15 of the Best Video Game Adaptations That Aren’t ‘Uncharted’

By 16 febrero, 2022No Comments

Based on: Detective Pikachu (The Pokémon Company, Creatures, Inc.)

I’m not really sure who the target audience for Detective Pikachu was meant to be. There are a lot of Pokémon fans, no question, but enough to support an expensive adaptation of a very specific 2016 DS game? Apparently so, with Ryan Reynolds’ lead voice performance serving as either a vote of confidence in the material from the distributors, or an added inducement to get people into theaters. It worked, regardless, doing enough business to warrant talk of a possible sequel (though it’s probably not happening). In the impressively designed Ryme City, a place where humans and Pokémon interact freely (shades of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) teams up with Pikachu in order to solve his father’s murder. It’s so weird that it kinda works.

Where to stream: Sling TV, TNT, TBS, Tru TV
