I would propose a larger deal with Disney actually

- There will be a Nintendo Land section at all Disney parks that brings all the various Nintendo IP characters together in one amusement area.

- Disney gets rights to Nintendo IP for motion picture development including a live action Zelda trilogy, Mario characters in Wreck It Ralph sequels (which set up a standalone Mario CG spin-off movie), and other animated Nintendo IP.

- Deal for yearly Disney/Marvel games on Nintendo platforms, so Nintendo isn't stuck supporting their future platform on their own. Retro Studios could work on the Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy, while expanded the second studio could work on whatever else they want. Exclusive Star Wars games could also be worked into the deal. 

Took you long enough to say this. Exclusive Star Wars games would have to  be worked into the deal. Star Wars is still kind of a big deal.

Yeah sure, why not. Turn it into a Nintendo-Disney console, Disney encompasses so many brands that would be valuable to Nintendo if done right ... Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, ESPN sports, Pixar, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. etc. 

I think Disney would be down for such a deal too. If the Disney IP could operate sort similar to how Rare was to the N64 in the 90s ... supplying 2-3 badly needed good to great games per year, it would expand Nintendo's appeal tremendously while allowing them to take more time and risks with their own software. 

Throw in Japanese third party support like Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, and Dragon Quest and you have a platform that can appeal to a fairly wide audience base.
