Video Game Films: CineClub do what Nintendon’t

Published on: 12th September, 2025

This week the team of Jake, Dion, Billy and Rhys discuss the Nintendo’s and Nintendon’t of video games films. One of the first issues is that describing games based films is a challenge.

Nevertheless, our intrepid arcade dwellers forge on through Super Mario Bros (1992), Mortal Kombat (1995) and through to Minecraft (2025) and Five Nights at Freddys (2023) taking in many other games films along the way.

With thanks to Martyn Steel and James Sadler.
