Weekly Poll: Never Gonna Get It
October 24, 2005
The results are in and it appears that movies based on Metroid and The Legend of Zelda would be the most popular if done correctly. I'm surprised that Castlevania didn't score higher. It's the game I voted for, mainly because it wouldn't need much tinkering to make it a movie. Unlike games where the hero or heroine is alone for most of the story, Castlevania comes with a supporting cast right out of the box. Imagine an epic film version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse featuring main hero Trevor Belmont and his sidekicks Grant DaNasty, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard as they journey through the land to face Count Dracula. I think it could be done very well with the right director and screenwriters.
Speaking of things we'll never get, this week's poll is a little different. Over the years gamers have begged, screamed, and threatened companies for certain peripherals or options for various game consoles. I've listed a few of these "But I want it!" ideas, but feel free to contribute your own in the comments below. The field is wide open. What feature or peripheral do you sorely want but know the game companies will never release? Feel free to put "never" in quotation marks, as this is a wacky industry and one should never say never. Still, let's agree that these items are improbable at best.
