Honestly, it's a good thing there hasn't been many movies based on Nintendo properties. We don't need another Super Mario Bros.: The Movie in the form of a half-assed Zelda or Metroid movie.

Mario Mario & Luigi Mario.. LOL!

So.. Luigi is Mario's son, meaning it's father and son after all?

Luigi follows Mario's step but seems he was taken off for a while, i.e, I haven't seen him in new games other than Mario Kart and such. tbh, I'm not up to date with this.

What? No, they're brothers. Always been brothers. If you're talking about the movie, Luigi was Mario's "adopted" brother in the movie's story. The 'Mario' last name thing was just a joke to explain why the games are called Super Mario Bros. and not Mario and Luigi Bros.

Yeah I know that but it doesn't make sense, since it's Super Mario Brothers.

They screwed this one up also. :-\

I actually really enjoyed Super Mario Bros the movie when it was in theaters, of course I was like 5 or 6 at the time.  :D

I saw that when I was like 7.  The thing I hated most about it was that Yoshi was too realistic.

Honestly, I'm all for videogame movies. They are all so either awful or have nothing to do with the games they''re based on, or both.

Anyone remember the live action Zelda April Fool's joke a few years ago?

Something that that would be desirable in my eyes.

^ Yeah I like video game movies too.

Since I play Doom and Doom 3 especially, Doom 3 is the one I like most.

They made a movie it's actually great, watched and that was a nice time spent watching a good movie. And was also very funny.

Near the end it turned to a first person shooter perspective.

I gotta re-watch this again in 3D when it's out. It'll be crazy but awesome to see it.

Btw, one thing I really hated was that they were told to kill everyone, because they could be infected but not all were.
