For example, CAPCOM is a Japanese game company that did Disney games. KONAMI is another Japanese game company did a few Warner Brothers games, and did a few arcade games of American cartoons. For example, KONAMI has done the Simpsons Arcade Game in 1991. Then KONAMI did The Wild West C.O.W BOYS of Moo Mesa in 1992, then in 2001, KONAMI made an arcade game of one of Craig McCracken's earliest creations for Cartoon Network: The Powerpuff Girls. Is there a reason why the Japanese quit making games based on American cartoons?  |
Way to generalize, have you seen the Japanese fan sites for western shows?. Anyway are you agreeing with my points or not? Yes, Japan used to make games based on American cartoons but that was from the time when Japan was pretty much the end all in gaming. The first examples you site are more then 15 years out of date and are from the afore mentioned period when Japan had an even greater share in development then now.The PowerPuff Girls have been popular in Japan since the show was released there(There is even a Japanese version of the PPG) and is defiantly an exception. I'm not a market expert but I think the reason for the decline of the tiny market of Japanese cartoon games is that it is so much more expensive to make a game in Japan when you can get it done in America at a fraction of the cost.
Ah, I'm going to regret this later but I can't resist...
