Nintendo To Venture Into Film Creation

It seems a new player has entered the movie-making game. Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima spoke with Asahi News about the company’s hopes to finance and help produce a number of films based on their video game characters. The current intellectual property revolution and the Toad-loads of money cross-media franchises are making are prompting Nintendo to attempt a film release in the next two or three years.
No word yet on which character/s they’re considering for this first film, but Kimishima did say that it will likely be an animated feature, in part because of the Goombah-dump of a film that was Super Mario Bros.Nintendo are actively seeking a movie company to partner with in the production and global release of these films.
While the animated nature of the movies might make one think Nintendo’s going the Pixar route, the argument could be made that brightly-coloured, super-powered characters that bridge the worlds of science-fiction and fantasy fall more in line with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe in ten years we’ll all be lining up to see Super Smash Bros: Civil War. #TeamSamus
