I swear I'm not trying to be _that person_ but technically it wasn't an SNES game then; it was a Super Famicom game. I normally wouldn't quibble about semantics like that, but since it was a Japanese exclusive that specificity is kinda needed. But yes I was coming to the comments to say the exact same thing.

Composers one is a good idea, but a lot of the music in from the best composers will often come with a copyright tag slapped on, especially when looking at works by people like Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Shimomura, famous for OSTs such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.

What about Star Wars Episode 1: Racer and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (the original 2005 version; not the 2017 EA reboot) though? Both games were made as tie-ins to/with their respective films (Episode 1 Racer was made as a tie-in for The Phantom Menace while if I remember correctly, I think Battlefront 2 2005 was released on the same day that Revenge of the Sith came out on DVD) and they are both great games to boot.

[@Shritistrang]

I would argue that the Spider-Man 2 movie was of equal quality to the video game, if not even slightly better.

[@AlexisFloofer]

I was prepared to be disappointed if the "The Thing" game wasn't on the list, but then you provided 5 games I've heard of that are comfortably worse.

[@HylianTabby]

I thought The Thing was honestly really good, a bit clunky sure but I can comfortably say it's one of the better movie tie-in games imo.

[@AlexisFloofer]

@@HylianTabby As you said, the gameplay is a bit clunky, but it also (at times) completely ignores the themes and tense atmosphere the movie tries to build. Combined that with scripted events sometimes being outright cheating, such as when you test someone for infection, walk forward into a trigger and they turn. And the game flops in comparison to the movie.

[@shawnfields2369]

@@AlexisFloofer Well, does it at least have Keith David or Kurt Russell in the game? Maybe if this were the Ten Worst Movie Licensed Tie-In Games list, there'd be room for The Thing tie-in game. If they could eventually make a good Back To The Future game, and a great Ghostbusters game, they could probably make a good "The Thing" game. Keith David and Kurt Russell deserved better. Plus, The Thing is one of the best cult classic horror movies ever made. There were a lot more awful movie tie-in games Will missed out on, obviously. But let's be glad that movie tie-in games are a dying trend, and aren't as prevalent or as relevant as they once were. Let's appreciate it, because one day, like a nightmare, they could come back to haunt us all again. But I'm glad they mostly seem to be gone.

[@AlexisFloofer]

@@shawnfields2369 It doesn't contain either David or Russel. Childs is dead and Macready is voiced by someone else. Though Carpenter is an uncredited voice, which is unusual. It truly does deserve a better game, and just about any attempt to do so now would be better than about 80% of the movie tie-ins of old, simply because the base quality of a sellable game is so much higher now.

[@shawnfields2369]

