Crash Bandicoot.
1996 is the year where it started.
It's almost 3 decades!
I always wonder why this famous goofy marsupial boy still doesn't get anime adaptation? It has more than 10 games across many platforms, got manga adaptation and video game commercial in Japan.

Legend of Zelda. I know it got a cartoon (well exUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS) but an anime for it would work in my opinion

Not old, but several RPG Maker or Wolf Editor games definitely deserved to have at least one OVA or animated special, like Mad Father, The Witch's House, Yume Nikki, Wadanohara, etc.

This game was definitely a big deal in Japan back in the day, but overall it's always been an American brand. But honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing an anime based on it.

@RetroCagliostro Judging by the announced film, they're generally more interested in the Western market. Compare that to Mario and Sonic, who already have their own anime and anime-like media.

Yakuza aka Ryu ga Gotoku. Several live action adaptations, 20 years of games to adapt and they're already filled with dozens of hours of cutscenes, would be pretty fitting to make an anime adaptation of.

It would be great if there was an anime for Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

Danganronpa 2 never got a proper anime adaptation. Hopefully the remake/sequel Danganronpa 2x2 will get one, I love the DR2 cast.

I am glad most of video games are not adapted to other mediums because these already is like watching interactive very high production values live action movie/tv show look at for example here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphaQwR4Q3I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fkggnow9W0


very high production values 3DCG animated tv series/movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQazC8hWAZs



Video games except visual novels are the only medium that does need adaptation and are perfectly fine as they are.

This is just a pipe dream choice, but Wurms on the NES would have made such a great anime adaption. Considering it already had anime visuals.

Considering the fact that before Persona 5, it was the best selling individual game in the series (not including spinoffs), I am honestly surprised that the only adaptations that Revelations Persona received was the manga and a Drama CD, and never got a full on animated adaptation. Persona 2 at the very least had a short animation included on the Sumaru TV Special Preview Disc included with Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, but Revelations Persona is the only Persona game to never have had any animated content made for it (not including the PSP port's cutscenes) even in a shortform capacity. At this point anything being done with P1 is very unlikely and it was a shock we even had a Kindle release of the manga this year as that is the most they've ever done for P1 in years outside of anniversary promotional merchandise.

Kinda surprised Donkey Kong never got one. A silly one with King K Rool hijinks in a similar vein to the cartoon would be pretty cool. Also they gotta include songs like the cartoon had as well.

I'm amazed they still haven't made one about stupid ass chrono trigger when so many people have been sucking its kneecaps for 30 years
