You know what would be nice? Kamen Rider Musou.

well duh, all of the merchandise and movies that spawned from it is a clear fact of that, but video game wise? come on, name one rider/toku game today that people cared not because it has those characters in it, but because its actually good game that anyone can enjoy, none comes to mind because every single one is a piece of mediocrity or sometimes, even worse
Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu.

Well, can you name for example Bleach game that "actually good game that anyone can enjoy"? Or you gonna say that Bleach is unpopular?
There are also Anime-fandoms, who have yet to receive game. Not "good", but any game.
So If we don't have "good" TokuGames, that doesn't mean that Toku is unpopular.
I think we just have to wait. Bandai will come up with something, I'm sure.

and it's not because they can't make one, its because they don't want to, take climax heroes for example, its made by eighting, of all people, which has made several decent fighters in their portfolio, that didn't stop CH from being a very mediocre fighting game with very simplistic mechanics, its not because they're incompetent, but because of the limited budget, resources, and the fact that bamco wanted it to be that way

if bandai thinks that the tokusatsu genre is important enough, obviously they would've cared to make a game with higher qualities that what we've gotten so far, they have no need to ask for KT just to make a decent musoulike, saint seiya is a proof of that, it's non KT game, but has a decent gameplay built in it, and it even manages to spawn an overseas release to boot, ranger cross doesn't have any one of those despite having a great potential to be a good musoulike.

my point is, i love tokusatsu, Japan loves it, all of you loves it, but game-wise, it will probably never be taken seriously by the ones who made the games.

Um, yeah...play All Rider Generations, and get back to me on that.

I liked generations, but man it' was a simplistic repetitive beat em up and nothing more. Sadly I have to agree, toku isn't really something that can easily spawn a good game in it's own regard. Sure the famicom beat em up was really good, but that was way back. Others are just cheap cash ins. We can't get good games based of tv or movie franchises even with bigger budgets (look any movie tie-in game), we are not going to get something really more than a fanservice from toku.

But kamen rider musoulike game is not really impossible. musou style gameplay is a go to along with fighting genre for a quick and universal gameplay.
Need a anime-tie in? It's either a fighting game or musoulike. No need to actually think about a unique gameplay.
 
I don't know that much about Musou, but I think the Rider Generation games are pretty much a 2d version of it.

Rider Generation is a 2D sidescrolling beat 'em up (much like Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, etc.). That's completely different from Musou. Musou is a game like Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors or Warriors Orochi.

Jetman for the Famicom
SD Hero Soukessen for the Famicom
Kamen Rider for the Super Famicom
Godzilla: Kaijuu Daikessen for the Super Famicom (you said Toku and Godzilla is a Toku)
The Great Battle series
The PS2 Kamen Rider games (excluding the first Climax Heroes)
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee for the GameCube

And I know you're gonna disagree with me on this one, but I think Rider Generation 1 for the DS is one of the best beat 'em ups ever made (despite being a little short). And the sequel for the PSP looks even better.

EDIT: I forgot a couple more awesome ones!

Do you remember Shatterhand for the NES? Well for the Famicom, it was released as Solbrain (named after the Metal Hero series of the same name). And believe me, that game is A LOT of fun!

And who could forget Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition for SNES?

I have had this discussion before with IRL commrades. Most combat heavy fandoms could benefit from the Musou treatment, but Kamen Rider could potentially be the best. Plus considering they have released a Gundam, One Piece and Saint Seiya Musou, I don't see why a Rider Musou is out of the question. With the recent decision to only include Japanese voice overs in Warriors Orochi 3, Sengoku Basara being released on the PS3...as Sengoku Basara, and a general increase in gamers welcoming Japanese games that are closer to there original states, there may even be a chance of a U.S. release for the game. Assuming the mechanics are astounding, Toei would allow it, and U.S. citizrns suddenly get a mass infection of Toku fever brought about by a prime time airing of GARO. Eh, anything can happen.
