/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm glad I read only a tiny bit of your post before just skipping to your final sentence. after reading your rating I don't need to bother with the rest of your post. thanks for spacing it that way. hidden

>>6463979
You sound salty. lol

Definitely SMB for me.
I also like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter to varying degrees. Probably as a kid, MK was also my favorite one. I watched SMB in theatres back in 93 and while I thought some of it was cool, I was a bit weirded out by how different it was from the video game, although I did like how they adapted Mario's jumping mechanics by doing these moon jumping boots, or the scene when they both appear wearing the red and green outfits was pretty iconic, but it was later that I started appreciating the movie more for other reasons.
The dystopian dino-punk setting (which now I know, had work by the guy who actually worked on Blade Runner's scenography), all the practical effects, all the attention to detail, obscure references to the games that I didn't pick up back then (Toad as the guy on the street playing guitar, Spike being named after a rare enemy from SMB3 who only appears in 1 level). I also fucking love Dennis Hopper as King Koopa. Back when I was a kid, I was disappointed that Koopa wasn't an actual dino-turtle like in the games, and that the only appearance of him as a dino was at the very end for like 1 second, but now I enjoy the fuck out of every single second Dennis Koopa is on screen. It's like Frank from Blue Velvet got into the Mushroom Kingdom.
I also like the chemistry between Bob Hoskings and Leguizamo, even though they went on record saying it was their worst memory ever and yeah, we all know how disastrous the production of the movie was, but I still think they work pretty good together on the movie.
It's weird, but I like this movie more and more each time I re-watch it. I never find a single boring moment in it. It's like a mix of childhood nostalgia, and actually appreciating new things as an adult that I didn't pick up back then, which doesn't happen with MK or SF movies.
I still haven't watched the Sonic movie, but I want to, mostly for Jim.

>Sonic does the Fortnite Dance
>Best videogame movie ever


Fuck off, on my book, any movie a trendy scene will never be the best at anything.
Mortal Kombat movie was better and it was made in the 90's, no time skip cheating.

>>6463964
The way the year is going. Sonic might win the Oscar.

>>6464091
This would be hysterical.

>>6463964
>>6463990
But none of these are even as good as Double Dragon: the Movie.

The Pikachu and Sonic movies really were both good but I don't think there can ever be a better video game movie than Mortal Kombat just because it can never be the 90s again.

Also it's pretty obvious the Sonic movie is fishing for Mario with all that "mushroom world" shit. Wasnt subtle.

>>6464110
man of class and dignity right here

>>6463990
Yup. Despite it's flaws, SMB was a pretty awesome movie. As for the Sonic movie, Jim Carrey certainly makes it worth watching. I love every scene he's in.

>>6464063
I don't play Fortnite and could care less about 1 scene of him dancing. So you could fuck off with your nitpicking.

>>6464091
Well Jim Carrey did have a great performance in that movie and I find Sonic way more fun to watch than any other movie that came out this year. So you might be right.

>>6464110
Double Impact is a way better and more accurate Double Dragon movie than Double Dragon.

>>6464125
There's just one thing the Mortal Kombat movie did not have...blood and gore. It could have easily been an R-Rated video game movie and be completely accurate to the games.

As for the Mushroom World, well the director did say he wants a shared universe with both Sega and Nintendo characters. Also there was Mushroom Hill Zone from Sonic & Knuckles.

>>6464308
True.

>>6464442
I have that movie. The best scene on their was a naked Chun Li. I own it on Blu-Ray.

>>6465118
>Double Impact is a way better and more accurate Double Dragon movie than Double Dragon.
I was memeing, DD is a terrible movie.
Double Impact is kino and one of the best Vandamme movies.

>>6465142
Indeed.

KEEP ON CALLING! KEEP ON CALLING! KEEP ON CALLING!
OMAE NO TAMEEEEEE NIIIIIIIIIII
MY DARLING

Ace Attorney was good

>>6465210
I haven't seen that one. Is there nudity in that movie?

>>6465265
Another movie I haven't seen yet.

Nah the best video game movie is Uwe Bolls Postal adaptation... Ok no its not but its one of my guilty pleasures. Its like the one time Uwe Boll actually played postal 2 and actually understood about the game to a degree before making the movie. Zach Ward did his best with what he was given. Its bad but its entertaining to me.

>>6463964
I think as a movie on its own sonic is your typical cgi/live action road trip buddy film we've seen a billion times with shitty cartoon adaptations. As a Video Game movie its easily one of the best video game movies I've seen in years. Shame its gonna be hella dated because of the fortnite dances and that one obligatory fart joke we see in all these kinds of movies. Not saying I hate fortnite just that fortnite dancing is gonna be hella dated in a few years just like Minecraft was REALLY fucking dated for years before its revival in 2018.

