Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Rumor: Nintendo and Disney reached a deal for movies, games, etc, and Nintendo mobile games on the Amazon Appstore

A deal with Disney could pave the way for some Star Wars rights. While EA has those now, Disney gets the ultimate say with that IP.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Around the Network

Interesting, that would expand Nintendo's horizons and broaden their consoles audience...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

The deal with Disney would be a game changer.



Man, if all of this is true, the next generation for Nintendo will really shake the whole industry.



Nintendo x Disney game could be awesome

I love kingdom hearts (ff x disney) but imagine to travel with mario/link in the disney franchises :D



Around the Network

I like.



Wait, if the NX use Android (wether it will be it's OS or it will play Android games), does that mean there's high chances that it's a handled ?

Because I don't see the point of Android smartphone games on console.



The Wreck it Ralph line is questionable; I thought I once read somewhere that Nintendo actually offered Mario to be used, but the creators of the movie couldn't really find a way to include him in the movie while doing justice to Mario's legacy, so they put him on aside for a sequel. So that's pretty much the opposite of what's said here.

I've always thought Disney and Nintendo would go well together, I'd like to see some of this rumour happen. The Mario x Mickey game needs to happen. Throw Darth Vader in there and you'd have the three most recognizable pop-culture figures ever in the same game!

Doesn't really matter what Disney want to do, EA have an agreement to those rights and until that expires it will continue to be theirs.

And expire they will, eventually. Besides, we don't know what the contract says and I hardly think Disney's lawyers are afraid of EA's. Of course, EA may be fine as long as their Star Wars games don't underperform. But there's still Marvel... This rumor has quite a few people on edge. Hopefully, if its real, their relationship will become stronger with time. I wan't to see real competition and fanboys crying.

weird on amazon appstore and put Nintendo games there. so they are still in a very small market if they would do that... iOs and Android is the name of the game for mobile...
