What games could be adapted as a TV series?

There's a lot of games out there that I think could be made into TV series or anime. Sure, some of them may not work, but there are some that I think could shine if made properly.

For starters, I think that the story behind Golden Sun and Golden Sun: TLA, if worked on properly, would make a superb anime. If I were to make it, I'd be careful not to make it kiddy or too slapstick. I'd make it in a more serious, mature tone, obviously with content that would not be suitable for young children. It's those kinds of anime that kicka**. Plus, the story to Golden Sun is VERY good, so I'm sure people would like it, provided there aren't too many plotholes or differentiations from the game's plot.

If you have a suggestion for a game that could be adapted as an anime or TV series, feel free to share your idea.

I'd like to see the "Ratchet and Clank" series made into an Anime.If not,"Soul Calibur" or "Tekken".How about Mario Bros. or Zelda?These classics could be worth viewing.

A new Zelda TV series is something I would adore. As a matter of fact, I'm actually working on a fan project for a LOZ TV fan series. It'll probably never be made for TV, but it's a way to get out my creativity.

As for a new Mario series, yeah, that would get Nintendo some more publicity (provided they don't screw it up).

Im just going to say it, very blunt of course im sure everyone else will want it....

"Rockman X"!

Either that or a anime on like Devil May Cry be sweet, or Kingdom Hearts.....maybe even a anime of Silent Hill, using some very very creepy visuals and art work maybe, it could work....

Silent hill? I bet that would rated high. But how come there hasn't been an X series? Is there some rule, or do they just not want to.

I would also like to see a Golden Sun and The Lost Age anime.
If they keep the ending of the 2nd game, they can make a 3th series so that Camelot can make a 3th game too.

Mario Bros, only if Harvey Atkin reprises his role as King Bowser/Koopa. Gotta love his voice.
This would also be a good way to advertise for the new mario game.

Rockman and Rockman X
Only to see Forte (since he was absent in the old cartoon) and to see what happends too the original rockman cast inbetween Rockman and Rockman X.

Zelda
Depends a bit on which Zelda game(s) it is based on. The original cartoon was based on Zelda 1.
Maybe a zelda anime of the events between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. [spoil:2b463c94b7]According to a scene, Ganondorf must have escaped the dark realm from OoT, but how is not mentioned. And since he gets comatized in TP, he must have been awakened somehow for in The Wind Waker.[/spoil:2b463c94b7]

Kingdom Hearts 1, CoM and 2.
Well, it was a kickass game, and it gives me a chance to see Sora VS Sephiroth again ^_^
And I want to know more of Ansem's background (the reports in the game arent enough!!)

Final Fantasy VII
Sephiroth, do i need to say more

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again:

Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars

ZOE is a turn-based mecha strategy game where all the missions/chapters begin with a conversation/event/cutscene between the characters, goes to the battle, and then ends the mission with another conversation/event/cutscene. Through the magic of artistic interpretation, you could have an anime series without having to change the plot or too many of the lines. Plus, the story rocks, so that's a plus right there. Razz

I think Kingdom Hearts might make it in the TV industry. The only question is would it be cg or someother way.

Kingdom Hearts would probably be made in anime style. CG would be cool, but for television, there's only so much that can be made in terms of actions and movements. With anime, you can do a lot more (even though at some points it may seem comical)

As for something else, I'm surprised that a Boktai anime hasn't been made. I'm sure a lot of you people would enjoy something like that (me, I dunno, cause I haven't played the games).

Also, what about a Rockman Zero anime? With graphics like that, I think it would be SO sweet. And it's got an excellent storyline to it. However, it can't be made so that Zero ALWAYS comes out on top. He has to lose some battles (although without losing his life). Also, I'd love to see how Rie Tanaka could play out the role of Ciel (she does the voice in the games).

I honestly think, and will forever believe, that Boktai could be a possibly good anime. Maybe even the upcoming Lunar Knights. I'd love to see an anime of one of those.

As to anything else, I'd say Megaman X. It could be good if done right. Heck, if they could do an X episode of the old Megaman cartoon fairly well, I'm sure an anime could have the potential to be good.

I think Rockman Zero would make a kickass series, maybe even better than X would.

I'd love to see them do a Rockman X series, but do it more like Ghost in the Shell. Something adult and sophisticated like that, something that would take advantage of playing out that whole unique political storyline...

Granted, I'd probably be the only one who would want to see something like that, but a girl can dream, can't she?

That might be ok. But I think that might be a little heavy for some. Add in some humor and good fight scenes and you have something.

Even though not a series, they could make an OVA version of Forte's REAL background. Would be cool to see an anime version Razz

A show based on the Sonic Heroes/Shadow The Hedgehog would be a nice view. I hated that they skipped Metal Sonic in Sonic X >_>

As long as it's not dubbed by 4Kids. One problem I have with them is that they messed up the voice of the E-series robots form adventure 1. Those are favorite characters of mine.

I've had thoughts about a Smash Bros anime, but that would be kinda weird. Granted, it would probably be cool, but still, very weird.

Yuriko, I love that "Ghost in the Shell" idea for a Rockman X anime. Very good way to present it.
