Super Paper Mario for Wii has been well received by the critics, as evidenced by an 85 score on Metacritic. And the gaming public loves it as well, with a reported 1.55 million copies sold.

But does all that success warrant a movie spinoff from the Nintendo Wii title? Seth Gordon, director of the hit documentary King Of Kong, certainly thinks so. And this is a fella who knows his Nintendo.

“I’d love, really love, to adapt Super Paper Mario into a movie, a movie that would constantly switch from 2D to 3D. In five years, 3D cinema is going to be really big,” he said in a recent interview with Ignore Magazine.

“(KoK) was screened for Nintendo, but I haven’t had the chance to speak to anyone over there about it. But I definitely want to have that conversation.”

In the meantime, Cohen is working on a feature film remake of King Of Kong. “As it’s being written, it’s intended to be a remake that explores the moments we couldn’t be present,” he explained, insisting it is not a sequel.

Hopefully, this flick will wash out that bad taste that’s been in our mouths ever since witnessing the with John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins. Though I’m still very skeptical.
