what are some media franchises you'd die to see a good game of but has either gone ignored or done dirty? (hexbear.net)

for me its dragon ball z. i've always wanted a good 3d open world dbz action rpg kind of game, but it's just never been done to its full potential. the closest we've gotten in my opinion is dragon ball z kakarot, which has great DBZ fighting game style fighting, and tries to incorporate it with an open world with rpg-light type features, but the world and rpg elements are just so uninspired and poorly done. they don't really blend well with the fighting segments either, it feels like all of the 'open world' is more of just a 3d overworld with minigames

I loved Naruto in the beginning where it was about outsmarting their opponents and playing to your strengths. Then it just became "my power level is X" "I'm on transformation y" and so on. But that's basically the issue with every shonen. It's always an interesting premise that then gets derailed with asinine statcirclejerking.
That's where one piece is at too these days :(
Maybe shaman king avoided it? Otherwise the only one I can think of would be full metal alchemist

I'm an absolute sucker for tournament arcs so the entire Chuunin exam bit was fun as hell. You got to see all sorts of wacky side characters get time in the spotlight, got to see some well animated fights, some clever tricks

And then shit goes flying off the rails later on when it truly becomes the Naruto and Sasuke show
