This is a global event for the international audience, not something for the game industry alone. Mario is recoginized everywhere in the world, Sony doesn't have a character like that.

Mario 35th anniversary will be crazy. Also, the Univeral Studio x Nintendo should be done by then too.

Yup, the Nintendo Land section of Universal in Osaka is going to open in 2020 right in time for the Olympics. It's probably what kinda pushed Nintendo to get the deal done in time. 

A Mario CG movie for 2019 or 2020 woud make a lot of sense too. 

Don't know about that. Mario works as a game. As a movie? God no I can only imagine the cringe lol

Agreed, I think only side characters can work in a movie, for example I'd be really interested in a Yoshi movie where Mario doesn't appear and where Yoshi can't talk (not even saying "Yoshi")

Personally, I think a Luigi Mansion movie is the easiest one to write and enjoy. It may even do better than the recent Ghostbuster movie too.

I saw that as it happened and I was like, shit... I know where I'm going summer of 2020 lol 

 

BTW... this should end the silly "debate" about which character is bigger, Mario or Pikachu.

Some actually said Pikachu?!
