold of it?
Were they that eager to delete it from every hard drive in existence the moment the disc presses started running?

Even forgiving companies for not expecting to make ports/remasters twenty years later, a blunder like that defines what haste makes waste means.

>>6176791
>He didn't refute anything that was said
No need to refute anything. Stuff like Astro Boy and Superbook was also in any other country, but stuff like Dragon Ball caught in Europe heavily in the early 90s, and in the mid 90s in latin america. USA had some attempts at making DBZ popular but it didn't happen until the 2000s with toonami. Simple as.
>muh third world
Ok burgers, enjoy your 56% or whatever.

>>6166541
didn't age well - the only way to play them is to wear these

>>6176802
>No need to refute anything. Stuff like Astro Boy and Superbook was also in any other country.
It refuted that the USA wasn't into anime before Latin America or Europe, retard. Also, again, Superbook and Astro Boy were in America long before pooristan.
>stuff like Dragon Ball caught in Europe heavily in the early 90s, and in the mid 90s in latin america. USA had some attempts at making DBZ popular but it didn't happen until the 2000s with toonami. Simple as.
That's a deflection, or possibly a cope. Sorry you had no other anime but DB until the 2000s, I guess.
>enjoy your 56% or whatever.
200,000,000+ whites is more than in all of Europe or Latin America (probably com ined), Poohammad.

>>6176817
>It refuted that the USA wasn't into anime before Latin America or Europe
Having a few shows doesn't mean being "into anime". Anime was already mainstream in places like France and Italy in the 80s. It was show after show after show everyday on TV. Research it, I'm not lying.
>Sorry you had no other anime but DB until the 2000s, I guess.
uh...
>Poohammad.
Enjoy your collapsing empire, burger. You were born just in time to see everything degrade and go to hell.

>>6176821
>Having a few shows doesn't mean being "into anime". Anime was already mainstream in places like France and Italy in the 80s. It was show after show after show everyday on TV. Research it, I'm not lying.
Requantifying like this is moving the goalposts. The fact is is that the USA was watching anime since the 60s, which refutes your kangz claim.
>Enjoy your collapsing empire, burger. You were born just in time to see everything degrade and go to hell.
Ouch, looks like I hit a nerve.

>>6176657
>i'm nobody
Yes. Yes you aren't.

>>6176760
That's true. But 20 years of zoomers being wrong about everything hasn't changed any facts.

>>6176661
Search "pc98" under tags on tumblr

>>6169834
I see you are a /m/an of culture.

>>6176879
>Requantifying like this is moving the goalposts.
USA was definitely lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of anime though. Stuff like Astro Boy, Kimba, Iron Man 28 and others in the 60s and 70s were aired worldwide not just in USA, and nobody was really aware of what "anime" was. As far as most people were concerned, it was just "chink cartoons", unironically.
It wasn't until Toonami started properly airing series in full, including DBZ, that actually made the US care about what anime really is in general, and not just some novelty japanimation like Akira or GITS were.
Although, surely, those helped get people aware about japanese animation more, and a handful of those people back then, in the 80s and 90s, got into anime as a niche hobby, compare this to Europe or Latin America were anime was already a social phenomenon that actually outnumbered western comic fans quickly.
>Ouch, looks like I hit a nerve.
Nah, if we go back to how we started arguing, it was you who got some nerve struck, because I never really said anything bad about USA. "Lagging behind" anime isn't necessarily bad, yet you took it personal and attacked me as a third worlder, etc kek

The Sailor Moon beat em ups are OK. Nothing special but they're definitely not bad for licensed games.

>>6177390
I had the genesis beat em up and the Super S fighter on SNES when I was a kid.
I loved them so much, especially the beat em up, it's one of the most nostalgic games for me.

>>6177375
>zoom zoom
oh you should've said, I could've ignored you to begin with

fuck off /a/

>>6177394
Replied to the wrong post? If you're calling me a zoomer, the reason I know about how USA was lagging behind is because I'm old enough to have experienced the anime boom in my country and I remember when USA was starting to crawl out of the niche and expanding into the mainstream in the 2000s.

