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.

Have you ever took the time to read all the scan logs in the Metroid Prime trilogy? Great story in my opinion, especially Prime 2. The fact that you read these stories in the areas they took place creates a very strong ambience. For example: a fallen Luminoth tells his story about how he fought against a pack of Ing warriors. He defeated them one by one. The Ing were afraid and didn't dare attack the mighty Luminoth Warrior, but then the leader of the Ing pack came and they fought a ferocious battle. The Ing died, but he wounded the Luminoth Warrior greatly, but in his last moments he felt a bond of mutual respect between the mortal enemy of his race. All that's left is his corpse and the tale it tells. The fact that I can still remember this after all these years says one thing: I have a great memory. :p (and the story is awesome!)
