Any Studio Ghibli Movie
This shouldn’t even have to be said, really, but why in the world haven’t we ever gotten an official Studio Ghibli video game? There are countless Ghibli anime films that would translate perfectly into a charming video game world, but the closest we’ve ever gotten is Ni No Kuni, the collaboration between Level 5 and Studio Ghibli.
Just imagine being able to explore the bathhouse in Spirited Away, completing tasks and working a daily job. Or roaming around a fascinating fantasy world in Howl’s Moving Castle, or staving off the terrifying horde of demons in Princess Mononoke.
More than anything, Studio Ghibli’s art style would translate into a video game so well, with some gorgeous cel-shaded animation. We’ve already seen this in Ni No Kuni and Ni No Kuni II, and Yo-Kai Watch also sports a similar style.
The problem, of course, is that these are all original titles, and we don’t have any way to explore a digital world within one of Ghibli’s wonderfully imaginative creations.
Ni No Kuni was a great example of what Ghibli can do when collaborating with a game developer, and let’s hope it’s not the last we see of them.
