With so many changes to the story and over forty years of movies, which film has best managed to recreate the feeling of the original 1978 movie? Let’s take a look.

Originally released for the Wii in 2011, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword marked a significant shift for the series. Nintendo decided to make it the first game in the overall Zelda story, essentially creating an origin story for the entire world and characters fans had come to know and enjoy.

Although Conker’s Bad Fur Day didn’t sell incredibly well, critics loved it, and a whole generation of gamers grew up enjoying it, making it a beloved cult classic. But beyond the funny and often outrageous humor, what truly sets Conker’s Bad Fur Day apart is how it demonstrated that solid gameplay and unconventional comedy could combine to create a genuinely engaging story. It proved that even traditionally lighthearted genres like platforming could be used to tell mature, lasting stories that fans would remember for years to come.

I was reading an interview with David Krumholtz – you know, Zor-El from Supergirl – over on Nerdtropolis, and he dropped some interesting hints about the upcoming movie. He’s being super careful not to spoil anything, but he said they’re really sticking close to the Woman of Tomorrow graphic novel. Basically, he’s excited to dive deeper into the history of Krypton and the El family, and to help tell that story. It sounds like we’re going to get a lot more background on where Supergirl comes from, which I’m totally here for!

If you’re familiar with games like Atari 50 or the Gold Master Series, you’ll have a good idea of what this offers: a way to play through the beginning of Mortal Kombat’s history, presented beautifully within a feature called the Krypt.
