As I explained in the article:
"Continuing with the series of best anime games, this list comprises titles based on manga or the anime of the game. Additionally, titles that went on to receive an anime, manga or a light novel adaptation are also qualified to appear on this list. However, games with an anime style that have no relation to a manga source or anime will not be included on this list."

Personally, It's confusing to call these titles "anime games" without having any connection with any source material. It's better to call them anime-styled games to clear any confusion.

Edit: the only exceptions here are Senran Kagura and Catherine since they've gone on to receive a manga adaptation. Hmmm, Clannad too since it's based on the manga. Other than that, these all fall into the anime-styled category :)

Yui_Suzumiya397d ago

Yeah but tons of those titles received anime adaptations.

The Grisaia Trilogy
Clannad
Steins;Gate
Chaos;Head
Chaos;Child
Island
Senran Kagura
Persona 4
Persona 5
Witch on the Holy Night
Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue
Nekopara
Little Busters!
Danganronpa

Or do you mean the opposite where it was an anime that got a game adaptation? There's very few examples of that such as Danmachi, Miss Kobyashi's Dragon Maid, Made in Abyss, Summer Time Rendering and theres around four Quintessential Quintuplets visual novels that sadly never got an English localization.

@yui-Suzumiya

Yes, that's what I meant. Anime shows that received a game adaptation. However, looking at the scarcity of some of them, I also included video games that eventually received an anime adaptation. E.g Monster Hunter Stories 2, .Hack GU, NieR Automata, Tales of Vesperia..etc. Frankly, I wasn't even aware of a Nekopara or Senran Kagura anime until you mentioned it. I was aware of a manga, though.

" and theres around four Quintessential Quintuplets visual novels that sadly never got an English localization."

Doesn't matter! If they're good, they're worth the mention (and to be played too if one can understand anything...). Thanks for the suggestions there, btw. My hope is to make the ultimate anime games list out there!

darthv7258d ago

Lego games are always fun... and that is one I had not played before.

isarai58d ago

It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus

Kyizen57d ago

I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.

StormSnooper57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.

jznrpg58d ago

Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.

phoenixwing57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely

DarXyde57d ago

Definitely give Midnight Suns a download if you've got Plus.

It's great.

phoenixwing47d ago

I agree midnight sun's is fun

Eonjay58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.

LucasRuinedChildhood57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.

I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.

Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

SonyStyled57d ago

The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog

LucasRuinedChildhood57d ago

I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).

It's Time We Get A Dragon Ball Game Based On The Original Anime

The success of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's DLC 5 opens the door to exciting possibilities for a Dragon Ball game based on the original anime.

ZeekQuattro213d ago

I'd buy it. The last time I played a Dragon Ball era game was on the DS so its been quite a while.

Becuzisaid213d ago

It's time first that the show is remastered and released on Blu-ray.

Yi-Long213d ago

I’d love a proper Dragon Ball (original series) adventure game. I always preferred the focus on humor and adventure and grounded fights, over the epic scale of endlessly more powerful enemies and bigger fights in DBZ.

I’d also love a cool Dr Slump game, although I’d assume you should just make that one of those ‘summer’ games in which you’d just have Penguin Village and that’s simply your playground with lots of stuff to do, collect, build, and plenty of ridiculous mini-games.

LiViNgLeGaCY213d ago

There's actually an English patched Dr Slump game on the PS1!! Or maybe you knew that, and meant a new game. Lol.

FinalFantasyFanatic213d ago

An action/adventure game of DB would be fun as, even if they vaguely make it like BoTW (when you think about it, it could work pretty well), and they have plenty of material they could use as well.
