Honestly, many video games deserve their own animated series, but the biggest factor is who should work on it. Back in the eighties and early nineties, video game shows (and practically everything else for that matter) only existed as over-glorified commercials for the games. While it doesn't mean that some effort hasn't been put into the shows and nobody actually enjoyed them (Mario's animated series by Dic were so bad that they're good), there's no use denying the purpose of those cartoons.
If a new video game-based animated series must be made, then I think that fans of the games should work on them instead of money grubbing executives only wanting to sell games. I'm sure that sane fans have what it takes to create a production that is true to the spirit of the game itself and possibly expand upon its universe. That way, the chance of getting an actually enjoyable animated series becomes more probable and does not provide the same kind of embarrassment found in cheesy Saturday morning cartoons during the time the NES was still breaking news (I'm looking at you, Mr. "Excuse-me-princess").
