If we had a cross between Xenoblade X and Mario we could have Manon talking to Toads...which by definition would be the most grating conversation to hear in the world
Why not just license?, remember square soft Nintendo
A Nintendo Cinematic Universe you all say?
Some of their IPs would work great as movies. I can see Star Fox, Zelda, Kid Icarus and Splatoon be great movies if they take the time to make them right.
Some of them I don't really see working though. Like I can not imagine how a full length Mario (CG) movie would be or if it would work at all. Same with Kirby. I think those would work well as little 5 minute shorts before the feature film that most animated movies seem to have now.
Nice to see they aren't discouraged by the Ratchet and Clank bomb and Angry Birds (it's too early to call this one a bomb, but let's face it, it's going to bomb.) Like Marvel not being discouraged at Elektra and Catwoman, it is possible for good and successful movies to come from Nintendo's IP's, despite some early missteps by other studios.
That live-action film didn't do particularly well at the box office. From now on we'd like to do things ourselves more than just license something
Fuck, just license your shit Nintendo, if that shits flops you are safe, #squaresoft #neverforget
There's an angry birds movie that's doing very well and was received very well too. A game's concept might make it harder to make a good movie, but that doesn't make it impossible.Some of their IPs would work great as movies.

Get the fucking Smash 4 CG team to do a Smash movie. Those reveal trailers were hype as shit. With some good writing behind them, that'd be insanely popular.
Next time on Super Mario Bros. The Brothers take the One Ring to the top of Mount Doom deep within the realm of Mordor.
Punch Out x Rocky.^~^
Rocky is the one teaching lit Mac on the way to be the great stallion.^~^
Not sure how to feel about this.
"In an interview for a video game magazine, he stated that Nintendo contacted him once and told him because of his love of video games, if there ever is a live action Pokémon movie made, he would be their first, last and only choice to play Professor Oak."
The world is a lesser place with a hole the size of Robin Williams.
Shouldn't feel good about this. Unless they are going to hire talent that knows how to do proper storytelling and making movies this is a very bad idea. Spirits within bad.

Live action drama in 2020?Splatoon anime/cartoon series in 2017, Splatoon movie in 2018/2019. Perfect.
They can still get outside help from partners, it's just that Nintendo has more control than licensing out. They're partnering with production studios internationally so it's not just them or just in Japan.
Though I guess they could also have Yoshiaki Koizumi try a Nintendo film because before joining Nintendo he had his sights on a career in film and studied it, and animation, drama and storyboarding.
As much as I love to shit on Spirits Within on every opportunity, which I do, Advent Children exists and for what it was that was pretty good.
And I'm pretty sure there are lessons to be learned from both films going into this.
While the original source said Nintendo wanted to make these in house, the new source seems to indicate that they want to be hands on while partnering with outside studios?
Not sure
I read it as they wanted to make them inhouse. Yeah I have no issues with wanting tight control of their properties but you got to hand these things off to the people that know how to make them.
For the most part a lot of their animated shorts were made with partnerships in other companies. It's possible that when they talk in-house, they probably mean produced within a company division and worked on with outside companies.
And deny us the greatness of Doc Louis?
Kimishima also says that Nintendo would like to have it's first movie ready within the next 2-3 years.
Handling it themselves? Thank God. After the Sony email leaks awhile ago I was worried they were going to let western film studios fuck up their IPs again. I'm actually excited now.
If we're getting technical about how many films Nintendo has made in cooperation with other studios, there is a JP only SMB anime movie.
Super Mario Bros.: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!
EDIT: Mario Wiki details. It was an hour long film http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros.:_Peach-hime_Kyushutsu_Dai_Sakusen!
Yeah, that was one of my ideas.Disney has stopped publishing games, Nintendo wants to make movies. Coincidence? Probably but imagine how insane it would be if Disney bought Nintendo.

Sure because when I think story I think Nintendo.
Why is Mario teaming up with Waluigi
Who's the douchebag with Peach
Why aren't the Toads wearing pants
The 80s were weird
