00:01Of course you lost! I'm a Super Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God!
00:07Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're counting down the licensed games based on anime that still slap.
00:20One Piece Odyssey
00:27Turning One Piece into a turn-based JRPG feels so obvious that it's surprising it took so long.
00:33Odyssey strands the Straw Hats on a mysterious island where they must recover their lost abilities,
00:38while revisiting altered versions of familiar adventures.
00:41Series creator Aichihira Oda contributed new character and monster designs,
00:45helping the original story feel authentically One Piece.
00:48I told you about your family!
00:52Ha ha ha, he's not a family. My real family.
00:57All of them died.
00:58Combat makes smart use of each crewmate's specialties,
01:01while simply exploring with Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and company captures the joyful chemistry fans expect.
01:07It can be a little too leisurely for its own good,
01:09but as an actual RPG built around the Straw Hats functioning as a party,
01:13Odyssey delivers something surprisingly substantial.
01:23Rebirth of Souls
01:24At long last, Ichigo and company have been granted the flashy modern fighter they deserved.
01:38Covering the story from Ichigo's stint as a substitute Soul Reaper through the climactic conflict with Aizen,
01:44the game launched with more than 30 characters ready to brawl.
01:55Its real hook is combat built around dramatic reversals,
01:59appropriate for a series where somebody revealing they had another secret transformation is practically tradition.
02:04The presentation absolutely nails Bleach's stylish character design, weaponry, and Bankai.
02:10It may not reinvent arena fighters, but after years of neglect, simply having a lavish Bleach game again felt like
02:16an event.
02:18This is my true power.
02:21You will die by my hand.
02:23Attack on Titan 2
02:33This sequel only had one job, capture the thrill of bringing down giant monsters, and boy did it deliver.
02:40You will die!
02:42You will die!
02:43You will die!
02:44You will die!
02:44Omega Force's improved omnidirectional mobility system lets players rocket around buildings,
02:49circle Titans, and slice through their weak points at ludicrous speeds.
02:58Titans themselves became more unpredictable than in the first game, while the story incorporates material from the anime's second season,
03:05alongside original sequences.
03:06Few licensed games translate their source material's central mechanic this successfully.
03:11Swinging around a Titan before landing the perfect strike isn't merely accurate, it's outrageous.
03:22Omega Factor
03:31Licensed games weren't exactly synonymous with quality in the early 2000s, which makes Omega Factor feel almost miraculous.
03:44It took the iconic robot hero and created a fantastic mixture of beat-em-up combat, platforming, and side-scrolling
03:51shooting.
03:51Astro can punch enemies across the screen, fire his arm cannon, and rocket through airborne stages, while the story draws
03:57characters from across Tezuka's wider body of work.
04:06Omega Factor is fast, inventive, and packed with the sort of spectacular 2D action that lets it stand proudly beside
04:13the system's best.
04:20JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle Arm
04:30How do you adapt something as gloriously excessive as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?
04:34Apparently, you gather all the JoJo's, villains, and stand users from across generations, and let everyone beat each other senseless.
04:48All-Star Battle Arm launched with 50 playable characters drawn from across the franchise, complete with signature poses, attacks, and
04:55dialogue that makes it feel like Araki's artwork in motion.
05:04The remaster also speeds up combat, adds assists, and generally improves upon the original experience.
05:09It may not possess the competitive legacy of Capcom's heritage for the future game, but as a celebration of JoJo
05:15itself, few games come this close.
05:25Looking for that next fix?
05:27Well, scan the QR code on screen to head on over to Mojo Play's 24-7 livestream for all your
05:32gaming and otaku needs.
05:37Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses
05:48Historically accurate? Absolutely not.
05:51Memorable? You bet.
05:52Duelists of the Roses inexplicably transports Yu-Gi-Oh! characters into the real-life historical conflict known as the Wars
05:59of the Roses,
06:00recasting Yu-Gi and Kaiba as opposing figures in a fantastical version that trades swords for monster cards.
06:06Instead of simply recreating the card game, duels take place on tactical grids, where monsters physically move across terrain.
06:18While World Championship, Forbid Memories, and Master Duel embody the classic Duel Monsters framework,
06:23Roses has become a cult favorite, mainly due to its excess eccentricity.
06:27Twenty years later, fans are still asking for a remake.
06:36Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise
06:44Giving Fist of the North Star to the developers of Yakuza might be one of gaming's greatest examples of understanding
06:50the assignment.
06:58RGG Studio built Lost Paradise around Kenshiro's brutally excessive Hokotu Shinken techniques, allowing enemies to explode into fountains of blood
07:06after suffering a million pressure points.
07:08attacks at once.
07:13But because this is essentially Yakuza wearing a leather vest and screaming atatatata,
07:17there's also bartending, buggy racing, and enough bizarre side activities to make Kenshiro's post-apocalyptic life surprisingly wholesome.
07:24The original story also gives newcomers a somewhat approachable start without sacrificing the ridiculous violence fans have come to expect.
07:37Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme vs. Maxi Boost On.
07:40RGG Studio
07:51Forget lumbering around like a walking tank.
07:53Maxi Boost On makes Gundams move like somebody strapped rockets to every mechanical ligament.
07:57RGG Studio
08:05Originally a popular Japanese arcade game, its PS4 release brought the series' frantic two-versus-two battles to a much
08:10wider audience.
08:12Players can choose from a staggering 183 mobile suits drawn from across Gundam history, each with distinct weaponry and abilities,
08:19while three different EX burst systems add another strategic layer.
08:22There's a steep learning curve, but once movement, boosting, and team coordination click, you'll feel like an ace pilot in
08:28no time at all.
08:29It's the perfect marriage of fanfare and solid mechanics that even the most casual of Gundam fans need to experience.
08:39Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
08:41Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village. Here lives a boy who dreams of becoming the village leader, the Hokage. That
08:53boy's name is Naruto Uzumaki.
08:56CyberConnect2 has been years perfecting its Naruto formula, and Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 feels like the finale everything had been
09:03building toward.
09:03Covering the climactic stages of the Fourth Shinobi War, it recreates battles on a scale that frequently rivals the anime
09:09itself.
09:10Giant summons demolish environments, Ultimate Jutsu attacks fill the entire screen, and Naruto and Sasuke finally settle one of anime's
09:18longest-running rivalries.
09:20It's going to be irritating me so much!
09:23What?
09:23You've always been the same.
09:25That attitude of yours has never changed.
09:28Damn it!
09:29Arena fighters are often dismissed as shallow fanservice, but Storm 4 demonstrates exactly why the formula became so popular, especially
09:37when the scope and spectacle is this high.
09:39Don't you get it by now?
09:41Just answer me!
09:46Because we're friends.

10:13Dragon Ball Fighters
10:14There have been dozens of great Dragon Ball games, but Fighters accomplished something remarkably rare.
10:19It became both a phenomenal adaptation and a respected fighting game in its own right.
10:24Yeah!
10:25Let me go!
10:28There's more!
10:31Arc System Works' cel-shaded visuals make battles look almost indistinguishable from the series.
10:36While its approach to three-on-three bouts earned a legitimate competitive following, taking it all the way to EVO
10:41in the process.
10:42I'll put you out of both misery.
10:46Gohan!
10:48Ahhhh!
10:49It wasn't shy on single-player content either, with a wickedly entertaining story mode, plenty of killer character animations and
10:55interactions,
10:56while its original villain broke the internet, for a variety of reasons.
