Has anyone heard if Nintendo is looking to make a cross IP MMORPG?

Also how would you implement the Massively Multiplayer part? Would there be multiple Marios, Links and others walking around if players on those servers want to all play as them? Do NPCs take over as storyline characters like Kirby or are those quests not available? I just feel there are way too many variables to get this to work properly. It would be entirely easier to handle as a single player game than an MMO because you have to answer for too much with an MMO featuring specific characters that need to be used.

 I think I vaguely hinted at this in my OP. But to state it boldly, you couldn't play as the main characters from that IP. Nobody could BE Mario, Link, Zelda, Samus, Kirby, etc. BUT you could help them in their daily quests and get more involved in their stories and become a hero in your own right. We could have PvP by allowing the player to choose sides in the game. Granted for some IPs it would be difficult to imagine another hero like in the Zelda franchise... But that could be solved by straight away PvP free-for-all and the winner gets to be the leader/character... Who knows. I would like to refine these ideas by bouncing them off of you guys and then perhaps create a mock-up here as well...?
