Some things just weren't meant to be adapted to other media. Or shouldn't be taken seriously. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a brief summary of the adaptation suggested by the previous poster, then suggest something for the next poster to adapt.

To start:

In this game, you get to play from a previously unseen perspective: Godot him(her?)self! All you do is press start and... What? How the hell could he not show up? It's a game you idiots, program him in! You can't? Ugh!

It's not a video game now, but a movie. It consists mostly of Samus failing to fight space pirates and has to rescued by Adam, who is still alive for no real reason other that the movie needed a love interest that rescues the damsel in distress (who is Samus, just to rub it further in). One can really notice that it's a video game adapation.

It's still basically Blaz Blue, but the scripts have been rewritten entirely so that the characters break the fourth wall every five or so lines to openly mock the player. In-fight dialogue has been replaced with "This game sucks and so do you," taunts are now all variations of "It's just a shitty Guilty Gear remake," and joke endings have been deleted entirely and replaced with poorly drawn art of Ragna giving the player the finger.

RED and BLU have both grown tired of their perpetual warfare, a ceasefire is called as the members of each team do their best to reach a peaceful conclusion to the eternal fighting. A game in the vein of the Ace Attorney series, each class' weapons are now replaced with speech skills. Notably absent are any and all hats.

The series only lasts one episode because all of the lead actors legitimately kill themselves, and they can't get enough replacement actors willing to put themselves through the same kind of torture.

Call Of Duty as a Bollywood film.

After accidentally unlocking a hidden file, he realizes that by reading the classified documents printed out on the screen, he's made himself a wanted man. This summer, John Leguizamo will shock you when he falls into the hidden underworld of...

It's an off-broadway musical. Each performance is a completely different play. The script remains the same, but the actors are given vastly different direction. Little Shop of Horrors became an even more cynical, darker play closer to No Exit than its origins.

Speaking of which...
