It's time to talk about retro games referencing or ripping stuff off.

From Miyazaki's first film, Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro

The game is practically a horror movie reference fest.

That said, I loved the choice for the bosses. I never imagined I'd face Seth Brundle from The Fly in a Famicom game.

That's just generic ancient architecture, it wasn't ripped from some anime.

Final Fantasy also used shit ton of references from mythology and artwork - FF7 had norse myth, FF6 had an European theme, etc.

They are not direct rip offs.

Direct rip offs would be the Pantera and Metallica tunes in Doom.

You guys watch too much anime and only anime. It seems like you have no cultural references beyond that.

Castlevania just ripped generic greek and european architeture. The animes did the same.
Floating islands weren't created for the anime Laputa. Actually, Laputa came from Gulliver's Travels. And floating islands exists even in greek mythology.

Stop believing the world revolves around anime.

Boxart is something different from main game. Everyone knows American boxart was always made on the cheap, so people just traced everything in sight. I mean, Contra boxart is pretty famous for that.

I wish I was so naive like you, never going on Deviantart and looking at picture after picture of traced art until I developed "Tracing Sixth Sense" of sorts.

OP's examples are beyond idiotic, but the idea is interesting.

Here's an actual one. Many of the art assets in Ecco the Dolphin, especially in the prehistoric levels were taken directly from Zedek Burian paintings. Meanwhile the aliens are very clearly modeled after Gieger's work.
