Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu
Akira Toriyama himself actually played this game with his wife over the course of two days. He commented in an issue of Weekly Shounen Jump that “It was pretty rough dying immediately from a game over, but it was faithful to my source material and I was very excited about the differences. They weren’t all that far removed from it, and I really liked Konpei”.
Soul Sacrifice
Another way in which Soul Sacrifice is surprisingly different from its predecessors is its weapon and combat systems. The main mechanic is represented in the name of the game itself: Each enemy you defeat represents a choice to be made. Do you save them or sacrifice them?
ゲームは変わった/The Game Has Changed

Sakura Taisen
With this star-studded team, it’s no surprise that Sakura Taisen would go on to become one of the best selling original Saturn games of all time. Its success had less to do with the talents of each individual involved though, and more to do with the the strong core concepts of the game and how everything came together into one fantastic package.
Gegege no Kitarou: Youkai Daimakyou
And though the game tells no story on its own, fans of Gegege no Kitarou will find plenty to appreciate in the details.
