It's about damn time. Make Nintendo's IP mainstream again.

It's pretty simple, really.

Super Mario Bros. - animated movie.
The Legend of Zelda - live action or animated series.
Pokémon - no need to change what's there... but a more mature show would be appreciated.
Donkey Kong Country - animated series.
Metroid - live action movie.
Animal Crossing - anime.
Star Fox - animated movie.
F-Zero - live action or animated movie.
Fire Emblem - anime.
Kid Icarus - anime.
Kirby - anime.
Mother/EarthBound - anime.
Pikmin - animated movie (no, not a short one).
Punch-Out!! - live action movie.
Xenoblade Chronicles - umm, live action series I guess? I dunno.

And maybe they could find a decent way to make some Super Smash Bros. movie, but I can't see that ever working well.


It's super unrealistic to think there will be movies and shows for that many IP. I'd narrow it down.

Movies:

Super Mario Bros. - CGI
Donkey Kong Country - CGI
Metroid - live action
Star Fox - CGI
F-Zero - Animated/Cel-Shaded

TV Shows - 

Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda - Live action
Pokémon

Fire Emblem - anime maybe.
Kid Icarus - anime maybe.

The last two probably wouldn't even happen. They'd be far to niche to create a series who's purpose would ideally be intended to give them more brand recognition. Kid Icarus would be more likely, since it's more child friendly and therefor could break that niche somewhat.

I would love to see another Kirby anime happen, but it doesn't seem too likely to me. :/

They should make a Fire Emblem series... if done properly, that shit could be amazing.

Movies?

Come on Nintendo. Golden Sun/Xenoblade anime made by Madhouse or Ghibli. That would be huge!


They are a pretty conservative company, I hardly see them do that. Fire Emblem would be great too though.

They can make a Mario CGI movie, that would be cool. Using Mario RPG's plot as a basis to make something memorable.
Zelda would be nice as a live action series.
Metroid fits perfectly as a live action movie.