>>6177393
I actually had no idea there was one on a SEGA system, I've only played the SNES version and the arcade one on MAME.
I'll have to check that out.

>>6177402
As far as I know, the SNES version has more levels, but the Sega game has more detailed/uncensored transformation scenes. And I'm glad for that, my 10 year old self was really excited to see those.

>>6177397
>zoomopedia reading
it would be better if you left

>>6177402
There's a solid platformer on the game gear too, it even has a fan translation but it's easily playable all the way through without one.

>>6177404
So you basically have no arguments left other than gaslighting me as a zoomer or whatever.
Nice, the argument is over. USA was the last major region in the world to get into anime in a mainstream way.

>>6177418
>gaslighting
>unironically using Tumblr terminology
Yikes. Not even that guy.

>>6177665
had no idea tumblr existed in the 1940s

>>6177672
It didn’t, but that doesn’t change the fact “gaslighting” is their current favorite buzzword.

A lot of them is really shitty, for example just look at FDS library. But those games that good are golden

>>6177678
And? Is Tumblr so important to you that they can dictate your life?

>>6166541
shame that most of them were japan exclusive since amerimutts didnt care about anime yet

>>6177665
As I said, all you can do right now is attack me personally, calling me a zoomer (for whatever reaosn, since basically what I'm saying couldn't be something a zoomer even knows).
But yeah, USA got into anime last. It's neither a good or a bad thing, just a thing, that for whatever reason makes you mad.

>>6177895
I already said I’m not that guy you damn simp.

>>6177926
Yes you are.
Just kidding. Not gonna gaslight you ;)

>>6177943
>;)
Don’t start something you can’t finish.

Anyway, why was USA so late into jumping the anime craze? Was it USAUSAUSA pride and anti-japanese sentiment, or something else?

>>6177959
>He’s still going at it

>>6177375
>Stuff like Astro Boy, Kimba, Iron Man 28 and others in the 60s and 70s were aired worldwide not just in USA
But it was in the USA long before, so again, you're not the kang you're claiming to be. Also, my dad and a lot of other people in his generation loved Speed Racer in the 60s, hence why there was a Hollywood movie made about it a few years ago.
>b-but we called it "ANNA MAY" first! :'((
Okay, anon. Not sure if this is true, but I'll give you this out of pity.
>you called me a third worlder, you burger-perspective bully :'((
Seethe, anon.

Reading some other replies to you, it looks like you're Gen-Z. That explains your Wikipedia-based insecure arguments, I guess.

>>6166635
I don't recognise this anime, can you give me a name?

>>6166635
>>6179276
Nevermind, think I found it. It's called "Zillion", right?

>>6177963
>>6178259
As I said, this is not a competition, there's nothing inherently good or bad about a region getting into anime (in a mainstream, massive way) before another one.
You keep talking about classic anime series that everyone watched, and only a handful.
I'm talking about kids in Italy waking up and seeing anime on TV from morning to evening. This was the 80s. In USA, this didn't happen until the 2000s.

>>6179324
>i wasn't born until the 2000s

>>6179279
Yep. It was basically "Sega Master System: The Series" and it was Production IG's first show, which is why it has great production values.

>>6179324
>As I said,
Where?
>it's not a competition
That's weird, since you began with copeposting "USA was always lagging behind the rest of the world" and then "maybe from your burger perspective." It's okay if you want to back off, but your dishonesty was/is unnecessary.

>>6166541
This was released on steam. Take it to /v/.

>>6179324
>I'm talking about kids in Italy waking up and seeing anime on TV from morning to evening. This was the 80s. In USA, this didn't happen until the 2000s.
This is definitely not true, and there are several examples to the contrary. For example, first run syndication of Pokemon in the USA premiered in 1998, later picked up by Kids WB in 1999.
