One Piece

Adapting an anime into a video game can be quite hard, especially since you have to somehow adapt all the narrative and story of an entire series and also add gameplay, without making it just a recreation of the show. And even though this is arguably easier with shonen anime, One Piece is a really long anime, it's actually still going after a thousand episodes. So, how do you turn this all into a game with no subtitles? Well, let's talk about it.

About the game

One-Piece for the Game Boy Advance was developed by Dimps Corporation and published by Bandai exclusively for the American Market. This game is centered in the East Blue Saga of the anime, being a loose adaptation of course. Join Luffy and his crew in one of the first arcs of the anime. Adventure awaits in the sea.

Platformer

The GBA was an excellent console for platformer games, and the same formula used in this game was later adapted by other anime games like Naruto Ninja Council, in which levels and abilities are used similarly. In One Piece you only get to play as Luffy, through six levels that consist of three stages each, one platformer part, one hybrid part that includes exploration and battle, and one "versus" stage which is more like a fighting game and works as boss battles.

Pros:

• Nice visuals
• Fun gameplay
• Great design

Cons:

• Short
• No replay value
