8 Nintendo Video Game Movies We NEED To See

8. Punch-Out!!

The story of an underdog fighting their way through the ranks in a competitive sport to become the best is a winning formula in movies when done right. Who doesn't love rooting for someone who nobody else believes in?

So yeah, a Punch-Out!! film could definitely work.

Flesh out Little Mac's relationship with Doc Louis, explore the backstory of both characters, make them both much more compelling and you could have a hit on your hands. Watching Little Mac fight through a ton of colourful characters could be a fun and emotional movie.

Due to the lack of a huge amount of Punch-Out!! lore there's a lot of room to flesh out elements to make the series work as a film. For example, they could make Mr. Sandman the antagonist and give him a personal connection to Little Mac to make the rivalry more compelling.

Hell, if they want something like a Nintendo Cinematic Universe then Mario could always be the referee like he is in the NES version of Punch-Out!!. As long as they don't focus on him though, as this should be Little Mac's story.
