Game: Zelda

Style: High quality anime. Similar to Studio Ghibli  

Cast: Doesn't really matter as the movie would focus on visual storytelling. Just get experienced Japanese or English actors for the minor roles

Changes: None really... just focus on not making the story/adventure feel obnoxius or obvious.  

Studio: Ghibli/Aardman Animation. Use animators from Ghibli to deliver beautiful art and scenery and compile it into animation. Use writers and story consultants from Aardman to help reinforce the limited dialogue style. A good example of movies like these is Shaun the Sheep or Wallace and Gromit, both from Aardman.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Holy crap... This movie could either be really good or really bad. Would be unique for a video game movie though

Here's a realistic one which'll actually work

Punchout!!

Style: western live action

Changes:

Include a plot which is decent and is interesting for a boxing movie

Cast:

Someone who matches Little Mac's physique and is a determined but smart person

A black coach who's the type to turn anything into a motivational speech

Studio: i mean, Idk. Perhaps 21st century? As long as they're good honestly

Punchout is a realistic choice which can work as a movie.



Man, this is a hard one! I have some ideas floating around in my head. Would love to see a Metroid movie.

So basically Creed? 



Video Game : Metroid

Style : Live Action

Director : Guillermo Del Toro (The master of horror, suspense, and action - as well as video games and anime appreciation)

Cast:

Samus : Charlize Theron

....uhhhhhhh..... other ... people too?

Story/Changes :
Samus is called by the Federation on a secret mission to check out the distress call made by scientists on some planet with a weird name . Along the way she finds information about a creature known as a "Metroid" that the scientists were experimenting with, and then Space Pirates confront her and try to capture the specimens, etc etc. You know the dealio. She is also being stocked by a mysterious Bounty Hunter who's allegiance is unknown. Obviously this is pretty much every Metroid Game but what can I say lol. The film would mostly be made through visual storytelling with long shots and would require less dialogue then your average film, while still guiding the viewer a bit by acting as the beginning of the Metroid story. I would also like this to be the first time since Childhood for Samus to see Ridley. Controversial i know, but as someone who's only played Prime 1 and has had the story of the other games told a bit(mostly Other M which I know too well) I would love a scene done right where Charlize Theron confronts Ridley. I want the other bounty hunter hunting samus to act like the mirror image of what Samus could have been if she had turned evil , but not in a cartoony way like Dark Samus. more like a hunter who hunts Samus for a secret reason, and then after they're both at their wits end they exchange some interesting dialogue about why Samus is doing what she's doing. Obviously don't overplay it too much, one of the things that's cool about Metroid is that Samus just kind of takes jobs and then saves the universe consequentally, but a little bit more of a reason than "it's just my job" or "for the money" would be cool. Linking it back to Ridley killing her family would be cool. There probably is an official reason that I don't know cause i've only played one fookin game in the series lmao . It would be like seeing two skilled bounty hunters clash until their last breath.

Studio : 20th century fox?

Studio : ...Warner Brothers?

I was on board until the WB part.

I always think of Mad Max Fury Road as the example of the kind of visual storytelling I would want in a Metroid movie, but was never sure about George Miller directing - Charlize Theron however, I definitely see being a good Samus.

Well to be fair, I put a question mark. I don't know what studio would be good for it. 

Paramount Pictures made that movie Arrival. Maybe them idk

Also nah, George Miller has always been good at a very particular set of skills(lmao)

I don't know why... But I think Jeremy Renner as Little Mac could work. Probably just me though.

Yeah, there are definitely problems that are inherent in it, but that doesn't mean that it has to be a poor movie. Actually, I really like the Street Fighter movie, I don't care what anyone says, that movie is great entertainment.

Only because most video game movies have been done by people who didn't care, or even know, about the source material. Many video game cartoons have also had that problem (like DiC Entertainment's Street Fighter cartoon, or Ruby Spears' Mega Man cartoon).

No, just because it's stupid. Video games are interactive, while movies are not. If you make a movie from a game you're not adapting the video game. You're adapting a random script that was once attached to a video game. You might as well adapt any other random script.

And who are they for?

The gamers would rather have a game. The movie goers don't know the game so it might as well be an original movie. And the general movie goer will certainly not run out after the movie and buy the game, so it sucks as promotional material too.

People who like a video game want another game. Making a movie is a pointless endeavor.
