I think 90s anime fans have an unusually interesting selection of modern video games because many contemporary games deliberately recreate the atmosphere of older Japanese animation while benefiting from modern technology. My first choice would be Persona 5 Royal because its bold character designs, dramatic presentation, urban setting, colorful menus, and stylish soundtrack can feel like watching a long-running anime where the player controls the protagonists. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim would be another excellent choice because it combines visual-novel storytelling, science fiction, giant robots, time-travel concepts, and an unmistakably Japanese animated aesthetic that should appeal to people who grew up watching mecha and sci-fi anime. Scarlet Nexus is another natural fit because its psychic abilities, colorful characters, futuristic cities, and action-oriented storytelling feel like they could have come directly from a late-90s or early-2000s television series. For fans of fantasy adventure, Tales of Arise offers dramatic character relationships, exaggerated abilities, and cinematic battles that resemble the sort of RPG anime adaptation that might have been popular during that period. Granblue Fantasy: Relink is another strong candidate for people who enjoy colorful fantasy parties and spectacular special attacks. I would also include Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, not because it looks like a traditional 90s anime, but because its exaggerated characters, melodrama, comedy, and larger-than-life situations capture the spirit of Japanese entertainment from that era. Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is perhaps the most obvious choice because it directly connects modern gaming with one of the defining anime franchises of the 1990s. Finally, Street Fighter 6 belongs on the list because fighting games were an enormous part of the gaming culture surrounding 90s anime fans, and its modern presentation preserves the larger-than-life personalities and rivalries that made classic fighting games so appealing. What connects all eight isn't simply "anime graphics"; it is the feeling that the player is participating in a dramatic animated world filled with distinctive characters, rivalries, exaggerated personalities, memorable music, and larger-than-life situations.
