I don’t know, just because the video game isn’t real doesn’t mean that the movie isn’t based off of a video game. I think it just shows that the reason most video game movies fail isn’t because the movie is bad, but because the fans are too harsh. If Wreck It Ralph replaced the main characters with characters from Mario but still had the same basic plot I don’t think it would have been as well received.
Wreck It Ralph doesn’t count because it wasn’t based on an actual video game, but on video games in general. But it was indeed great.