>>6465464
Also, the keanu reeves dicksucking that redditors love to do. I like keanu reeves as much as the next guy, he's a good actor and a down to earth man, but goddamn, get the fuck off of his dick.

>>6465464
>>6465481
I can over look the Fortnite dance, praising Keanu Reeves and the fart joke. It's just a small part of the movie, not a deal breaker for me. I can't think of many cartoon/cgi live action adaptions that are as good as Sonic. I've seen Garfield, The Smurfs, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Detective Pikachu, none of them are as fun and entertaining as Sonic The Hedgehog. I think the reason for this is because 1) Jim Carrey. 2) It feels more like a comic book movie than a video game movie. 3) Sonic The Hedgehog is what the Super Mario Brothers movie should have been.

>>6465729
>Sonic The Hedgehog is what the Super Mario Brothers movie should have been.
Mario being a CGI mascot as a companion of an unknown human that's not in the video games?

>>6465729
Jim Carrey made a great Dr Robotnik. I was a little concerned about his performance but after watching it, there's honestly no other actor I know of besides Eggmans current VA that could pull off eggman's over the top evil antics so well.

>>6465785
Goofy and over the top villains is Jim's specialty, and in a way, this movie shows that he's still got it.

>>6463964
Due to the racemixing I cannot give it a top score regardless, but beyond that, they did a great disservice not using more music from the games, especially in the slow-motion sequence and other action-y sequences.

>>6463964
I would have been excited about this movie like 20-25 years ago, but I'm not the target audience any more

>>6465795
Damm you actually racist? I thought it was a joke.

>>6465825
Anti-miscegenation isn't racism. Also if you're creating more mutts in the world, please kill yourself.

I'm still kind of amazed the film turned out as well as it did, I can't be the only one expecting a complete, unmitigated disaster when it was announced, I couldn't believe it was even being made.

>>6465464
I'm too old to even know what the Fortnite dance is, but I found the blatant Olive Garden product placement a bit irritating.

>>>/v/
>>>/tv/
not fucking retro and barely video games

>>6465427
Yeah, everything about the Postal movie feels like late-night cable trash with awful jokes and abysmal acting, but at the same time... It's Postal, why wouldn't it be trashy and offensive? You're right, somehow Boll's own weird sensibilites perfectly aligned with it, and he managed to pull it off. And Zach Ward has been a good sport about the whole thing, I liked that he showed up again in Paradise Lost

>>6465750
That's not what I said at all. Super Mario Brothers should have been video game accurate. The only thing that would remain CGI are Mario's enemies.

>>6465785
Indeed. His performance was fantastic. I love it when he goes over the top.

>>6465793
He sure does.

>>6465795
There's nothing wrong with race-mixing. Just because you grew up with a father who owns a KKK hoodie and taught you "race-mixing bad", does not mean you have to grow up to be like him. Also a white man dating a black woman seems to piss off racist black men. I've done it before when I dated a very young & super hot black woman. With her being 18 and me being 33 at the time, yeah it was bound to trigger them.

>>6465802
This movie would not have been possible 20-25 years ago. The CGI wouldn't have been good enough. Honestly even the Super Mario Brothers movie should have waited until 2020 for a movie.

>>6465960
Yup, even I am too old to know what the Fortnite is. And yes the Olive Garden product placement was annoying and we got it twice.

>>6465961
It's based on the original Sonic The Hedgehog game, so it is retro. Even if it was called Sonic Adventure The Movie, it would still be based on a retro game(1999).

>>6466369
>Super Mario Brothers should have been video game accurate
But how is SMB (a movie which has both Mario and Luigi as protagonists) less video game accurate than Sonic (a movie that has Sonic and... some random human from the real world as protagonist)?

>>6466380
They made Koopa a human, for starters. I mean I understand they didn't have the budget to make him this huge monstrous reptile nor did they have the budget to make Mario gain power ups in the Mushroom kingdom, but if they had waited on making this movie until the CGI caught up, I think it definitely could have been video game accurate. I still like the movie for what it was, but it certainly doesn't resemble the game. Also Sonic has met humans from the real world before. Robotnik, the human citizens seen in Sonic Adventure and even a that one Princess from Sonic '06(I don't know or care for her name, since I never played that game).

