Based on the reports that Nintendo basically has their hands on the throats of the people making this and how that wouldn't be any different with future stuff, yes. I'm pretty sure of it. For all their short-sightedness, Nintendo is nothing if not consistent with The Brand™. Which, if we're talking about things like Mario and Zelda and Metroid... this is an inherently good thing.

Now, I'd love to see this evolve into live action endeavors but baby steps and all.
