TV shows with good video game adaptations.

[Patches]

Inspired by the Video games with good TV show adaptations thread. I feel like there are probably more this way though as someone who doesn't enjoy much TV I cannot think of any.

I do think we really missed out only having a lone mobile release of a Breaking Bad video games while the walking dead seems to have several games whats up with that?

The X-Files had a solid game. as well as 24.

I'm not sure if you are counting cartoons, but if you are, I liked the Jackie Chan cartoon game. I think it was on the GBA.

 

[Neb Lleb]

A lot really, from movies to series like
-The Last of Us
-Arcane
-Sonic the Hedgehog
-Ace Attorney
-Pac-Man
-Street Fighter
-Devil May Cry
-Castlevania
-Kirby (Right back at ya)
-Monster Hunter (Stories)

And a lot more

You got it wrong. We're talking "TV shows with good video game adaptations", not "Good TV shows based on games".

P.S. In that latter category, Castlevania and Street Fighter most definitely do not count.

A great one is Prison Break.

I second this! Good ps2 game too!

I heard House has a decent DS game.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Ah my bad, read it the wrong way. Anyway, maybe the Simpsons like the Hit and Run

Have not played, but I'm tempted with the House MD DS games, they sound fun like some kind of visual novel point and click / Ace Attorney clone.

The ones that come to mind for me are Duck Tales NES and its Remaster, and SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom.

I never watched the "John Wick" movies but I would like to, after playing "John Wick Hex" on Switch. The game was a bit bugged with random crashes, but I found it cool. After playing it I've watched some scenes from the movies on YT and I think the game conveys the atmosphere in a right way)

I have to say that Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force is probably one of the best licensed games of all time, effortlessly making you the star of your own classic Star Trek episode and delivering a unique FPS experience in doing so.

There's also a lot of pretty good games based on TV shows like
-Star Wars
-Naruto
-Dragon Ball (the og and Z)
-Ghostbusters
-Spongebob
-Ben 10 (the og and the Omnitrix)

And South Park, my favorite one

you're never going to believe this, but ed edd n eddy had a ps2 game that i remember being pretty impressed by back in the day. got it for free and it wasn't like, anything special. but i remember it being a lot better than i ever figured a licensed game could be back in the day.

a movie not a tv show, but the nightmare before christmas has a character action game on the ps2 as well. it's like almost a devil may cry clone. i just think that's neat!

 

[NemissaFotia]

These are great but there are also far too few good games based on Star Trek despite it being full of potential for games.

 

[King Koopa's iconKing Koopa]

A lot of the Tiny Toons games are good.

Had to do a double take with the title.

AVGN Adventures 2 (this is actually based on the AVGN movie so it counts), Die Hard Arcade, Terminator (Sega CD), Goldeneye, Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei, Madoka Portable, Magic Knight Rayearth, GS Mikami, all versions of The Adventures of Batman & Robin, Addams Family Values, Wizard of Oz (DS), Jojo: Heritage for the Future, Ducktales 1 & 2, Area 88 aka UN Squadron, Die Hard Arcade, Black Rock Shooter: The Game, Ghostbusters (Genesis), Scott Pilgrim vs The World: Complete Edition, The Red Star, Goldeneye 64, Spongebob: The Movie, Journey to Silius (almost was a Terminator Adaptation, counts), what the fuck do you mean Blazing Lazers is a Tokusatsu adaptation, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Sweet Home, Top Gun (SNES), Shatterhand, Xena: Warrior Princess, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, Ghost in the Shell (PS1), Queen's Blade, Iria, Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel (fun fact, this game introduced Mana to the series, this means she's technically Super Smash Bros eligible), Sailor Moon S Jogai Ranto, Natsuki Crisis Battle, Violinst of Hameln, Wangan Midnight.

I originally was gonna put up images but something fucked up and erased all my progress so I said fuck it, and even added more
