Nintendo will license their characters for more than games

[zeello]

Another Super Mario Bros movie confirmed!

Man, who knew Nintendo losing ground could be so exciting! Anything is possible now!

 

[Nathan Drake]

Nintendo is really trying hard to make up for the fact that they expect their systems to perform ridiculously far below expectations. This will either be the greatest showing of selling out in quite some time, or perhaps something good will actually come of this, even if the past has shown it to be a little tricky to get right for Nintendo characters.

You don't think they want to put out another sequel to Super Hornio Bros?

i MUST find this NOA

Nintendo will license their characters to Disney and/or Warner Studios to make a real life Nintendoland.

Back when they were dominating the market, they were doing stuff like this. Considering how loaded they are right now, I could see this only being positive.

dont expect more than some 5 minute shorts. seriously. I'm getting more of a wind waker hd comical shorts vibe from this.

I think Sonic will be more interesting in a movie than Mario



Something like this could be awesome... Mario don't has the power to have me settled in a 90 minutes film.

Just please don't brink Link back as a horny teenager again.

I wonder what's for Palutena's Revolting Dinner.

They were going to authorize a Metroid movie, but after the disaster with the Mario Brothers movie, they wanted artistic control and needed to flesh out Samus's character before they could really work with a studio.

Unfortunately, their attempt to do so, Other M, was not very well received so I suspect that idea is delayed indefinitely for the time being.

I think Zelda or Metroid could make a great movie, but Nintendo has to be very careful. Other M showed that they might actually need to get some good writers to develop Samus in future story-driven games and a potential big screen production.

Max Payne is like a movie made game, and we all know how the movie turned out.

To say truth based on all the game to movie conversions to date I don't think a movie based on a game can work that well, the only good one I've seen is Advent Children and only because wasn't the main story made game, is a side story made specifically for the movie.
If they do a story for the movie, could work. if they try to adapt the game story to the movie I expect failure.

there is a wide range of business that Nintendo can take part.

If they expect them to sell below expectations, wouldn't the expectations be lower in the first place?

yeah.. nintendo is great at animes turning their biggest adventures into childish cartoons with historys worst voice acting. And i mean Video Games Moviea are so successful.. look at Doom, Street Fighter, Resident Evil qnd the _16_ Pokemon Titles, i mean, uh? 16.. and there is 38 movies based of video games in total.

Going by movie rating..44% did Final Fantasy get by Rotten Tomatoes, rest got lower score.. most around 5%-15% . Meaning there isnt asibgle GOOD video game adaptation ever done!

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/mortal-kombat actually got okay reviews for some reason. And the Lego movie that is clearly based off the Lego games is looking pretty good at the moment as well (although it won't be out yet for another week or so?)

Maybe if they got drunk enough, they would. There are other ways they can assert their company's adult image, and this might not be needed. But maybe when they start advertising for the new Mario game, they can model the campaign after this.

Iwata shared: "We aim to make increase consumer exposure to Nintendo characters by making them appear in places other than video game platforms."

Wait wait wait...wut? Nintendo, in case you weren't aware, like 99% of your fucking characters are known by millions, if not billions, of people. Like, you could go up to some random guy in the street and say "Mario" and chances are he'd know what you're talking about.
