| Soleron said: It's recognisable, simple and writes itself. So it makes sense for Netflix. The timing makes no sense for Nintendo though. Nintendo's been clear so far that ventures into phones and other media are to service and sell their console business. If they haven't got a writer yet, it'd be unlikely to air before the 2015 Zelda game comes out. |
This is more of a long term thing for Nintendo. Per Iwata from last year:
In the January Corporate Management Policy Briefing, I talked about our policy of actively utilizing character IP. Since then, even more people than before with license and other associated business proposals using Nintendo character IP have contacted us.
We are not at a stage where we can share the specifics with you today, but we are seeing possibilities in licensing character IP in areas Nintendo has never worked before. I expect to be able to discuss some of the details before the end of this calendar year.
From leaked Sony memos they have a deal with Sony for a Super Mario CG movie as well.
