Anime Games on Genesis

[Melf]

Anime Expo is coming up, and I was thinking that it would be cool to do a retrospective on the some of the more noteworthy anime-based games on the Genesis. I'm trying to think of which ones there are though. I can only think of the following:

- Sailor Moon
- Dragonball Z
- Cyborg 009
- Captain Tsubasa
- Yu Yu Hakusho

Are there any others worth mentioning?

A few more... Whether or not they're 'worth mentioning' varies.

- Battle Mania/Trouble Shooter (based off Dirty Pair)
- Chibi Maruko-chan
- Crayon Shin-chan
- Devil Hunter Yohko
- Fist of the North Star/Last Battle
- Mystic Defender (based off Peacock King)
- Nadia no Fushugi no Umi
- Patlabor
- Saint Sword (based off Saint Seiya)
- Sangokushi Retsuden
- Slam Dunk (Toei 1993 anime)
- The two Yu Yu Hakusho games
- 3x3 Eyes - Legend of the Divine Demon
- Detonator Orgun
- The Heroic Legend of Arislan
- Ranma 1/2 - White Orchid Serenade
- Record of Lodoss War
- Shin Megami Tensei
- The Space Adventure
- Urusei Yatsura - My Dear Friends
- Goku

EDIT: Of course, there are several games that spawned their own short-lived animes. (Phantasy Star, Samurai Shodown, and Art of Fighting, for instance.)

Youch! I didn't think it was so many!

What, surprised? It's the japanese equivalent of license titles.

There's a lot more than that but I think if you're going to make an article you should stick to the easily recognizable in the West games.

I'm not that keen on anime games, but Dragonball Z on the Genesis is an excellent fighting title. It's great as a standalone fighter for those not interested in the show... it's just so well put together, mimicking the awesome fight style of the show perfectly.

Really? I thought I got most of them.

Yeah - missed that 'un.

Are you still doing this article, Ken? Seems like a good idea, even if it's too late for the Expo.
