Here's one you forgot: Sega Bass Fishing. Just think of the trailer:
"In a world where fish swim around peacefully....
.... One man will change everything with his VIBRATOR LURE"
Instant classic.
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.

There's already a Sonic The Hedgehog movie (I own it on DVD), so that's already out of the question...

I was going to suggest The Secret of Monkey Island, but that would never work with the whole Pirates of the Carribean thing going on. Too bad too, this probably could be made on a small budget.

I actually have part of a story worked out for a metroid movie, but knowing me I doubt anyone else would actually like it. Besides which its already taken.

The Earthbound idea isn't bad. You wouldn't be tempted to fall into the trap of taking yourself too seriously. Would be really hard to pull off though.

Theres Guardian Heroes. I know you said you didn't like the medival stuff, but it also has robots with giant lasers and Super Zur! Also, a super kung-fu bunny rabit.

Mega man,well:

Seriously though, I also worked out part of a story for this one.

Of course theres also Earthworm Jim. Plenty of material to work with too since there was a show and everything.

EARTHBOUND!!!

It would need to be CGI though...I don't think it would go well if they casted it like so:
Nicolas Cage as Ness
Amy Smart as Paula
DJ Quall as Jeff
That chinese guy from American Pie as Poo
Philip Hoffman as Pokey

...it just wouldn't work out with real actors!!!

LEAVE THIS GAME ALONE HOLLYWOOD FATCATS!!!

Oh man, it just came to me in one of those "DUH!" moments:

Duke Nukem: Dukepocalypse

It practically writes itself. And you could intentionally make it as campy as hell because that would be true to the game! Duke (as played by Bruce Campbell, of course) could just run around blowing stuff up and shouting stolen catch phrases the whole time.

Math Blaster :lol:

There was going to be a duke nukem movie a visit the website for once a year. Hasn't been an update in a about five years.

Nevermind the site seems to have finally been taken offline.

Ben did a Metal Gear Solid paradoy for one of his portables.

There so many charcters that if we did a KOF movie a lot of us could be in it.
I call either Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, or Geese.

Good Ideas (or maybe not)

BATTLE TOADS
area 51
Smash TV
Marvel VS Capcom 2
Bubsy
Zombies ate my neighbors
Demon Attack
Super Smash Bros.

Hey, actors worked out just fine for the Mother commercial in Japan. :lol: Earthbound was a pretty sweet game, but it's no match for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III in the SNES RPG category. By the way, does anyone know when Mother III is coming to America?

Did someone mention a Shenmue movie? (I think it was G2.) I thought they already made one and packaged it with Shenmue II?

Chrono Trigger / FF3 (VI) > Earthbound

RPG's are most suited for movie's though a game like Half Life might make a good movie too. A Zelda movie would rock but it would have to be like LOTR or something. You know: costs a lot, takes a lot of work, has a great cast and crew, etc. Which is quite hard to imagine for a video game movie, people don't take videogames scripts seriously in Hollywood.

If they ever make a Zelda movie with real life actors it would sell. A CG movie just doesn't seem to be able to attract the whole audience.
