in gungrave's case quite literally, i cant believe i missed that. good suggestions!
Mega Man Legends?
bulk slash is deserving of a spot here
Streets of Rage 4 kinda has this vibe to me
Asura's Wrath, Vanquish, and Shock Troopers are dope
Rondo of Blood?
The game Majyūō (aka King of Demons) for the Super Famicom has the sort of vibe you'd get from the kind of late 80's / early 90's OVAs that would have rubbed elbows with Vampire Hunter D and Demon City Shinjuku on the Sci-Fi Channel's Anime Saturday.
Ninja Warriors Once Again, Silent Bomber, and ESP Ra.De. fit the list, I think.
Can't believe I forgot to mention Evil Zone. The whole game is basically "What if we took characters from a bunch of different anime OVAs from different genres and stuck them in a fighting game?" It even has "Next time, on Evil Zone" preview cards before each fight, each one themed after the character you're playing as. One of them even jokes that their adventures will get turned into an OVA.
If your reading this, I recomend you to add the Assault Suit Leynos/Valkien series, I genuinelly feel that those games are early-mid 90s OVAs about mech stories
The Cotton games give that vibe
