10 Movies You Never Knew Had Their Own Video Game

If Wayne's World proved that even popular comedy movies are tricky to adapt into video game form, Little Nicky confirmed that critically panned ones are even more of a challenge.

The notion of most any Adam Sandler comedy being turned into a video game is completely baffling, and yet for some reason Ubisoft decided to publish a game based on one of his few box office flops from the early 2000s, Little Nicky.

This Game Boy Color-exclusive transposed the puerile screen comedy into an action-platformer that, while surprisingly faithful to the movie, is largely an incredibly basic, standard issue platforming game.

It gets points for featuring a mini-game where you're tasked with flinging pineapples up Hitler's a** while he wears a maid outfit - a surprisingly movie-faithful mini-game, in fact - but this is largely a game whose sheer existence is absolutely puzzling.
