Nintendo planning to make movies
 

Pokemon movies still come out annually, the 19th pokemon movie hits this July.

I suppose these will be CG with Pixar like graphics. Mario and Zelda are probably the two obvious ones.

Yeah, I'd love to see a movie where the main character doesn't even speak. :roll:

I can't see most Nintendo properties making a successful jump to film. Their IPs are just not story oriented. What possible story could you make for Mario? Sure he's one of the most iconic characters ever made but so is Mickey Mouse and when was his last movie released? There's a reason for that. The Legend of Zelda's stories are pretty bare bones as it is, I can see a decent movie being made either live action or CG but I doubt it'd be too successful and it'd be really easy to mess it up. Metroid? Same situation as Zelda. I can't think of any other franchise that could pull off a movie. Maybe a Star Fox CG movie.TV shows could definitely work for a few franchises like Star Fox. Kirby has already been done but that worked out.

The movies that Nintendo plan to make ain't going to be live-action; this tweet clears up this:

I see what you mean, but it wouldn't be hard to drop the framework of a typical love/adventure story onto of Zelda or Mario movie. Show Mario/Link as the humble peasant with a crush on the princess, she gets taken, Mario/Link does the whole heroes journey triumphing over evil and winning over the girls heart in the process. It'd be typical, but not impossible.

That's cool, I hope they make a CGI Star Fox movie, that's one IP that works best as an animated film.

All I want is a Metroid movie.

You're jumping way ahead in the cinematic universe.

Pokemon is tried & true, would be cool to see them do a quality CG film in the vein of those Pikachu opening features.

I was just thinking about the old mario movie and how easy it would be to make a decent Super Mario Bros. movie. In live action or animated.

It's just guy rescues princess from evil monsters in a colorful fantasy world. Why was that so difficult to do before?

I'd prefer live action. It could look really pretty.

I am hoping for Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Star Tropics, Super Dodge Ball, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, and Gargoyle's Quest.

If Capcon is involved then Megaman and Breath of Fire.

If Squire gets involved then Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest.

I heard the movies Nintendo wants to make, are 3D CGI animated movies, not live action ones.

Kirby movie. Make it so.

I'm hoping they go animated. Also hoping that this doesn't turn out like the 90's Mario Bros. movie.

Guess we note know why that Disney game was cancelled.

Maybe we'll see that Zelda movie after all.

As long as it's better than the show.

It makes a lot more sense to make them animated, you can do more with that then live action.
