Most Pac games are published by namco, so not licensed. Unless stuff like the 2600 or Tengen versions of the game count?

Cool. So Konami licenses Castlevania to Konami?

I don't know why but it kind of surprises me that there are more Star Trek games than Mickey Mouse games.
Missed the licensed. oops
Disney in general is surprisingly sparing in the use of their properties in video games.
Are they? So many shitty licensed disney games for gb/gba/ds
Its just that they have bazillion licenses to use so a single one would be hard to cross the 100 games mark. If you put them altogether they would probably beat gundam quite easily
Super Robot Wars has 64

Already on the list.
Oh, that's a good one. It is technically a licensed property.

Street Fighter?
(Also Final Fight was originally known as "Street Fighter 89", and it takes place in the same universe. Characters crossover back and forth often. I don't know if that counts as another Street Fighter game.
And, of course, there's also the Capcom vs SNK spin offs, Marvel vs Capcom spinoffs. Plus, the Street Fighter EX series isn't listed for some reason.

If Tetris counts, then Shanghai probably does as well?
I remember a lot of shitty GBA shrek games. In fact i remember a lot of shitty GBA licensed games. shovelware paradise.

I kinda figured that Star Wars would be one of the most licensed properties outside of sports titles. Not surprised by Gundam either. Bandai loves to license out Gundam.

Smells like fresh rosebuds
The majority if which also count towards Gundams total, lol
Activision owns Shanghai and I imagine they published all the versions, so it wasn't licensed to anybody. Regardless, there's only two games in the series. Tetris, on the other hand, is owned by the Tetris company, which exists to license the property out to various publishers.

X-Men need more (good) games.
You're actually right, the thousands of shanghai versions licensed to everything possible back then were all done by Activision. How interesting.
Weird to know the game only had two "titles" though. Felt the versions were pretty different in each platform/computer but they still all count as the same game.

I've played EVERY Console or Handheld Gundam game (yes, even the Wonderswan and 3ds ones). Played a few of the mobile games, but nowhere near all, I may have dabbled in one or two of the PC98/MSX ones.
As far as Super Robot Wars games, I haven't played the two newest, but everything else (including the remakes of 1 and 2 for Vita and 3DS respectively an the mobile game) I've played.

What if... they started making Pokémon games based on the anime?
Ya know, thinking about that, I'm astounded that hasn't been done in all these years. Like not even a movie tie-in game?

Pokémon Yellow is loosely based on the anime but that's the only one I can think of.
EDIT: Oh and Pokémon Puzzle League has characters from the anime
Beaten
I rented Puzzle League once. It counts in the most technical sense, but with no real story or tie to the anime other than using its character designs its not really what I'd call "based off of". I think Snap comes closer to counting for reals than Puzzle League.
Naaah that still R/B/G with some nods to the anime an nothing more.
There are loads of PKMN spinoff games, series even, but none that follow or retell the anime as anime -> game tie ins usually go.

I'm surprised there aren't more Simpsons games considering it's been on TV forever.
Sesame Street has bit more than 40

It literally uses the anime's soundtrack and voice actors and uses footage from it as its cutscenes. If that isn't "based on the anime" then what is?
not enough.