@@AlexisFloofer That's a shame. Yeah, I completely agree with you, ma'am. The Thing was one of the best horror movies ever made. It scared the crap out of me, seeing it on tv as a kid. I mean, I wasn't born in 1982, when it came out, but I was born about 11 years later. Still one of the best horror movies, even today. And yeah, games and their quality control have really gotten better over the years, and so have some movie tie-in games, seeing as how they're not all garbage. But, I'd rather not have movie tie-in games. I'd rather have a game that's got nothing to do with the movie, or a game that recycles or regurgitates the plot of the movie, back at the people who've already seen it, or probably don't care as much. I mean, there's always some exceptions. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was way better than the movie it was based on and gave us the story of Wolverine that we would've WANTED to see on screen, and actually telling us his origin story, and the years of wars he went through, and not just fast forwarding through the interesting parts, and also, no Will.i.am, or bad cg Blob, Hugh Jackman and the guy who play Sabretooth, reprise their roles too. Haven't played it, but I have unfortunately, seen the movie, in the hopes that maybe it was just me that was missing out on something, seeing as how Wolverine is my favorite member of the X-Men, but nope, the movie just blows. Despite Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman giving it their best, and even adding in Gambit, didn't help. Gambit just keeps getting screwed over. And it's hard to even keep up with the movie's pace, and tone, all over the damn place, I mean, The Wolverine was a much better movie, but everybody forgets about it, and just sees it as the middle movie of the Wolverine trilogy, which is fine, because it kind of is that, but I'm saying, Wolverine deserved better. And that's why I'm glad we got "Logan", despite that being the most sad and tear-jerking thing they've ever done with Logan as a character. Which I also missed out on in theaters, but seeing some of it on tv, I have to turn away from the screen at some points because of how sad it gets I have to try not to cry during it, especially near the end... but it's amazing to see how far games have evolved, especially movie games. There'll always be bad games, just a part of life, but that's ok, because we need those games too. As long as we always have games these good, anyways. But I'd rather not have movie tie-ins, as bad as something like Friday the 13th, or Back to the Future(1989), or The Goonies(even though I'm sure that game was supposed to be a sequel to the original movie), or like Scarface, sure, that's a sequel to the original, and Al Pacino himself even reprises his role too, and it's basically just a what if story, if he somehow survived the ending to Scarface, being shot like, a million times. Because I too often wonder what would happen if I could magically survive being shot at literally a million and one times. But I'm surprised that Will didn't talk about the Napoleon Dynamite DS game, which does copy the movie's art style, but from what I've seen, the game doesn't copy the movie, just gives everyone big, oversized heads, like they're all secretly inflating their heads to find the secret to breaking the rules of physics and gravity. Sure is different from the movie's plot... but maybe he just never played it? There were so many other terrible movie tie ins, not worth the trouble. Like the Resevoir Dogs tie-in game. Which is why I'm glad I never played any of these either. But I would've liked to play the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game though, or The Warriors game, and definitely the 2009 Ghostbusters game. Sure, there's always bound to be crap games that are sometimes tie-ins to crappy movies, or bring down the quality of a great movie; and some movie tie-ins that are just as good if not better than the movie they're based on, or are games that answer questions some of us may have had about some of the characters or things in the movie. Sometimes they're prequels or sequels, sometimes they're questions we shouldn't want answers to, but I'm glad in a way that movie tie-in games exist, even if I don't play them. But The Hulk and Wolverine tie in games, I would've loved to play as well. But, as fun as bad games can be sometimes, I'd rather just see Hulk and Wolverine smashing things up in a non movie tie in game, and them just fighting either bad guys, or each other. Or have something like the 2018 Spider-Man game, but for either Logan or The Hulk. But I am glad to have Keith David part of my crew in Saint's Row 4, as the VP. And also, them recreating the scene from They Live, with the late, great Rowdy, Roddy Piper, in the game, is what also makes the game great. Sorry for the long rant, but I do that a lot.

I think I suggested this before, but whatever: Top 5 Penultimate Bosses Better than the Final Boss (or just the Best Penultimate Bosses if that's too long).

[@mortemtyrannus8813]

Jecht/the Final Aeon from Final Fantasy X. A surprisingly difficult boss fight that can easily one-shot your party if you're not prepared, combined with a pair of regenerating "towers" that buff him and debuff you which forces you to use all of the skills you've gained in the game if you want to survive (or just cheat and use Yojimbo, but again, cheating), combined with a satisfying ending to main protagonist Tidus' arc that forces him to confront the father who was never there for him, only to learn that his father was trying to help him be a better man, and even admits that he did a terrible job at that. Compare that to the final boss, Yu Yevon, where you 1) fight through all your aeons, losing the ability to summon them, then 2) fight a disembodied spirit that hates healing magic and potions but likes poison, all whilst your party is literally unable to die. And on the story part, this was the guy that created Sin, the world-destroying flying alien whale that has been the primary antagonist the entire game. Everything's been leading up to this final showdown. And he dies like a bitch without any cheap exploits (like Yojimbo, that single aeon and a shit-ton of cash is the single greatest weapon in that game). It's no wonder most people who've played FFX consider Jecht the real final boss. The actual thing should never have been included from the start. Just make up some BS that the Final Aeon replaces whoever the previous Final Aeon was, making Yu Yevon non-existent at this stage, and leave Jecht as the endgame.

[@eeriecode1628]

Had this list not been about "movie" tie-in games, I'd have honestly suggested Balan Wonderworld for this. Hear me out: when I think of tie-ins, I mostly think about the old Disney games for PS1, where the focus was to make a set of levels for you to play in the movie's world and the plot was an afterthought or relegated to cutscenes. And Balan has the same formula: the game has pretty much no plot, it's just a series of mediocre platformer levels, while the tie-in novel has plot, context, characterization, everything the game lacks. In a way, Balan Wonderworld feels like a badly-made tie-in for its novel, not that different from old movie tie-in games.

@@princesszelda2072 The crash was mostly in the US and even then, it's an exaggeration.

