Video games and cartoons are a great combination. If they are done carefully, very satisfactory results can be achieved. For example, the case of Devil May Cry or Netflix’s Castlevania.
Obviously, video game companies should be more experimental in releasing their games as animated movie adaptations. And here are 5 video games that should have a “cartoon” version in the future.
5. Yakuza
The Yakuza franchise has reached a certain level of popularity but what is surprising is that so far SEGA has not decided to release an anime for this title. The setting and characters in the story have been fully expressed to be able to bring us an anime full of suspense, drama and funny moments.
4. The Legend of Zelda
The biggest problem with adapting The Legend Of Zelda series is where to start. The franchise has a lot of compelling story arcs that can be turned into excellent anime if adapted and executed well.
In The Legend Of Zelda, there are many beautiful fantasy lands, charismatic characters with deep storylines. The monsters in this game will also bring memorable battles. Besides, the power system like the elements in the game is also an interesting idea for a fantasy anime.
3. Darksiders
Darksiders would be one of the perfect franchises if Netflix took the helm. The platform has done a great job in adapting the Castlevania universe, managing to perfectly portray the dark game-to-film setting, or the gothic and gory scenes.
With Darksiders, Netflix can also make such interesting things because the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world.
2. Overwatch
Blizzard’s first FPS deserves to regain the popularity it lost for years due to a lack of innovative content and the development team is focused on the next OW2. Blizzard may have missed the opportunity to launch an Overwatch animated version of the product, allowing fans to learn more about the characters and delve into the past of many people.
1. Metal GearSolid
Metal Gear Solid has always been considered one of the typical franchises in the history of video games, as a pioneer in the action genre and stealth strategy. In this series contains a variety of content, from Western literature fiction, to a little bit of anime, conspiracy, complex philosophy.
With an impressive game like Metal Gear Solid, of course fans have always wanted an anime series adapted from this franchise.
