best video-game tv series - Page 2

There was indeed a Zelda episode of Captain N.

I always thought that show was stupid. Took so many liberties with the source materials. Same with the Mario shows. They were cool at first, but the games have always had such a wealth of cool stuff to use in a cartoon, and instead we get formulaic stories with hardly any continuity, tons of animation mistakes, and inacurate character designs.

Honestly, like it or not, the best video game show is Pokemon. No other show has been as faithful to the game as that show. The only one that even comes close is Kirby.

Sayonara.

Mortal Kombat: Defenders Of The Realm
It was a great video game cartoon cause it was based on Mortal Kombat 3

I didn't think too many video games had TV shows.

Ignorant.

Pokemon is the same episode every freaking week, the animation gets worse every season, and the Captain N episodes had way more deapth than Ash catching creatures in a Pocket Ball every week.

If you meant the crappy Zelda cartoon, I agree

Respect is due to Captain N and Mario.

Shove it, tough guy. Don't you dare talk to me like that.

That would be Pokeball, not Pocket Ball, smartypants. Now who's ignorant?

Pokemon is actually faithful to the games. Plus it has a real sense of continuity that most shows for young children just don't have. Plus, as far as anime goes, aside from a few things Pokemon is very faithful to the Japanese original. As far as depth goes, Pokemon's got it. As far as animation goes, who cares? I didn't say it was the best cartoon, I said it was the best cartoon based on a video game.

No. I think they sucked. Deal with it.

You want to talk about bad animation, the Mario show had it in spades. We're talking about shots with Luigi's mouth moving while the Princess' voice was coming out. That's pathetic. Don't let nostalgia blind you just because you don't like Pokemon.

I don't like it any more than you do. I wish I could say that I loved the Mario show, because you'll probably not find many bigger Mario fans than me. But that show spat on the great characters and story line that Nintendo came up with and made a formulaic, run of the mill American cartoon. Pokemon is, in my educated opinion, the best video game show.

Sayonara.

You're right, I probably could call you a lot worse, but I should'nt have insulted your opinion like that, I'm sorry.

Pfft, matters not the name, the concept remains

First three movies and three seasons I would agree, but now? EXPLOITATION

A great cartoon must have great writing to back it

You're preferring Game adaptations that follow the rules, Captain N was on the level of Babylon Five and at least tried NOT to retard it's audience, sorry if you obviously have a problem with that.

Yo, the TMNT did that as well in SEVERAL areas Sherlock

Don't let Pokemon's crappy dubbing and crappy concepts blind you to the fact that, animation, poor or not, did'nt let Mario down, not in characters, not in story.

And I say Captain N, and Sonic SATAM were, why? because it made something signifcant of the games they were adapting, current shows that do adapt games never do their stories justice (look at crap like Sonic X)

NOW CAN U DIG THAT...SUCKAAAAAAAAAAA?

*Bowser_Koopa* · 12-02-2003, 09:33 AM

ermm........i don't like pkmn either >_<, ash always says "I WILL WE THE BEST!!!!!!!! i'll capture every single pkmn!" but he never captures anything, and the way i see it is not faithful aneough to the games, in the games there's no way a pikachu would win against a rhyon using thunder, even if he aims at the horn, and aim at the horn is not something you can do in the games, but the aiming thing is understandable, what is not is that pikachu once won against a rhydon. And they make look thundershock like a powerful electric attack when is not.

this is just my opinion. I wouldn't like to get in the middle of an argument

Pokemon kicked it. Super Mario did to. BUT they both had bad bad animation. pokemon has soooooooo many fanfics right now that its sick. a bad storyline couldnt trigger that many cruddy online RPGs and fanfics

*Dane E5R* · 12-02-2003, 03:40 PM

Actually, Sonic X is damn faithful.. And it is excellent.

*PizzaPower* · 12-02-2003, 03:48 PM

I like Somic X and Shamon king ( Is baed on comic nook.)

You are..."Pokemon" in Japan is actually called "Pocket Monsters", hence "Pocket Ball" wasn't far off when he said it.

If you're talking about Fox Box Sonic X, then I agree with you. But The REAL japanese Sonic X is NOT crap. And while I liked SatAM Sonic, it wasn't godly either.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-02-2003, 05:41 PM

I hav'nt seen the American dub, and I don't like the original japanease version, Sonic in the real world teaming with humans is ridiculous and reeks of Digimon.

Sonic SATAM is indeed godly, it was on a level which Sonic X will never compare to.

Savanti Romero · 12-02-2003, 05:47 PM

This thread is great!

I'll vote for Zelda, but I've never seen the show (or knew it existed). I played some of the 64 game and liked it. I'm not much of a game or TV watcher unless it invlolves the Turtles.

Come on, Robotnik a cyborg (but unlike his other incarnations, he was PURE evil: I like that

) , all these extra characters (Sally, Antoine,etc...), Tails being COMPLETELY useless. Sorry, I can't consider that godly. But I wish the Sonic in Sonic X was more athletic like in the Sonic CD cutscenes.

Don't get your hopes up. The Zelda cartoon had NOTHING to do with the N64 games. Link is supposed to be a shy, quiet young man. In the cartoon, he was an arrogant macho. But that didn't prevent me from liking the 'toon, though.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-02-2003, 06:03 PM

Errr, on the contrary

1. Robtonik was'nt a cyborg, he was human when he took control of Mobius, and added cyborg parts to himself, he was animated the same way in Sonic Underground

2. Those "extra characters" were FAR from "usless" , Sally was Sonic's lover, Bunny Rabott had some very emotional scenes, Antony was comedy releif, and Tails would have had a bigger role if the series had returned for Season 3

3. The series had incredible writing, and some of them are the most emotional in any game-based cartoon ever, shows like the Uncle Chuck episodes, "Blast From the Past Parts 1 and 2" "The Doomsday Project"

GODLY

Sonic X is just pathetic, pandering to the Sonic Adventure fanatics, not to mention being UN-Original, adapting a game story.

Dontebell · 12-02-2003, 06:14 PM

why did the people who made sonicSATam cartoons won't let tails fight with sonic and the freedom fighters?
