Overlord - Douchebag Pikmin

Civilization - Bipolar Gandhi's Conquest

Cult of the Lamb - Woodland Critter Christmas

SMT - Atheist Loner Simulator

Persona - Agnostic Friendship Simulator

Dark Souls - Depressing Monster Hunter

Fashion Wars is Endgame

Super Robot Saurs

Japanese Saints Row

Eureka Seven the Game

Figured I would comment on how close you got...

Spoiler

Not Bad, only missed one, and I can see where you went wrong with Super Robot Wars...

In case you were curious for the one you missed

Spoiler

Zone of the Enders, and while the first one is even more generic mecha anime

The classic trailer for the sequel shows just how mecha anime the series is so well. I have always said these are the games that most feel like you are playing a mecha anime...

You got Horizon and Yakuza. The rest no. Drawing a word play between Splatoon and Squid Game is clever though.

Pretty spot-on! It makes me happy that people know the War-Themed Hat Simulator joke.

Spoiler
  • The first one was Mother; I was originally gonna say "The Third Birth Giver," but then I realized we're renaming series', not individual games
  • The second was Castlevania
  • I didn't think of Doom for the fourth one, but I can definitely see how it fits. It was meant to be Halo
    • and holy smokes, Super Noah's Ark 3D is an actual game?

No on all counts except Yakuza. Much as I love Netflix Castlevania, it's debateable whether it outshines its games, and literally no one would rather play the Witcher tv show.

I second the previous posters answers, and add that point 4 is Megaman.

Ah. Never played, so I didn't know that he's a robot boy (nor that he's saving any societies).

I've never seen The Witcher, so I didn't know if it's good or not, but that's what came to mind. And the Castlevania show is fantastic in it's own right, but different enough from the games that I don't think they're really comparable.

Yes.

No. I mean it is a wildly successful gacha game, but we award no points for genre.

Hint - it's Koei's most dismal spinoff financial failure, and thus ironically named.

No.

 

As for the Netflix game in question, the show based on the game is widely considered to be one of, if not the, greatest video game adaptations of all time, and is a must watch for both fans and non-fans of the property.
