Why did magical girls not port well into video games...

I think it's mostly because merch outsells any possible profits from Magical Girl vidya. Even hyper famous and long lasting franchises like Precure have had just a handful of basic games.
Which is a shame because it shouldn't be complicated to make a Precure beat em up or a Madoka TPS. We even had a decent attempt at a SRPG with Super Heroine Chronicle years ago but nothing has come out since then, so maybe there are more underlying factors like licensing deals or productions costs that scare committees from contacting gaming studios.
Strangely enough, not even the JP indie scene has put something decent MG related.
Owen Carter
Yeah, pretty much
Dylan Bailey
Magical girls are too erotic
Jonathan Parker
What is the purpose of the heart cutout to reveal her navel?
Jason Rodriguez
it's veryerotic
Thomas Watson
its for ryona
Wyatt Ross
I'm thinking about the Rayearth Saturn game.It is well-liked though I have a hard time thinking it is the same kind of magical girl as Sailor Moon or Sakura.
Angel Cruz
>also jill
Jason Lopez
You mean like magical ryona where she twists in pain when the bad guys drain her energy?
Christian Price
Yeah, I think Rayearth is Magical Girl, but sometimes the definition is stretched so much out that even Wonder Woman counts as one.
Cooper Sanchez
>if leotard then magical girl
that sounds stupid
Carson Gonzalez
no.
Oliver Anderson
I don't mean leotard, just "woman with powers" I especially chose WW as a far-out example because of how Lynda Carter's transforms in a way that some would consider Magical Girl
Parker Parker
Noah Reyes
that is still stupid
Blake Parker
Levi Morgan
Rayearth is Magical Girl. They just also happen to have Magical Mechs
Leo Miller
Go find any hoe in the street for that. Magical girls are for bullying in magical ways

Nobody really gave them a serious effort.
John Baker
That's my point, if the definitions were stretched any further Mario or Goku could as well be considered male maho shoujo
