Underrated Gems
The anime is based on the game, not the other way around
Another vote for the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs series. The first game on PS3 was my first import, and quickly became a favorite among me and my friends.
Also, it had a Linkin Park song as the opening so it gets a bonus point for that.

I really enjoyed the movement in Attack on Titan 2. I didn't play expansion but going through the story as a generic character creator who learns skills from all the others was pretty cool. Seems like it was not popular though.
Kaettekita Cyborg Kuro-chan for PSX, based on the manga/anime. A pretty good Contra-like deal (made by Konami and all). I kinda like the stat/weapon upgrade system and the music is good. Loved playing it coop.
Our gba Medabots RPG was a remake of Medarot 2. The anime was based on the that game.I started to think about that, but its not that easy to remember good ones
i remember i enjoyed these games:
bishoujo senshi sailor moon for the snes
magic knight rayearth also for the snes
and medabots for the gba
Many great Gundam games have already been listed, so I'll toss in an oldie: Zeonic Front for PS2.
The Pirate Warriors Series.
They may be musou games through and through , but goddamn the world , the characters and the crazy as shit powers of One Piece fit like a glove to that genre.Never though a pairing like that would do such magic.
I mean , Just look at those special moves.LOOK AT THEM!!!!

I enjoyed this back in the day, but I've always wanted to play the PS2 game which was never released here. Based on everything I've heard it's a superior game.Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage on Dreamcast!
edit: has anyone played that Berserk musou game? I've heard mixed things. But I suppose it's a basic musou game so I kinda know what to expect.
If a new game would be anything like the SNES/MegaDrive beat-em-ups, count me in.
I'll have to look into that. I remember back in the day I was looking forward to it but I just remember never getting to play it.
The One Piece Unlimited series on the Wii was amazing. You controlled all 9 characters at once and each character had their own life/special bars to upgrade and moves to unlock and level up.
You had these giant seamless maps to explore, beat enemies, unlock and level up moves, find materials for crafting tools and stat boosting food and medicine, as well as bridges and ladders to access new areas and secret bosses. And you had motion control fishing to top it all off :) You could even keep the fish on the ship's tank to see them swimming around.
They even linked the two Cruise games so all the progress you made leveling up the characters on episode 1 while waiting for episode 2 went straight into the second game, so you could take on a harder difficulty knowing that you were prepared for it. Just compare the life/special bars on the screenshots.
Then they released that 3ds game, World RED. It was fine, but the multiplayer focus made them ditch all that content geared toward a singleplayer experience and made it a lesser experience for me, sadly. It's still worth playing imo, but once you finish an area you don't have much reason to go back, unlike on the Wii games where I might say "okay, now I want to get to this island because I need flour, lotus and crocodiles for those recipes, marble for that bridge, zombie souls for that boss fight and maybe I can level up Sanji along the way" and have 30-45 minutes just goofing around.
Doraemon Sotry of Seasons is REALLY fun, too. One of my most played Switch titles. Apart from being pretty, the villagers are interesting, it's full of skits and I really like how they implemented the gadgets. The only downside is that upgrading the tools doesn't make them take less stamina, so you're always tired, but I guess it gets better later on as you have more money to expend on medicine.

This game was based on a little-known anime OVA from the 90s called Fire Emblem. Only two episodes were made before the show was canceled and the IP shelved for years.
The game is pretty solid, but nothing spectacular for fans of the genre. Feels a little dated, like it could have been a SNES game. But it served as a foundation for sequels that were highly improved. Fire Emblem: Awakening, Fire Emblem Fates, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses are all fantastic games.

I understand why you'd think so, but I actually really do like Fire Emblem Fates.
Co-signing attack on titan 2 final battle
I always wanted theseUnderrated Gems
Is the game actually any good?
I got back into the anime after a 3 years hiatus so this might be interesting to me .
Criminally underrated game. Even seen Yakuza fans forget it exists sometimes. :(
Is this worth playing as someone that's a Yakuza fan but not seen FotNS (though I have a passing interest in it)?
Has to be. No way they're unaware of the 10 previous FE games, a good chunk released before the OVA.
Megaman battle network and basically most anime GBA games had a lot of care put into them that generation, I think anime translates to sprite work really well
I know this opens up another problem, but the Japanese version of Rayearth is pretty affordable.
I've also heard good things about the Rayearth Game Gear games, the first of which has a translation patch.
Absolutely. Don't need any prior knowledge and there's an English dub if that's helpful!
Shaman King Master of Spirits 1 and 2 are underrated gems. They are Castlevanias and 2 has a lot of replayability from what I recall.
Turns out the Manga/Anime was made off the show for promotional reasons.
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise PS4/PC
Initial D : Arcade Stage

Blood Will Tell was excellent! Super dark and grimy feudal Japan setting. Fighting demons to reclaim parts of your body, earning new abilities along the way. Really good melee combat. Now I want to play it again.
It's a bottom tier yakuza game but it's yakuza so I still enjoyed it. Also has an expanded version of the cabaret club minigame which is great.
I remember playing through this back in the day after I finished the series, cause I needed more Samurai Champloo. It was pretty decent, but I never beat it.
The Battle Network games are the original work, so they are not "based on an anime". The anime is based on the games.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jojo: all stars battle. It's from cyberconnect2 ,the creators of the naruto ultimate games, and it's quite good with tons of Easter eggs so you can tell the people making the game love the series. The game even got a 40/40 from Famitsu, which I don't think it deserves at all cause the game is good but not perfect score good.
I'm still salty the game is stuck on PS3 I was expecting a ps4 port but now my only hope is a PC port.
I wouldn't say it has the best ratio, it's just that there's a METRIC FUCKTON of Gundam games, so there's bound to be some pretty good ones. The SD Gundam G Generation and Gundam VS series probably being among the better ones.
Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi on the PS2. It plays a lot like the 3rd Rival Schools game we never got. It follows the manga a bit more than the anime and even has some new art from Shun Matsuena for it. There's a story mode that takes you through the main story from the manga and there are even little training sections with the Masters from the dojo.
Bought this for my daughter because she love this series, I'm actually enjoying it more than her and I know nothing about FairytailI'm not the biggest fan of the series but the Fairy Tail RPG by GUST is not bad.
