MLP video game.

[CastletonSnob 3,030]

Why has there not been an official MLP video game yet? I would definitely play an open world MLP game where you can make friends with ponies, or do missions for them.

What do you think, would you play it?

[Sugar-Fable 27]

I would play it for sure! 

Although it's not official, there is an upcoming game that seems similar to what you mean called Legends of Equestria. http://www.legendsofequestria.com/

I've been wondering the same thing. Doesn't Steven Universe even have a video game? I really don't understand why there hasn't been one for MLP by now. Well, if they ever come out with one, I'll definitely play it!

[Rainbow Glitterswirl 220]

Same here! I really wish they would! On one of the fan club pages there was a picture of a WiiU game but I couldn't tell if it was real or not but if it is I wish they would come out with one for other consoles!

Hasbro seriously needs to get into building a pony RPG after the movie. Strike when the iron is hot after all. They should have made one years ago, but hey better late then never right? lmao.

Eh, I doubt that any mlp game would be worth playing. I mean, it's going to be made for the target audience, and those kind of games aren't usually very fun. 

[Mirage 24,149]

I'm sure Hasbro would be concerned with the clopping thing and their brand. Meme's and art are one thing, playing games with kids online quite another. Other than that I share the same disappointment that there hasn't been anything.

I kinda envisioned a stand-alone RPG, like a turn-based anime style fantasy - Equestria meets Phantasy Star!

Bronies are too niche to have a game targeted at them?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, we aren't that big of a fandom nowadays.

I would love it, but for the target audience, I doubt there'd be much demand for what we want anyway, especially with online interaction. It's hard to control those things, and it would be too big a risk to put effort into if it could fail and hurt their reputation for any bad experiences online.

As much as I'd love that, Hasbro seems content in shitting out more phone games. Though this day and age, I think a FiM video game can work depending on the developer, there's already a reputable dev willing to make one in Wayforward. I can see an RPG or a platformer working for this

Spoiler

Though my dream MLP games are a Platinum-developed action game(preferably by Kenji Saito) and/or a Persona-like EQG game

Do you think a MLP video game would sell well?

We aren't?

[Prospekt 10,984]

I would absolutely love to play it. A 3D platformer or an RPG would be awesome. Though if I was in charge, I would make a game inspired by Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, with some Rune Factory-esque fantasy elements. You would design an OC avatar and settle in Ponyville, watching the events of the series (plus brand new stories) unfold around you while you make a living as a resident.

[Gestum 2,493]

It's to much effort and I doubt that it would sell well enough for it to be worth it. 

And even if Hasbro would make a game for some reason it wouldn't be made for us. It would be made for little girls.

Why wouldn't it be made for us?

Because the we aren't the target audinence for the franchinse. Little girls are and thus it would be made for them.

Doesn't mean little girls can't get good games

They can, but they have to tone down the difficulty  . Maybe some sort of building stuff might work, as long as it's like Harvest Moon rather than the farmville mobile one we got

The original Rayman's bright and colorful graphics disguise one of the hardest platformers of all time. You don't want to alienate little girls like that!

[AlbaTross 1,581]

I'd love a game of any kind really.  There seems to be a rather large overlap of gamers and Bronies, enough so that EB Games stores sell pony merch.  Of course, it's hard to say what genre would work best for that.  Then again, people will buy stupid stuff like Goat Simulator or Grass Simulator, so how about a Unicorn Simulator.  Oh, I got it!  How about something akin to the Atelier games starring Starlight Glimmer as Twilight's apprentice as she ventures out for ingredients for potions and partners with other characters like Trixie and Discord to battle all manner of hostile creatures of the Everfree Forest and other locations so she can safely return with whatever ingredients she searches for?

The only problem i can think of is what is it gonna be about? Is it going to be like a open sim world? Or there's a fan made game called Legend of Equestria which is pretty fun if you haven't tried it. You can talk and interact with people online there and get quests.

It would be interesting. There do exist an iOS video game of my little pony.

I really do hope there is a console/pc game that's either roleplay, platform, or adventure oriented. I have an idea where you get to play as your own character with customizable pony avatars (choices of female/male, unicorn/pegasus/earth pony, and other details such as cutie marks. For those with OCs, they can play through the game as your character.) You can interact and befriend other ponies (especially the mane six but also side and background characters). Not to mention visiting locations such as the ponies houses and businesses in Ponyville or visiting other parts of Equestria such as Canterlot, Cloudsdale, and the Everfree Forest. Maybe you can even play as any of the mane six and I can also see Spike acting as a guide.

I know there's already the phone game, but it runs through the freemium model which can sometimes take the joy out of playing. Finding gems is rather difficult and time consuming and the only way to speed things up and get more ponies/anything requiring gems is by paying real money. The game also starts feeling more repetitive later on.
