After Flopchet and Bomb? Nope?

Nuclear Throne?

With how the Ratchet and Clank movie tanked, don't expect it.

Conker

But not Conkers bad fur day; Conker Reloaded.

I honestly think Starfox Adventures, done in an 80s GI Joe or Legend of Zelda style. Hey, it can't be worse than the game
>>
how did that thing even get an animated series in the first place?
the game wasn't exactly that popular
>>
>>84150981
The series was in the works since the video game came out. I think there were some production issues that made it come out late.
>>
Star Fox or Metroid would be my choice.

The banter thrown by all the characters, and general action in Star Fox would transition well into a cartoon.

Having Samus capture an enemy of the week would also be cool and really show she is a bounty hunter.

Ratchet and Clank may not have worked as a movie.

But I can tell that it could have worked better as an Animated series.

An about Angry Birds, there are two animated series made already

It was all an attempt to force the IP into popularity. The show and game were conceived together as one concept.

>>84150216
I don't know how they fucked up so badly. I actually liked the games, and I can only guess what kind of executive meddling led to that misfire of a show. I'd even been looking forward to the show, and after like a decade of waiting I wished it never existed.
>>
>>84155485
There's nothing about Ratchet and Clank that makes it inherently not work as a movie. It failed because of terrible decision-making throughout the process, and making it an animated series would do nothing to protect it from this if it happened again.
>>
Alright I guess it's up to me to make the obligatory Psychonaughts suggestion. Oh also Shovel Knight.

Skullgirls for sure. Make it a variety show that has stories for all 14 characters. Then in the 4 parter season finale, they all come together Justice League style to defeat Marie.

I NEED THIS

That whole game is an homage to classic NES games. If there's a cartoon, it should be an homage to cartoons from around that time.

If Shantae was a cartoon they'd either have to tone down the designs a lot to suit a kid audience or ratchet up the raunchiness to suit an adult audience. Shantae would probably be better off as an anime since that seems to be the only way you can get a show specifically geared towards teenagers and not pushed towards some heavy extreme.

I think I'd prefer for Link to have dialogue, but for it to be really limited, like Courage. Basically have him make exclamations and say one- or two-word sentences.

Nah, just have it star Beowulf.

I'd like to see a miniseries of the World Ends With You directed by Gendy Tartakovsky. That'd look damn good as a cartoon.
Other than that:

and not that god awful CGI one from way back. The French have good animation companies, get Xilam or someone to make one based on the Origins/Legends art style and it'd be golden.

you remember that one episode of Dexter's Laboratory literally written by a 6 year old? do that but as an entire series. every episode is written by a different kid each week as a contest or something. just make some basic guidelines as to what the notebook can and can't do and just let the kids go nuts.

Team Fortress 2, please. I mean, I don't expect anything from Valve ever, but it'd be nice.

I really like the idea of a Mighty Switch Force Show, most likely set shortly after first joining the force and taking place in a society where robots and ai are only recently starting to work in the workforce and people are still uneasy about it and question what it is to be alive as well the worth of her own life being a replaceable machine in the line of duty (similar to what MLAATR tried to do). Instead of the Hooligan sisters, bring in multiple villains that tested Patricia in different ways. They don't have to be dropped either, could include them as side/background characters before their downfall into tyranny that we see in the first game to give them all some personality or a reason as to why they were so quickly trusted in the sequels.

... I've thought about this idea a lot...

>>84151697
didn't the creator of shantae state they did mess around with the idea of a shantar tv series and wrote out a few episodes in full to show if they were ever given the opportunity?
>>
>>84155684
There was actually a TV anime animated in MMD. Straight Title Robot Anime.
>>
>>84150216
Counter-Strike

I'd love to see a cartoon series where each episode is a map from all the counter-strike games
>>
I personally think Jak 3 would've made for a sick adult action series.
>>
>>84155684
>Undertale

The game relies on its medium so much that I don't think a 1:1 adaptation would work. A sitcom with the monsters and Frisk living above ground could work, though.
>>
>>84150216
almost anything from nintendo. too bad all it took was one bad movie for nintendo to never trust the west handling their IPs ever again.
>>
>>84157102
Skullgirls is shit though. So the show would also likely be shit.
>>
Not series, but Braindead 13 would have made a way better Halloween special than game.
>>
>>84158988
I can't get over the fact that TF2 almost had an Adult Swim cartoon but it never happened because Valve can't find their ass with both hands.
>>
>>84150216

I always thought a Dark Souls cartoon would be amazing but I could never figure out how they could make one and have it remain faithful to the game.

My only good idea is each episode follows a different hollow learning about a different lore character and what happened to them, each episode ending with the protagonist being killed by the lore character they were learning about.
