Shouldn't be too much of an issue. They already make these demigod/lovecraftian like things already. Make Zero come back with its bleeding red eye and give it an ominous deep voice and how it wants to bring hate and destruction to the galaxy. Zero is pretty much the devil anyway. 02 resembles a fallen angel too.

What I'm saying is even a soulless piece of garbage that uses something as recognizable as Batman v Superman can get obscene amounts of profit.

That was based on a novelization, so really it never involved Nintendo.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
They also released a comedy in November of 2012.
That movie has nothing to do with nintendo, the Fatal Frame ip doesn't belong to them.

Nintendo didn't make Wreck-It-Ralph man, we can't keep doing this with you.
They do, actually. Co-ownership.

If they do a Zelda movie, make Link a girl or his daughter or something. I think even in a movie they'll still don't want to make him
Talk cause then they'll have to in a game.
keep the story like the beginning of Wind Waker. Then use male link when ready.
Just Make Star Fox, that one screams current potential. Star Fox 64 can be copied into movie with a few adjustments.

It's not going to make that much profit.

I was talking about this.
Anyway, better translation of the timeframe:

Serkon Toto is clarifying things about the Asahi stuff right now.

They're not perusing live action which is good and makes sense not too.

Honestly, if they had stkll been alive this would actually be what I'd want the first movie to be. Having a cliffhanger was ridiculous, but man after all these years I do actually want an awnser!Fucking FINALLY
RIP Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins
No they don't. They own publishing rights on the games after the third one (so 4, 2 Wiimake and Maiden) and fully own Spirit Camera. KT still fully owns the serie and everything related to it outside of that.

Animated or with real actors? If the latter then I don't know if the world is ready for another Super Mario Bros.
But an animated Pixar-like Zelda would be pretty neat imo
3D animation. The SMB film really soured them.

I think Rovio's approach with Angry Birds film makes much more sense
Try to make it yourself => Shit, too hard => Acquire small animation studio => Shit, too slow => Strike deal with top tier studio and leave film making to the pros => Awesome film => Profit

Both 2D and 3D animations are good. I will watch as much as you can produce, Nintendo.

Wait... I'm the wrong side.

They should adapt the Dark Matter trilogies as a trilogies of movie too. That would be perfect
Aye. So there is hope

I'll take 2D animation.
3D has every human character looking the same, even animals. I honestly thought Frozen/How to train your dragon was Pixar at first.

But only if the crashes have plane physics go absolutely crazy.
2D animation hardly sells nowadays.
Not what Nintendo needs to get some visibility in the mainstream.

Of that poll, Disaster is the most likely film to be able to form a cohesive storyline. Though if it was a bad movie it'd make for terrible PR like "Disaster is a Disaster"
The movies I think would be most beneficial:
1. Something Mario, like CG. Seriously, Nintendo should go to Disney or Pixar and have them do an adaptation.
2. Chibi-Robo! It's got great potential for adaptation, and it has some interesting themes that doesn't make it just for kids.
3. Hotel Dusk! Adapt that shit, make it beautiful hand-drawn animation.
4. Animal Crossing - I don't know if it should be an anime or if they should do it in America (hand-drawn either way), but it'd be great.

I can see something like Kirby, Yoshi, Star Fox, Pikmin, and Zelda being made into a movie off the top of my head. I don't see them doing Mario again, at least not as their first movie. Earthbound could be made into a movie that would probably do well with the right writers, but I don't think they'd consider that one for various reasons. Metroid is too mature to be made into an animated movie that they expect to do well.
I am 100% expecting it to be something dumb like a Miitomo movie where you can put you can have a customized Miitomo trailer starring your Mii.

I do dislike how 3D movies do often tend to look the same in that regard, I agree. I don't know if Nintendo would go for that route though seeing as we know these characters and what they look like. Even Mario is still recognized by many. The CGI of the Smash 4 intro and character introduction clips look great and the characters look like they're supposed too.
I personally thought the CGI for the Star Fox Zero short was really good and cool.
If they have a desire to stick to animation and 3D then they they can do a lot themselves while working with a production studio. We can look at the Pikmin shorts, the Star Fox short, along with the Kid Icarus shorts, and all the Smash Bros shorts/trailers as examples of what they can do.
I'm fine if they don't want to do live action. I'll take a great animated film over a live action film where a lot of things can go wrong.

Pikmin would be a pretty awesome movie, especially if they did a unique art style for it (something akin to the claymation artwork).
As for Metroid, I could see them doing it, but it wouldn't be an all-animation film. Get a great cast, a great writer, a great director, baby, you got a stew goin'
Miyamoto: "Does this movie really need a story?"
Pikmin shorts and Star Fox Zero short were really good though. Miyamoto was involved with both of those too.

I think Splatoon is the best bet.
That's mostly a thing in Japan =/
They want the CG to look like it's imitating 2D, and it doesn't look that great. 2D anime looks better than their 3D anime most of the time. I was even bothered by that in the recent Guilty Gear too. Cel-shading was excellent but the animation of the videos do not need low frame rates.
I kind of never want another Mario movie haha. I guess Fire Emblem would be OK but it'd have to be an anime film(s), not sure how well some of those designs would translate to live action, especially Kozaki's stuff. Splatoon could be a fun CG film though and I really liked the Star Fox Zero short. Wouldn't mind a full anime or CG film.
Live action-wise, I actually think Xenoblade X would be a good fit. Sci-fi seems like it'd be an easier sell than fantasy and a racially diverse cast could help internationally. Plus it could be their chance to actually expand on the story lol. That and I'm not sure how well Western movie audiences would respond to the first game's themes haha.
Metroid has some potential live action-wise too though I could see them going the cliched route of having Samus be mostly silent and having a robotic AI character provide all the banter. I'm really iffy on a live action Zelda though. Maybe they could do a "The Last Story" movie instead for a fantasy film or a film noir inspired Hotel Dusk - that could be prettttty awesome.

Boooooooooooooooooooo
The next decade or so is going to be really interesting for Nintendo.
All this branching out with theme park deals, movies, mobile games, etc etc shows at least their waking up and recognizing they need other places to make money for when they end up with a Wii U type situation and not using their IPs to their full potential is a waste.
I just hope they don't screw up and end up in a worse position than they are in right now.

The fact that they've stated they know live action movies are a bad idea is good news.
But what on earth do they mean by doing it themselves? They don't have any ability to do that, surely. Not to a cinematic release caliber.
The Star Fox Zero short was acceptable as a trailer for Star Fox. And only just about. As something someone would pay to watch? Get outta here, it's light years away from the required quality.
