It's a shame that the film's makers, Toho Games, want to be more than just a gaming company, even if it looks like a gaming company.
It was only two years ago that Nintendo took an exclusive approach to film-maker Toho's previous game, Ninja Gaiden. For the uninitiated, this action game, produced by Toho Pictures for Namco, was also a live action film, which has since proved to be a success.
In 2012, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto created the game into a series that fans would play together over time and play the action with their friends, becoming friends with them. The game was released on both the Nintendo Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch platforms, and now Nintendo GameCube has been brought on board to play alongside both franchises.
The series had the biggest success on Nintendo Switch when it hit shelves in September, with gamers playing the Japanese game simultaneously on Switch during launch weekend before the full version came to market.
