And that's kind of the problem with Nintendo; they don't seem willing to spend money to earn money. Having their own movie production company would allow them to make sure the movies turn out good. I've said that Mario, and perhaps more so, Metroid would make great movies. If done right. I'm not sure Sony can do that.

Production IG seem to be a pretty good fit though; they've worked with Nintendo before.

Yeah but do we even know if Nintendo could make a good movie? We saw what happened when Metroid's creator was given full story control for a more cinematic Metroid. Imagine sitting through 2 hours of that in a theater. "The baby ... the baby ... the baby ...". 

This is a GREAT video why Other M failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFm1ei6mjo really, you should watch it, 11 min long.

But I agree, Nintendo haven't really shown any great writing chops. Their games have thin stories. But setting up a new company means hiring guys that knows what they're doing. Don't let Nintendo write the story! Hire someone who understands that shit.
