Author Topic: Best Video Game Based Cartoon (Read 5317 times)

Like movies, most video game based cartoons suck. But most of these cartoons are pretty good:

1.Mega Man: NT Warrior
An excellent cartoon! It has only one flaw, that I can't remember right now, but who cares!

2.Earthworm Jim
Wow! An American made video game cartoon that doesn't suck? Odd!

3.Pokemon
It may be kiddieish, but it really does the Pokemon justice pretty well.

4.Sonic X
It does have a few flaws, but dang, it's still pretty fun to watch.

5.Sonic the Heghog: Catch your Tails, loose your Knukles
In Japan, this was actually an OVA. To bad ADV only release one episode (which was also the last).

6.Final Fantasy Unlimited
Just like the video game. Even has it's own Cid.

7.Street Fighter II
The live action Street Fighter movie may have sucked, but this one was okay.

8.Street Fighter Alpha
This one wasn't as good as the first Street Fighter anime movie, but it was still good.

9.Capitan N: The Game Master
Sure, the character designs are very flawed, but at least it had some good storys.

10.The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Ridiculos plots? Yes. Awful character designs? Also yes. But it is always fun to see one of your favorite games as a cartoon.

I'll give it to Megaman, any of the Mario shows, Sonic SatAM and Adventures of Sonic, oh! Earthworm Jim too.

But you didn't mention any of Hanna Barbera's old shows like Pac-Man and Space Ace or the likes. XD I didn't care for those anyways.

And I haven't really watched and of the new stuff except the Megaman Exe once. I'm not fond of them.

DO THE DR. MARIO!

I absolutely loved the old Sonic the hedgehog cartoons. He's my favorite cartoon character. So as you can imagine, I was psyched when I found out about Sonic X. I like Kirby's cartoon as well. I think if it were just entirely based on the Kirby video games, it would be better. But the animation on that show is fantastic. It's not as crappy and scratchy as some cartoons (*cough Pokemon *cough) Anyway, they used to have some of the best cartoons on television. Sonic the hedgehog, Super Mario bros. 3, and all other good cartoons I forgot to mention. But those two aren't kiddish to any extent. I still watch them today. And man, do they bring back memories.

And now you know, the rest of the story.

Actually, I was joking about liking the Kirby cartoon. I just said it because I ran out of ideas at the time. I will change it now. I'm sorry. I know some of you do like it. But I don't. Kirby babbles like an idiot, Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon are really annoying, King Dedede, as I remember, is not evil (it even said so in Kirby: Nightmare in dreamland), Kirby is a Pink Puffball, not a star warrior, I don't ever remeber when Kirby was called a baby and Metaknight, while not Kirby's nemesis, was never his ally either. Thats okay if you people like it, but I don't. Sorry. My opinion. Also, I don't like the old Sonic cartoons either. Sorry!

Yeah, no thanks to those gay retards at 4Kids, Kirby's show is really screwed up. If it weren't for 4Kids, Pokemon would have been even better than it was, and Kirby would actually be able to talk. I have him talk in all the storylines I've written for the cartoon. (If I worked for them, you'd see Kirby talking and not "Babbling like an idiot" as Lonic said.) You can tell they put a lot of effort into the animation and special effects of Kirby, Right back at ya! Even though the latest episodes have seemed like half efforts. I think they did a better job with Sonic X.

I know what you mean Jman. Did you know in Japan, Pokemon is not as kiddy as it is over here? It's true. There was one episode were a guy was holding a gun up to Ash's head, and there was another episode were Jessie curses out Misty. Too bad. 4Kids doesn't want to bring those episodes to America. How did I find this out? Well, I got a little help from a fellow anime fan. Also, for those who actually watch the cartoon (like me), remember that episode entitled, Beauty and the Beach? Well, on the uncut episode, while getting dress up as a girl for the beauty contest (as ussaul), James put fake breast on. 4Kids cut out this scene, making it "G Rated". I'm also sure you all know about the episode that gave kids seisures, right? Of coarse, even though Pokemon is not as kiddy over in Japan as it is over here, it's still a kids cartoon.

They actually had an episode where Ash had a gun up to his head? That's like a Pokemon hater's dream come true. I suppose that he didn't get shot, though. Jessie curses out Misty? Oh, that would be hilarious! Just show it at about 12:00 Midnight when most Pokemon fans are asleep. Then they won't hear Jessie swear her head off.

They should make Christmas specials for all the Fox cartoons, like Sonic and Kirby.

They should really bring back the old cartoons.

After reading this topic through, I must put in my two cents.

The Kirby cartoon is great. It's well done, funny, and fun to watch. Sure, they changed some details and added things here and there, but another thing I must point out is that it is set before the games take place. And Kirby himself is HILARIOUS!