Here's a few candidates for this list: -Pokemon: Detective Pikachu -Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) -all 4 of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha movies so far (Considering that the entire Lyrical Nanoha franchise was originally spun-off from an eroge game [Triangle Heart 3] in the first place and that Reflection and Detonation were loosely based on a pair of Japanese-only PSP games that took place after the events of the second season of the show [A's], I think they technically count as being based on video games [especially Reflection and Detonation])

[@s.p.d.magentaranger1822]

Back to it this week: Top 5 shows based on games?

[@Astolfo2001]

Do the first three seasons of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Vivid Strike! even count as shows based on video games? The Lyrical Nanoha franchise itself was spun-off from a Japanese eroge game titled "Triangle Heart 3" in the first place so I think they technically count.

Honestly, it's EASY to make a video about BAD movie tie-ins... Now make one about GOOD Movie tie-ins! Those aren't so easy to come by!

[@bemasaberwyn55]

2 things I expected to see on this list.......anything from LJN, that oh so FAITHFUL MOVIE TIE IN GAMES developer rising to prominence post ET. The other being a Ghostbusters game, a franchise that has been dogged with SO MANY horrendous games(I can only think of 2 GOOD if not great Ghostbusters games) Your video was great Rabbid. I'm actually surprised you didn't touch on the tie in games for Star Wars(woof does that franchise have bad games). Or Star Trek (the only franchise that could rival Wars for tie in games)

[@Furuesain]

Im clearly ill and overtired but that neck crack, for the number 1 spot had me laughing so hard it hurt 😂😂

I find it funny how some people are offended by Thor's appearance in God of War. If you watch those competitions where the world's strongest men compete to perform these amazing feats of strength, they don't have these super toned, zero fat bodies. They look like Thor in God of War. The six pack is aesthetically pleasing, but it's overrated. Plus, considering the voracious appetite Thor is described as having in myth, his appearance works on multiple levels. And they actually got his hair color and long beard right this time. It's amazing how often they get those two things wrong, when they're two of the few physical descriptions we actually get for Thor.

[@Shritistrang]

Realism is unrealistic, apparently.

top 5 best games based on movies. (since, there's this once held belief of not buying any video game named after a movie because it was destined to be trash, and I remember this from ps1-ps3 era being a trope)

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Avengers game should be cashing on. But dropped the ball and probably didn't do a deal with Disney and MCU.. And went with the... Yeah we got this and can figure it out.. And decided not go with any connection on the biggest movie in 2019.. I guess hindsight is 20/20. Oops.

[@bobafett4265]

This was enjoyable perhaps we could get the reverse choice of Best Movie Tie In Games? I just wanna see RabbidLuigi talk about X-Men Origins Wolverine, a Tie In Game better than the movie it's based on, as well as any other that falls into that category.

[@thecommenter6773]

Suggestion: Top 5 unexpected not boss fights (like boss fights you were expecting to happen, but didn't happen), and on the topic of licensed games, how about top 5 pre-snes (and non-arcade) licensed games, because the list would me more interesting then, without all the arkhams, sleep-deprived spidermen, and arcade tmnt titles and maybe top 5/10 clone games, like games that very explicity a clone of another game, like how star wars galactic battlegrounds is a very obvious AoE2 clone, like it literally uses the same engine, or like that one Noah's ark game thats just a doom clone.

[@ratchetxtreme6591]

Dumb movie license games are always humorous to witness.

[@DavCube]

I think we've hit a point where movie tie-in games stopped getting made not because lessons were learned, but simply because of the costs of games these days. You're not seeing adaptations of modern Pixar films because those adaptations would cost... well, probably not as much as the film itself, but not exactly shoestrings either. Aside from mobile, there's no "safe" option for a quick cash-in anymore because dedicated handhelds are no longer a thing.

[@shiffpup2529]

Fun fact: the devs behind the 2016 Friday the 13th game have now gotten the license to make an online multiplayer Leatherface game

[@darienb1127]

Everyone complains that there are some horrible games and business practices in gaming today, and they would be right. But a lot of people forget just how much trash there was back in the NES days. Sure, everyone was still figuring out how to make games, but that doesn't excuse all the blatant shovelware and movie tie-ins that the NES has.

[@darthlazurus4382]

One wee Easter Egg I like is in Friday the 13th the game (the recent one). You can play as NES Jason, the purple one, and it uses the NES Ft13th music.

[@Fr33dan]

"Barney in a hockey mask", I feel like that already exists and it's called Five Nights at Freddy's.

[@Shritistrang]

That's more like Jason in a Barney mask.

