ITT: Nintendo franchises that would work as movies

I'll start: Luigi's Mansion

Hotel Mario

Can't think of a single one that'd work well.

I'd say Mario is the closest, but the characters are so devoid of personality these days

Zelda wouldn't work because with a beginning, middle and end, they'd need like 4 hours to do it justice

Really? You can't think of ANY?

NO

>I'd say Mario is the closest, but the characters are so devoid of personality these days

The comics show that it can easily be don'e, The right people need to handle it... without Nintendo's added impute.

...

Mario is a terrible franchise to adapt, despite it being a big brand, as it's basically impossible to represent all the weird random wacky crap and turn it into an acutal plotline.

Shit like Pikmin, Chibi-Robo or Starfox are way easier sells.

Metroid or Mother?

There was already a mario film, kids.

Fire Emblem

Mother wouldn't make sense as it's a game and story about the player.

Metroid would need a hell of a screenwriter to sort out that hot mess. We know what happened last time Nintendo tried their hands at the I'm cinematic thing

>I'd say Mario is the closest, but the characters are so devoid of personality these days
>these days
>implying the Mario & Luigi games aren't the only games to actually give them personalities
lmao

Doshin the Giant

I think the shorts proved that Pikmin could be adapted fairly well. Not as a film perhaps, but maybe a show or more shorts. While a direct retelling of the games would seem the most obvious, I want a sort of nature documentary focusing on the individual monsters on the Pikmin planet. Kind of like a compilation of Olimar's reports on the creatures from the two games in animated form.

>Metroid
I can't think of any films it could emulate to get an impression of how it'd be. Maybe if they handled Samus's exploration and conflict like they handled Batman in that new Batman film, maybe. The biggest problem I can see with Metroid is that it needs to somehow be a colourful picture that still conveys the dread of isolation.

Daily reminder John Woo's Metroid movie was literally the reason Other M happened

The script revolved around her origins and Nintendo freaked out because they thought they should be the one to fill out that backstory

>Implying the M&L characterisation is canon to the larger Mario mythos

Those interpretations of the characters would never be allowed in a modern Nintendo looking to capture the film market.

Shit would work, it'll just never happen.

Splatoon. Doesn't even matter if it's suited or not, it will happen anyway.
Good thing the franchise IS actually suited for that though

Live action pokemon with cgi.

>Pikmin with Pixar-tier visuals

Why, its not like Super Mario RPG

M&L is directly made by Nintendo

That's literally already happening tho

Nah, they're contracted off by Alpha Dream

Proof? Googles showing nothing besides fan films and speculation.

>Luigi's Mansion

Literally already exists

THR, a major trade publication were reporting that the rights were being auctioned, means it's happening even if no-one has acknowledged it officially

If they do Zelda it has to be some kind of original story, You can barely adapt any Zelda's story into an anime let alone a movie

Pikmin.

Luigi is hornier and much better than Eddie Murphy

It they're gonna make a Zelda movie, I hope Link doesn't talk.

Eternal Darkness
1080
Crusin'
Wave Race
Animal Crossing- oh wait. (this time, made by Disney)
