Video: Successful Licensed Game Adaptations

There was a time when licensed games didn’t exactly have the best reputation. They were often poor adaptations that primarily aimed to capitalize on a well-known brand, like the legendarily bad Superman on the N64.

Thankfully, that old creed no longer holds true today; quite the opposite, in fact. There are now so many good licensed adaptations that we couldn’t possibly fit them all into this single video.

Therefore, in the following minutes, I’ll present to you a collection of more or less recent, but always excellent games based on well-known brands. If you’d like to see more, please let us know in the comments – we have plenty more up our sleeve for another video.
