I feel like there isn’t much interest in video games based on existing anime IPs anymore, which I find weird. Back in the 2000s, these things were really in-vogue. If you’d told me there was a game based on my favorite show, I’d have bought it in a heartbeat. Nowadays, I just don’t see that kind of excitement. What happened? Is it because anime went mainstream and isn’t part of the 'cool kids club' anymore?

Licensed games in general just aren't done as much unless it's some gacha mobile game. Back in the 2000s every movie that came out would have some video game tie in or adaptation, but that never happens anymore. I think anime is the only thing that really even still gets game releases. But usually only the mega popular ones.

They all played differently. Your pic related is nothing like the DBZ Budokai games for example. You'd at least check it out to know if it sucked or not. Nowadays an anime game is announced and we know it's just yet another unfun arena fighter. We don't check it out, we just assume it sucks.

It never was to begin with, you revisionist retard. And it still isn't mainstream. Literally not even Marvel Movie tier.

The "anime tie-in game" got replaced by "anime tie-in gacha that dies after a year", that's all.
Nips love mobile games, especially gacha, and it's way more profitable than the old game releases so there's no reason to make a real game. Only a few big franchises still get games (Naruto, One Piece, SAO) and they're not even released that frequently.

I guess it depends on where you're from. The only thing that makes me question if One Piece is the world's biggest thing or not is how popular Naruto is

They're making a new Samurai Pizza Cats game, but that show hasn't been on the air for decades.

NOT RETRO.

Console games were more popular with kids back then.

>>12023213
You never looked at mobile games, have you? All the existing IPs moved to there because more people use a phone than own a console.

could have made a Clash of Ninja thread instead you fag lord
