The almost universally dreadful results of the 30 year history of game to movie adaptations, particularly where Hollywood is involved, are highlighted here by Japanese movie fans in this unsurprisingly abysmal ranking.
1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Tokimeki Memorial
3. Street Fighter II
4. Tekken
5. Yakuza (Ryu ga Gotoku)
6. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
7. Resident Evil
8. Otogirisou
9. Onechanbara
10. Tomb Raider
The worst may yet be to come – after all, blockbuster game hits like Pong, Space Invaders and Tetris still seem promisingly untapped…
Sorry to ask, anyone have the link for tokimeki memorial, itried to find it but no luck thx.
Not a video game, But the boardgame “Battleship” is getting a movie.
Looks like Japanese don’t watch video game movies. These aren’t even the worst of the bunch.
King of Fighters movie should be added to the list.
One thing I really didnt like about that Chun-Li movie and this is more about common sense, the star wasnt even asian! Micheal Clarke Duncan however was the best possible choice for Balrog/Bison. Though in all honesty I wish they would decide on a permanant choice for Vega/Balrog’s hair color.