[@donovanboykins1995]

A shame about the 2016 Ghostbusters game. Personally the idea of a Multiplayer Ghostbusters game with each character having different upgradable skills would be interesting. If they at least made the ghost zapping combat as fun as the Luigi’s Mansion games. Heck, after seeing how Co Op multiplayer works in Dark Moon and 3 via the Scarescraper, the 2016 game seems like a missed opportunity. As for the 2016 Movie, Personally, Guilty Pleasure at best!

I feel like I should know a lot of these kind of games ... but none spring to mind so I can’t wait to be reminded ... wait, Lady Ghostbusters got their own game and it’s actually _worse_ than the movie? HAH! (To me the main problem with the movie was there were four women trying, and failing, to be as serious as possible while simultaneously trying to deliver their humour as if they were a team of “straight men”) 😂😂😂 Thanks for another awesome list RabbidLuigi 💙🐱💙

[@jadedheartsz]

Ghostbusters reboot was hilarious, honestly I liked it more then the original, there I said it.

[@jadedheartsz]

@@BJGvideos to be fair that remake got a LOT of misogynist comments from the very instant it was announced and a lot of the comments were genuinely awful(Leslie Jones got a bunch of racist shit hurled at her on social media over the film)so I can hardly blame Sony for focusing on that, and from my experience the vast majority of people that ranted about that film nonstop turned out to be alt-right nazi bigots. There is nothing "anti-feminist" about that movie at all, that's fucking horseshit, anyone saying that is totally ignorant. You don't know what "equality" actually means troll, straight white men like you have tons of representation in films already, let somebody else get a shot for once, get over it. The filmmakers clearly did view their leads on "equal grounds" don't know what the hell you're blathering on about(seems you're the one not viewing them on equal grounds here)

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

@@jadedheartsz the "anti-feminist" part is pretending that the movie failed *solely* because of the (undeserved) hate it got for having a female-led cast, because it ignores the fact that it's really not a good vehicle for those actresses. Male-led movies fail all the time, but no one ever blames misandrism for those failures. Plus, the reboot took arguably the only Ghostbuster with a solid head for business in the original film and turned her into a brain-dead himbo, which was a terrible idea.

[@jadedheartsz]

@@nicholasfarrell5981 nobody has ever said that genius, point me to ONE significant person that claimed the film failed because of that. Go ahead, i'll wait. Oh so women are allowed to be portrayed as dumb but men aren't? Talk about a double-standard, get over it. Also it's not a "fact" just because a random person like you says so. It's a plenty good vehicle, also you clearly don't know what "misandry" actually is fool.

Not gonna lie, as soon as he started talking about Ghostbusters I got worried he was referring to the 2009 one, which while not amazing I still considered to be really fun.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

It needed ways to avoid spending most of the time on your back, and sometimes it's a bit too obvious that it's just the cast riffing on a bad script that made excuses to recycle their greatest hits and add a few generic enemies.... But those were some great riffs. And unlike every other Ghostbusters game, you really got a sense of how dangerous their weapons are. Plus, bonus points for not using the proton packs as laser guns.

[@jlev1028]

Remember the word "tie in". By the time the 2009 game came out, the Ghostbusters franchise was already long dead.

[@ShenDoodles]

I played Charlie’s Angels regularly as a kid because it was one of the only games my gran had. I never realised until I was older how shitty it actually was.

[@NatetheNerdy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Charlie's Angels game bugged where you can't beat it? I think after the third level or so it just restarts.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

Another good pick for the would be the Nightmare on Elm Street game. Because everything I've been about it makes it look just as bad as the Friday the 13th game, if not worse.

[@breadisrad8647]

That was a great ad 😂

[@goranisacson2502]

At first I thought of Monsters Inc Scream Arena, but then I thought better off it since I feel it's more of a "spin-off" than "adaptation"? I mean, it really is just a dodgeball game with a Monsters Inc skin. I feel like it IS bad, shallow and boring, but it's also not bad in an interesting way- they just took what would be a minigame in a regular game and sold it as a regular game. Can't really make a video about that.

[@Deladus]

Not directly related to the point of the video, but Ghostbusters (1984), as I understand it, had a lot of improv. Especially from Bill Murray. Thats what their background was in.

Then quality will falter and quantity will be supreme.. LJN should be the template.. I would like to defend your product and quality on video games.. But quantity vs quality.. works for every gaming company.. So good luck in keeping your customers.. who's willing to pay for your services..
