It has been noted that Nintendo wants to make movies. Other supposition also rose regarding turning Super Mario Brothers into a movie is escalating. However, many are wondering on how serious Nintendo truly is in venturing into the movie world.
The world of movies and trade has finally reached Nintendo and its firm. NeoGAF user GSR has now translated Kimishima's interview, shining some new light on Nintendo's movie efforts, and Kimishima said Nintendo is currently speaking with "a number of partners" and hopes to finalize a deal in the "not-too-distant future," reports Gamespot.
Moreover, Shigeru Miyamoto is involved with Nintendo's new film efforts and he did not say which Nintendo franchises may be spun into movies because the primary goal of making Nintendo movies is to expand the profile of the company's franchises, as noted by the same post.
"All I can say is that we'll make something everyone can enjoy," Miyamoto said.
It is undeniable that Nintendo has gained much dominance and popularity for many years. The move to venture into the world of movies is a plan that the company could for the coming years. Transformation and adaptations are just one of the things that most companies are looking forward to implement to attain stability.
In addition, Kimishima said, "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."
Despite the affirmations of venturing into the movie world, Nintendo is not rushing but rather checking the present condition and which segment would work out best for them. It is irrefutable that the competition is fierce, which is why proper measures need to be undertaken such as finding effective movie genre that would boost the returns of the company. To prove the latter, Kimishima added, "We've already tried [live-action], so perhaps not this time."
Word of Nintendo animated movies comes from Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima, who stated that the company just recently sold its stake in the Seattle Mariners baseball team, and it is going to use some of that money to finance its own movies, which it is still discussing, reports Slash Film.
