What is your First Video Game Based on an Anime or Manga?/Cuál es tu Primer Videojuego Basado de un Anime o Manga?

Fist of the Northstar on the NES. At the time anime wasn't quite a thing in my neck of the US. I happened to be introduced to Houkto No Ken thanks to a local public access show that in the 30 minute slot showed clips from the movie. So color me surprised when I saw the NES game.

Time passes, got gifted the Sega Genesis, there was an offer to get a free game if you bought 2 games from Toys R Us, out of the games got Last Battle cause I wasn't into the other games genres, so went for it. Start up game, walking....YAAATAAAHHH! "Hmm....guess they got inspiration from Houtko No Ken?" Then years later, Oh look it was with blood removed and names changed.

Although my favorite games of the Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star Saga would be the 3 of Famicom and the 2005 of Arcade (Atomiswave).

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (GameCube, 2004)

And as a curious fact, this game is based on the PlayStation 2 version that came out a year earlier, but it looks a lot like the PS2, yes.

Probably Dragon Power on the NES. It was a Dragonball game that got ultra localized erasing it's dragonball nature.

Although the Japanese and French versions of the game are a little better than the American one, but hey.
