Hmm, interesting. I wonder if it's true and if Nintendo's really going all out into the movie business. I don't think Mario is a really good fit for a film, but hopefully it's only the stepping stone before the adaptations with real potential start showing up, such as Metroid, Zelda and Star Fox.

I don't think Mario works in live action ... but in CG with a good director like the Samurai Jack guy, yeah I can see that working. Kids will watch any CG animated movie and this will probably draw a lot of adults who grew up with Mario too. Could be big. 

Big win for Sony too no? Do they have any big family CG movie properties? Seems like Disney and Dreamworks Animation hog the entire market. This could get Sony into the game.

Does that mean the PS5 will have games by Nintendo? And the HDS will have games from Sony?

The fact that this will be animated makes a lot more sense for the world of Mario.

Though, still taking it with a grain of salt...

That would have happened during the 90's if only bith of their CEO's weren't so money hungry.

doubt it cause this deal mainly relates to the film disvion of Sony's which is completely different from the gaming divsion.

It is sort of strange Nintendo would opt for Sony though. I'm sure Dreamworks or even Disney or Universal would have taken them up on a Mario movie too. 

It will also be kinda weird if Mario turns into a big movie franchise and as such becomes a big money maker for Sony (and Nintendo of course). The day where we see a headline like "Sony counting on Mario to boost profits" may actually happen, haha.