>>6466463
I get what you mean, but this Sonic movie isn't really based in any of the Sonic video games either, it's a stand-alone buddy comedy movie, which happens to have Sonic in it (and Jim Carrey as Robotnik, which is great).
I feel Mario does more with the Mario lore, than Sonic movie does more with the Sonic lore. In Mario you see a fucked up version of the Mushroom Kingdom, you have the actual mushroom king (turned into actual fungus), and Koopa (stellar representation by Dennis Hopper) is not really a "human", he's an evolved tyranosaur. Which yes, it's not like the games, and it's batshit insane, but that's part of the charm of the movie.
I'm not arguing Mario is "like the video game" (although I do think it has more references to the games, than the Sonic movie does), but I'm saying, the Sonic movie isn't really "like the Sonic games" either, it's even further from the games than the Mario movie is.
You do have a point with non-retro shit like Sonic 06, but when I think Sonic, I mostly think the classic 2D Sonic. I want to see a modern movie that expands on the Sonic lore, or at least play around with it like the Mario movie did.
The Mushroom Hill at the end was interesting, it should have had more of that, instead of Sonic running around the real world. Maybe if they make a Sonic 2...
Also while humans might not be all that weird in Sonic, making one of the main protagonists a human is weird. It should have been Sonic and Tails, or just Sonic.

>>6466463
>they didn't have the budget to make him this huge monstrous reptile
They could have made him with practical effects, no need for CGI. In fact, one of the reasons the Mario movie is so beloved now is because it's mostly practical effects and not CGI.
They could have made a monstruous reptile version of King Koopa, like they did with the Goombas and some other baddies, but they probably wanted to take advantage of the fact they had Dennis Hopper in the set. His antics are just much better with whatever SFX costume (or CGI) they could have come up with.

I wish Castlevania could've gotten a great animated movie in the 90s
Instead we got this, I know it's a show but the first season was literally just like movie awkwardly separated into episodes, and that's when it was decent.

>>6466567
I just pretend Vampire Hunter D (1985) is a Castlevania anime.

>>6466574
It's very similar, and probably one of my favorite anime movies so same, even so it would've nice it actual Castlevania could've gotten that love, ever since I was a kid I've always wanted Castlevania to be adapted into some kind movie or show and that was literally the reason I watched Captain N, despite Simon being a fucking mockery of the who he is in the game.

>>6466597
For my castlevania-ish fix, I like the Conan the barbarian movie, and also, Jason and the argonauts.
At this point it's unlikely we'll get a good adaptation of Castlevania, and maybe it's best that it stays as a video game.

>>6463964
Sonic ova was pretty great.
Fatal fury ova's were good
The first street fighter alpha movie was fantastic
Samurai Shodown ova was a guilty pleasure
And there's alot of good shows based on games like parappa the rapper, wild arms, and ace attorney.

>>6466567
I heard they made Alucard gay

>>6466613
Van helsing in bram stoker's Dracula gives me a Castlevania feel. There's some good scenes in it

https://youtu.be/W6trgojLFEw

>>6466658
Well he does get fucked in the ass

>>6463964
Is that you Chris Chan?

>>6466815
If it was Chris, he wouldn't have seen this movie just recently. He probably went to theaters on release day.

>>6466815
>>6466818
HIS ARMS ARE NOT BLUE

>>6466830
Despite the severe autism, he was right.

>>6466502
>It should have been Sonic and Tails...
There was no Tails in the first game, which is why they teased him at the end, setting it up for Sonic 2.

>>6466535
True, Dennis Hopper was one of the main reasons I liked the Super Mario Brothers movie.

>>6466567
I agree.

>>6466638
Speaking of good shows based on games, I liked The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog show much better than Sonic SatAM.

>>6466815
I have no idea who that is. If he's a big fan of Sonic, he probably would have seen it in theaters. I usually don't watch new movies until it comes out on Blu-Ray.

>>6466857
>I have no idea who that is
oh boy are you in for a ride.
Also, regarding AOStH and Sonic SatAM, I'll just copy-paste something I wrote back in February (which also was on a thread about the Sonic movie lol):
It was kind of shitty, but at the same time it was so fucking cool to see Sonic as a cartoon on the TV.
I remember when my cable service finally got the channel that had the Sonic cartoons I went absolutely bananas. Admittedly, I was waiting for SatAM (which I knew because of a Sega VHS I had, that had the opening scene, I must have watched that a hundred times, the hype was off the roof). When AoStH came up on TV, I was weirded out and a bit turned off, since I expected the SatAM opening. But still watched it, and kept wondering what the fuck was up and why wasn't it SatAM. Eventually, I managed to catch SatAM too, which this cable channel also had, but didn't air as often as AoStH. In the end I ended up watching AoStH more, and barely have any memory of watching the actual SatAM cartoon.

