Now that Nintendo has finally given Hollywood the green light to start making movies based on their games again, Hollywood wasted no time to move forward with a major Nintendo game character who is already set to get his first big screen live-action movie. That character is Mega Man. The Megan Man will get made by 20th Century Fox and will get produced by Peter Chernin.
This is pretty cool ’cause I used to play Mega Man games on the original NES all the time when I was young.
I wonder who they’re gonna get for the Mega Man character? I would think the character Mega Man would have to be played by a little person or a dwarf ’cause the Mega Man character is tiny. So I would say give the Mega Man role to Peter Dinklage please. Perfect casting, in my opinion!!!
The movie will indeed be full of CGI and action, though.
I’m glad Nintendo finally gave Hollywood the okay to make movies again. What other Nintendo games should get made into movies? They already tried Super Mario Bros. but they failed at that but they would probably try Mario again in a re-boot.
My top 5:
– Legend of Zelda
– Castlevania
– Contra
– Metroid
– Ninja Gaiden
A “Double Dragon” movie already happened in 1994 but that film flopped in the box office too.

The article got it slightly wrong. Capcom owns Mega Man, not Nintendo. Mega Man first appeared on Nintendo consoles and most remember him from there, but Capcom is a separate company.
Likewise, Contra and Castlevania are Konami properties, and Ninja Gaiden is a Tecmo property. Nintendo doesn’t own them. Zelda and Metroid are Nintendo properties, though.
It would be cool to see them as movies. I think Metroid and Castlevania would be the most awesome, though I think you have a good list and I’d watch any of them.
