When I do Super Mario Bros. Videos from this channel – you should watch because it’s a good video, and doing so helps prevent me from becoming homeless – I mentioned that I might have made a video about the first video game feature film.
Before I can even do this, I have to say it’s not about The great mission of rescuing Princess Peach! or Running Boy: Star Soldier Without Hitsu. Not because I don’t like or discount animations at all, but because these productions are similar to TV specials than TV specials, rather than large feature adaptations with real budgets.
To do this, we are going back to the 80s, watching remains one of the best video game movies ever and prove that there has never been a curse of a video game movie.
We’re talking about the real first video game movie, Mirai Ninja.
Mirai Ninja It is the 1988 Namco Arcade game released only in Japan, so if you’ve never heard of it, that’s fair. In the game, you are a resurrected robot ninja who must stop the resurrection of an evil empire and leader. Remind me, I need to replay Internet shadow. That game rocks.
anyway, Mirai Ninja Arcade games were developed to release fellow feature films, so it was not about adapting existing games into movies. Instead, games and movies are intended to complement each other directly.
The Japanese title of this movie will be Mirai Ninja: Keigumo Kinin Gaiden, Translated as The Ninja of the Future: Invisible Joy Cloud Device Side Story. Bless the Japanese and their outstanding titles.
The film will receive many different titles based on where it was released. Across the entire pond in England, Robot Ninja. My neighbors in the north are great warlord. Sorry, Canada, you should get a better title. In the United States, that’s what I know, that’s Network Ninja But I’m going to call it by its Japanese title because I’m the loser’s WEEB.
Now, before actually talking Mirai Ninja In itself, I think I need to correct the omissions from previous videos. In my video Gaver: The Dark Hero – I like you to look, so my beautiful kitten won’t starve to death – I ignored this word Tokusatsuused for a large number of special effects in real-life production in Japan.
over time, Tokusatsu It has also become a term suitable for special effects production styles, such as seen in Japanese TV series Kamen Rider or Super Sentinel series. and Mirai Ninja Approximately pure Tokusatsu Do your best. I can watch those explosions over and over again.
Since the game and the movie are made together, Mirai Ninja The movie deliberately tries to be as loyal as possible to arcade games. So much so that Keita Amemiya, the director and co-writer of the film, also works on character design for the game. All of this makes it impossible for a movie to be more faithful to its video game original material. The first phase of a video game is almost directly adapting to the sequence of the opening film, and even the music in the game sometimes provides a new arrangement for the film.
So the basic story Mirai Ninja It seems very familiar to anyone who is the least familiar…
The film begins with text and says: “Once upon a time, in the distant future…” There is an evil empire that kidnapped a princess in white and hired a savage to rescue her. There is an evil emperor that is a big glitz, do I need me to continue? Mandatory Statement “Star Wars Is Influenced by Samurai Movies Hidden fortressIn the comments, someone thought “well, actually.”
The “Not Star Wars” part of the story is about a soldier who died at the beginning of the movie and is resurrected as a robot ninja by the clan of the Dark Overlord. This is our hero Shiranui, who is trying to reach the fortress of the Dark Overlord to recover his body before his body and to use the princess to revive the Dark Overlord.
You won’t be easier than this, this is the best thing Mirai Ninja From a writing perspective. At 75 minutes, it won’t be overly complicated. As Joe Bob Briggs put it, “there isn’t a lot of plots that can get in the way of the story.” It’s about Robo Ninjas and Techno Baddies shooting lasers and slicing them with swords.
This is the best thing Mirai Ninja. This is a cartoon madness caused in the real world of pure uncut Saturday mornings. This is just making video games. It doesn’t need to stuff Jack Black into it to make it as widely appealing as possible. It reflects and embraces the simplicity of video games while still managing to tell a dramatic story about Shiranui, thanks to the audience knowing that he is actually the brother of another featured character. This is nothing new, but it works.
If you hang on the story and characters Mirai NinjaYou keep moving forward as I bask in the sun, and then p-mouth, my man Shoki is a big evil lad who ends up being the ship of the resurrected dark overlord. If you try to sneak into him, his head tentacles will stab you! Shoki rules.
Shiranui rules. Mirai Ninja Fucking rules.
And the only reason is that more people Mirai Ninja The reason for the release in 1988 was that the film stayed in Japan as the arcade game was not exported to other countries. It got home video and English dubbing on VHS in the 90s and released DVDs in Japan in the 2000s, but didn’t get a loving fix or better version on Blu-ray.
It needs to be for many reasons. When people’s “video game curse” on “video game movie curse” has plagued many adaptations for decades Super Mario Bros.they need to know Mirai Ninja. The first live video game movie wasn’t cursed at all. In fact, it was produced in 1988.
Keita Amemiya will continue to direct guidance similar Tokusatsu Movie Zeiramtwo Kamen Rider The movie, and another movie I have 100% of, if this movie does well. since Mirai Ninja It was his first dramatic feature, and it required the preservation of his film work.
This is the first live game movie, not Super Mario Bros. This fact alone should be given Mirai Ninja Admiration, respect and proper modem video releases from global audiences.
You can find Mirai Ninja In the cyberspace here, but hopefully we can all look forward to a loving day where new versions can be made. The first real video game movie is worth mentioning.
