Kalo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I would rather see live action movies made from Nintendo to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Pokemon, so I don't care. and becuase Animated feels to close to the video games, not that they couldn't be good. I just have had an awesome Idea in my head for a live action Super Mario Bros film for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Universal just bought all the theme park rights so it would be funny if the movies landed at another studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Interesting. They could be a power player for sure, plus they certainly have the money to start up a top-tier film studio. The fan-base is enormous, plus can you imagine a Super Smash Bros movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you think Nintendo has an unlimited amount of financial resources. Also, they will need a distributor to reach a wide audience.

They have far more resources than Marvel did, although animation is admittedly a tougher game to get into. And of course they will have to have a distribution agreement with one of the major studios.

Nintendo's own fanbase isn't that bad, or at least not big enough to support their planned animated movies all on their own. Their sales have been dwindling for a while now, as evident by the Wii-U. If Nintendo wants to gets into the business of animated features. They better be sure they have good people involved in their projects. Otherwise it might not end well.
