Nintendo gave them permission for this? Wow.

Yeah, if they gave permission for Wreck It Ralph, why not?  I read an article when that movie came out that said Nintendo send the producers a memo about what Bowser should look like when he tolds a cup of coffee, and what his mannerisms would be.

It also makes sense given their announcement in January to have more licensing opportunities for their character IP outside of merely video games.

Wreck-It-Ralph wan't made by a competing rival in the videogame business

Movies/TV shows are a bit different. ILM, Lucas' effect company did nearly all the Star Trek films. Companies care about money. Not wars.
