Animated Adaptations of games or anything related to an animated medium based off a game.
37 Games
Got a 3 season anime green lit by Netflix with its 4th and final season on the way. Not exactly based off this game per say but Alucard is in it and this is the Alucard game sooo
I think this is made by the Castlevania dudes but nobody really liked it?
Changes to come with more info.

During the age when ufotable was making mid adaptations of bamco IPs.
One-off animation called "Tales of the Rays: Everlasting Destiny" which depicts the 3rd arc of the game called "Fairy's Requiem."
Had a one-off animation that mostly just advertises the game based off the opening hours of the plot.
Had a one-off advertising animation based off the opening hour of the game and a full-fledged show a year later.
Had a few lore stuff added to the Zestiria anime and an episode based off the 2nd hour of the game.
11 episode OVA series.
26 episode animated series that basically adapts the game to a T.
Except everyone now has Jaundice.

13 episode animated series.
Short 4 episode OVA that jumps all over the games plot and is very disorienting.

REMEMBER HOW BAD THE ANIMATION WAS?
I DO.

Had a few animated shorts that were apparently aided by Toonami?
Had an animated short in the art style used in game.
Full 25 episode series that adapts the story with its own personal spin in a few areas.
12 episode series with more Focus on Marie and also if you were playing NG+
A 4 Movie series that also takes some liberties on how the plot unfolded.
Had a one-off animation to advertise the game and eventually a full-fledged 27 episode series.
A part of Blazblue: Alter Memory that got blasted through with no pacing in barely 2 episodes.
Majority of Alter Memory was spent adapating this game with its own spin on things.
BRO WHAT THE FUCK
Yeah apparently this happened.
12 episode series that takes place between 1 and 2 depicting Dante with Major Depression lmao.
I think the Street Fighter description applies here too.
Bro there's so many different versions of this series animated I dont even know where to begin.
Pay me lmao.
Pay me lmao.
Animated series called "Fate/Extra: Last Encore" which deviates heavily from the source material.
Got 2 seasons.
Got 2 seasons.
Multiple animated adaptations of each route of the game.
Fate route animated by Studio DEEN in 2006.

Heaven's Feel getting animated as a movie trilogy also by ufotable.

Multiple animated adaptations based off story arcs that occur within the game.
VN which got an anime adaptation that was very poorly received by fans of the original work.
Prequel animated movie called Kingsglaive and a short 5 episode OVA series called Brotherhood which explains backstory for the party members.
Animated Sequel Movie called Advent Children, which then got a re-release called Advent Children Complete which adds scenes to the movie.
Prequel anime called ".Hack//Roots"
A 24 episode animated series with 3 OVA's to its name.
A 2016 reboot movie to revitalize the IP. I'd put the 2016 game here but it's obviously more of a vehicle for the movie than its own thing.
BRUH
B R U H

And Bayonetta: Bloody Fate
There are the Mario cartoons
And the Sonic shows like The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic X and Sonic Boom
Captain N has Kid Icarus and also Metroid
Zelda, Kirby, Pokémon, Donkey Kong, and Viewtiful Joe all had animated series. Tekken and Resident Evil have had animated movies. So have Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
The Zone of the Enders anime came out around the same time as the game.
Oh, Halo: Legends was dope
Namco time!
The Tower of Druaga (12-episode series that was reportedly awful), THE iDOLM@STER 2 (25 episodes + OVA), THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls (same), THE iDOLM@STER SideM (13 episodes + a special episode;misandry clearly at work), Wonder Momo (5 mini-episodes, these are genuinely terrible), and maybe the ShiftyLook Mappy cartoon if you stretch the definition of animation a bit?
There's also THE iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia, but counting that would be like including a hypothetically animated version of the Super Mario Bros. movie.
Aside from that, there's the Ace Attorney anime, which apparently adapts the first three games over 47 episodes.

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse should be on here, since it is what the Castlevania Netflix series is based on. Pokemon, of course, has an anime season for essentially every main game.
Trails in the Sky has a 2-episode OVA from 2011, FE1 has a 2-episode OVA from 1996, F-Zero: GP Legend's 51 episode anime came out before the game but F-Zero was a game beforehand and the inspiration for making it so ???, Halo Legends was a collection of 9 animated short films about Halo, Dragon Quest has had many adaptations but Dragon Quest: Your Story specifically uses Dragon Quest V (even if it includes a twist). Street Fighter has multiple animated series, such as the cartoon or anime film Street Fighter Alpha: Generations.
In the world of Visual Novels: Kanon, Clannad, Air, Planetarian, Little Busters, Rewrite and Angel Beats all got anime adaptations. Umineko and Higurashi also got anime adaptions. Steins;Gate got an anime adaptations that I'm actually in the middle of watching! Chaos;Head also got an anime series, along with Robotics;Notes. Dies Irae got an anime so bad it basically killed the company. Danganronpa got a 13-episode anime adaptation of the third game, Sakura Wars got a 25-episode anime in the 90s. School Days of course got a pretty infamous anime.
There's certainly many more I can think up, but this is what I have for now, hope it's useful!
