Now of course there are some great licensed games out there, but for the most part the "licensed game" is synonymous with shovelware that is just kind of shit. NES/SNES/PS1 era was just filled with absolutely licensed crap that took a property and jammed it into a genre or game that it just did NOT belong in...and then it was rushed to hit some sort of sales window. Just absolute garbage thrust onto the fans
But SOMETIMES a developer takes a licensed property and pairs it with a genre that is just absolutely PERFECT for the license. Then they make a great game to go with that perfect genre.
Like Golgo 13! A manga based on the worlds best sniper...in a light gun arcade game where you play AS A SNIPER...with gameplay that is just some of the best stuff put to an arcade board in the 90s. Plus it just straight up borrows plotlines from the manga for fans to play in real life.
It's like the TMNT from Konami....except it's the Golgo 13 from NAMCO.
But what are some other "perfect" licensed games Gaf? What do you got!