>>6466862
I could never wake up in time to watch Sonic SatAM, and any time I did, it wasn't as fun as AOStH. I would normally catch AOStH everyday after school. I remember I would also buy the Sonic comic books every month. It seems to combine characters from both AOStH and Sonic SatAM in that comic. Somehow the comic managed to make sense out of it. Either way, I find AOStH way more enjoyable. Sonic SatAM took itself way too seriously.

>>6465265
>implying that japan has a fair juridical system.

>>6464110
Double Dragon is one of the few movies that is terrible to the point of actually being unwatchable.

worst video game movie ever, unless you're 12 yo

There are two Metal Gear Solid motion comic animated movies that were included in The Legacy Collection for PS3.
These movies are really great adaptations of MGS1 and MGS2, and the comic book style that is also an imitation of Yoji Shinkawa's style is amazing, even if the actual animation is very limited.
It looks like the comic book cutscenes in Peace Walker.
I especially love the added scenes that were made for the comics.
The movie adaptations managed to compress the games into a two-hour long movie (for MGS1) and a three-hour long movie (for MGS2) while adding new scenes.

Even if you don't have a PS3, you can still watch the movies on any Blu-ray player and these movie adaptations alone make Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection worth buying even if you already own the games or don't own a PS3.

Anyways, the Sonic movie is in second place for me with the Metal Gear Solid movies tying in at first place.

>>6467450
>Phoenix Wright
>ever implying the legal system isn't batshit stupid

>>6467450
The entire point of Gyakuten Saiban is that Japan's legal system is rigged as fuck to always convict the defendant. That's why the protagonist is a hero for getting his clients acquitted, something which very rarely happens in Japan (99% conviction rate).

>>6463964
What about TRON?
>>6467763

>>6463990
Jim Carrey overacts in everything he's in.
>>6464063
The best thing about Mortal Kombat was the theme song.
>>6465795
I felt that way about the avgn movie, kissing a nig is unforgivable.
>>6466369
Race traitor libtard.

>>6467631
I disagree. Sonic fans, no matter how old they are definitely love this movie. I'd know because I'm 38 and I love this movie.

>>6467763
I've never seen it.

>>6467901
>What about TRON?
I haven't seen it, but it technically counts as a retro video game movie, despite not being based on any video game at that time.

>Race traitor libtard
I'm actually a conservative and I am a mixed race Latino who just happens to look white. Nice try, Alt-Right Incel.

>>6463964
What's wrong? Cant shill this garbage in /tv/ because the thread degraded into 12 people calling you nigger and fag?

This is off topic here. Go fuck off.

>>6467909
It had a sequel in 2010, there were video games based on it and took place in a game.
Spic lover, you and others like you will pay when the race war starts.

>>6464063
You kidding me? Mortal Kombat is shock-full of references. Just because they weren't called "memes" doesn't mean they didn't exist.

>>6467915
>>6467919
>Samefagging

>>6463964
>Best Video Game Movie Ever Made?
Probably FF7 or FF9.
Does FF7R count as retro in any sense?? Because that's my favourite anime game movie.

>>6467940
Haha! Wow. Upvoted!

Edit: Thank you for the gold, kind stranger!

Rampage is my favorite. You have The Rock using sign language and a grenade launcher to help a giant gorilla fight a giant wolf and giant alligator. It's pants-on-head retarded, but it's fun as fuck.

>>6467940
Considering the fact that there's more FMV than game play, I guess that counts as a "movie".

>>6466862
Funny enough, my first exposure to AOSTH and SatAM was the early 2005 days of youtube back when they uploaded pirated episodes in 10 minute batches. I managed to get the boxed sets of both shows back in 2007

>>6468590
And me being the autistic 7 year old who wasnt on the right meds I was, I my treatment of the case and disks was abysmal. Dvds were scratched or lost, cases were broken, and TO THIS DAY I still regret mishandling them like I did.

Kind of a shame they couldnt get Gary Coleman in that movie (You know, cuz he was dead). Mini Me did alright as a replacement.

>>6463964
this is satire, all you need is the last line to figure that out. glad i only read that then completely ignored the rest, pretty good bait anon

>>6463979
>*reads the whole text*
>haha i disagree didn't even read it lmao xDDD

>>6468736
It's not bait. I gave it an A+ because it's highly enjoyable and rewatchable. Even more enjoyable & rewatchable than Joker.

>>6468086
I love that movie.
