The artist YinYangGio imagined several videogames getting animated adaptations, and even perfectly captured the classic animation styles

METAL GEAR SOLID - Like 80s G.I. Joe (and other cartoons of the era - the kind that blew their entire production budget on the intros and the rest of the show was lackluster animation)
RESIDENT EVIL - Like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (90s cel animation)
METROID - As late 90s anime
STARFOX - The Don Bluth movie we never got
defrostedtauntaun
I would've watched the shit out of these.
Hatsodoom
I saw the RE one and immediately went, "That's just Zombie Island." Which is strange because Cam Clarke is Metal Gear Solid.

Opinion: The vast majority of games would be significantly better suited to serialised TV shows instead of movies.
Seriously, give me 7 seasons of game-accurate lore/story from Mortal Kombat, done by HBO.
JokenPo0079
Reminds me of the Watchmen cartoon that was on Saturday mornings.

James Baxter animated Star Fox isnt what I need from this world, but it sure as hell is what I want.
unluckyandbored
Awesome.
TheMilliner
Does nobody really remember Captain N and the Game Master?
NoPantsOhClock
At least the Starfox movie didn't end up being a Ralph Bakshi flick. I know that some people in usersub might have appreciated that though.
CP3oh
It would've been really wierd and horny and shockingly violent. Worth at least one watch.
eronth
Even a bit of that signature CRT TV fuzz. That's some good 80s/90s tv look. I find I miss that CRT look more than I would have thought.
PipWhipple
I'd definitely watch these! Makes me wish 2D animation like this would return. I miss it.
1PoorThor
I would still be watching these.

Still kinda salty the ElfQuest deal fell through.
MultiFacets
Wendy Pini has recently posted in her social media that after fifty years of Hollywood letting 'em down, they would not try again. 'Cause get this: The latest attempt tried to eliminate Skywise entirely. And as much as I think the [spoilers] was a bad plan, the Pinis are right: There's no "ElfQuest" without the Cutter AND Skywise. (And besides, they already have an audio drama available, so close enough.)

Reminds me of the artist who recreated Don Bluth's iconic style for a hypothetical Mario movie: /gallery/what-if-don-bluth-made-mario-movie-tW7gQjw
PipWhipple
The absolute HAIR on that version of Peach!
TheFastpaws
That is also wonderful.
HelpTheWretched
Bucky O'Hare was basically Star Fox before Star Fox
TheFastpaws
Yep, we are in the wrong timeline.
TacticalSpoon
It would be more period correct if at random some of them were nearly unrecognizable redesigns.
DonkeyGoat
Dude, this is really good
Pasquinelthe2nd
I KNOW! I'd have been impressed with them matching just ONE of these styles, and they did ALL FOUR.
notsurewhattocallthis
I was about to say that there was a Star Fox cartoon... then remembered what I was thinking of was Bucky O'Hare... and I died.

I always felt they would be a perfect crossover.
TheRealSauceBoss
I grew up with Captain N and the Super Mario Bros Super Show / Mario 3 / World series and goddamn do I miss that period of time.
quicksilver1
As someone who owns the DVD'S of SMB3 and World, the nostalgia is real.
OozingRabbit
OMG! I can't remember how many times I played this from 10:03 over and over again, when I was a young teen...for cardio obviously.

Same.

I grew up with the youtube poops.
hyptosis
yeah same, it was only like two years for me but I remember those cartoons so fondly

Honestly, a Metroid cartoon would go hard. Personally, I wish Studio Ghibli would have done an animated Legend of Zelda.
itshairtime1234360
I just wish we didnt have to wait 10+ years for anything metroid its my fav nintendo ip
drousnavat
Honestly seems like Nintendo wants the IP to just die. My best friend loves Metroid and he is convinced that Nintendo hates the IP for some reason.

Two hours of camping with some cute mascot character (little leaf headed dudes prolly) followed by ten minutes of actual functional plot. But the cooking scenes would be fucking amazing. And Tingle would show up for exactly three minutes and for some reason be the main piece of merch for the movie.
LuminoZero
The Metroid Manga shows what we could have had. It's a fantastic read if you haven't already.
drousnavat
I have. I also have all the LoZ manga and a couple of the Mario ones. The Nintendo manga and Arkira Himikawa make some great stuff.
LuminoZero
The Oracle of Ages Manga was one of my favorites. Really gives Ralph some much needed attention AND shows Impa deadlifting a cow. What more could you ask for?
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
limited dialogue, moody atmosphere. Something like samurai jack in space.
drousnavat
Most if not all of the dialog should be through adio logs or scan visor entries. Give it a super lonely feeling.

SlayerOfGoat
I like that this is just a pretend, completely fictional thing, and we're already giving it awards.
77thtimesthecharm
I mean why stop at just the four ??? Toss in best picture and best animated feature in there
Animorphs
Well they’re currently making a live action Zelda.
drousnavat
I am aware. I am also aware that the guy playing Link, Benhamin Ainsworth cannot act worth a fuck. The director is the dude that made the horrifically shitty Cirque du Freak adaptation that refused 99% of the source material. The writers are only known for Rise of Skywalker and Maze Runner. It is gonna be a massive shit show. I have no hope for this movie and will refuse to watch it out of spite because I know the source material is gonna get ignored. It's gonna be the next Dragon Ball Evolution
vxgjhf
Every update I hear about this movie makes it feel more like it's being made exclusively as an excuse to stop any demand for live action movies based on Nintendo properties.
Photeus
Your last sentence...I thought it before I read it.
I'd assume Nintendo would protect their IP, but it's going to start out with the main character Being Zelda and the legend is about him saving the princess bubbles or some shit
PipWhipple
How much acting is needed for Link? Well, I guess maybe facial expressions...
Beefkins
Needs to be able to do a convincing "well EXCUUUUUUSE ME, princess!"
hyptosis
You are correct on both things. It's literally insane to me that Metroid isn't bigger.
drousnavat
At the very least, I would think Metroid would get a Netflix series. Imagine it. Same budget and loving creation as Mandalorian and we would have WAY more merch sales than you can imagine.
TheFastpaws
The issue is Sakamoto would be there and he’d care more about the zero suit and high heels than Samus being a bad ass.
hyptosis
Yeah, the closest Samus content I've seen in live action would be maybe the blond chick in the hated Halo tv series, or Bobbie in The Expanse.
ToSisPoS
As long as the same care and love that Castlevania got is put into it.
hyptosis
Yeah, the closest Samus content I've seen in live action would be maybe the blond chick in the hated Halo tv series, or Bobbie in The Expanse.
TheFastpaws
The problem is Sakamoto. Whenever he's given total control he's more obsessed with adding high heels, baby obsession talk, defer to men and the zero suit itself being tight spandex. Whenever he is gone or is under someone else's care you get stuff like Prime.
hyptosis
Yeah I really don't count much past supermetroid as actual metroid :/
ToSisPoS
I quit when the N64 snubbed the franchise.
And changing to fps? Thanks I’ll just go play Perfect Dark.
PipWhipple
I'm only so versed in Metroid...baby obsession?
TheFastpaws
He helmed a game with complete creative control called Other M. Which as you can obviously see is Mother. The opening scene has her talk about a distress signal was a baby’s cry because it was so universally understood. Then she arrives at a ship that is shaped like a baby bottle. Only one of the many issues with that game was Samus’s new found baby obsession theme.
AshuraEidolon
The game takes place not long after Super Metroid, of course she's going to be thinking about motherhood after the baby metroid that imprinted on her sacrificed itself to save her.
hyptosis
w... what?
