God, I hope they hire actual writers.

As long as it's not Shigeru.

But yeah, as Onion said, for a movie with no gameplay, they'll know the importance of storytelling. Hopefully that means they'll hire someone with experience in this field. If they do it in house, then perhaps they'll look towards Monolith. But I think it's better to get someone who has written for an actual movie before.

Shigeru did help make the Pikmin shorts. Plus Nintendo wants to have oversight on the direction of their IPs so they'll have to be smart on who can help provide that direction while creating a good story and product.
