Classic Cartoons That Should Get (GOOD) Video Games

Speed Racer. I have the Super Nintendo game and boy does it suck. It's got fine intent, but there are far too many different issues across the race stages (you're too slow compared to the other cars, the Mach 5 has a health bar and you take a lot of damage with each hit, changing the tire treads does fuck all in the stages you need them, your hitbox is all over the place so you take damage easily when you don't have your buzzsaws out but miss speed boost charges all the time) and platforming stages (you take fall damage easily, your punch is a death sentence with how close you need to be to hit, your kicks are weak but are your only means of keeping enemies at a distance, you have no invulnerability frames so you lose a lot of health when you fight enemies). If you tweak the fuck out of the issues, it could become salvageable. Also, you get coins from the races but it does absolutely nothing regarding the gameplay. If you could use them to upgrade the Mach 5, it would help the races out even further.

EXO Squad would make for a pretty kickass one. Hardcore Mecha and Metal Warriors showed you can do fun side-scrolling mech stuff, so you can go for that, or go full autist and make it a akin to MechWarrior where you control your Exo-frame in first or third person. Between missions you can fix it up and maybe swap weapons or equipment to suit the situation, maybe even going so far as to have multiple Frames you can use that are good in different situations (with the Neo-Sapien frames potentially available as unlockable extras. You know you'd want to drive Thrax's red Frame). The story can either follow the show or cover parts of the conflict the show didn't cover. You could even throw in a conquest mode so you can blow up ships and enemy mechs without dealing with story stuff.

A fighting game featuring the lesser known and/or less popular '70s Hanna-Barbera characters. Hong Kong Phooey, Jabberjaw, Captain Caveman, Great Grape Ape, the entire cast of Wacky Races and at least one of the Hair Bear Bunch. All done in the classic H-B art style and with the classic H-B sound effects.

I wish we lived in a world were American Dad and The Cleveland Show would both have video games, so that Chris Chan would make several videos about them.

I also think a few Nicktoons like The Angry Beavers or Invader Zim should get their own video games as well.

Agree, but at the same time I haven't played all the ones that currently exist so its possible one of them is actually good. I've played the same SNES one you did and didn't mind the racing stage but then hated the side-scroller stage.

There's also one for Playstation, Gameboy (this is Japan-only and based on the Late 90s anime), Arcade, and there's a multiconsole one based on the movie which I've heard is actually good.

I'm actually pretty fond of Ren & Stimpy: Time Warp for the SNES.

There were a couple of games based on the 2002 He-Man property, but none of them were the least bit fun. I wanted a fighting game placed in that universe so bad.
 
Adult Swim originally had a Metalocalypse video game in the works with Konami on board for a 2010 release, but it was quietly cancelled. But I do wish for a Superjail or Venture Bros. game.

Thundarr the Barbarian. Awesome looking world designed by Alex Toth and Jack Kirby. Wide variety of settings and character designs to pull from. The main character is he-man with a lightsaber after huffing petrol.

Ren & Stimpy deserve a new game. It had a few but they were all shitty or mediocre at best.

I know there's a bunch on the SNES and one on the NES but I've only played two of them. The Sega Genesis one (Stimpy's Invention) and the GameGear one (Shaven Yak). The former is solid but requires PRECISE platforming in order to progress, so it's one of those "aritifically hard" games, while the latter is more enjoyable if you play the Brazillian Master System version since you can see more of the level and not be surprised by retarded shit due to the GameGear's zoomed-in resolution.

Super autism:
A looney tunes 'super hero' style Avengers game and film.
Bugs Bunny - leader, master of disguise and deception
Daffy Duck - Demolition expert, cigar-smoking-heavy-gun-toting bad arse
Wile E Coyote - Inventor and all around technical genius
Road Runner - The Flash
Tasmanian Devil - The Hulk
Yosemite Sam - weapons expert/dual-wielding pistol.

Make the game in the cartoony/cloudy artstyle if it's an action adventure, or go whole hog and make it an RPG/Isometric squad-based RPG.

Didn't they make a Looney Tunes superhero show at one point which was really fucking stupid and got cancelled after like the first or second season?
