Anime based on Nintendo characters? Oh, my, I'm hyped. I truly want a Fire Emblem anime. I think it'd work great if they do it right.

I'm all for it.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

Ooh, I'd love some anime based off Nintendo IPs.

I will cry happy if they do a Fire Emblem anime. (They did one a long time ago, but there were only two episodes. T_T)



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Only "details" on the NX? Uh oh, that's not a good sign.

The details they release could also be the release date in 2016 :P

If Nintendo is thinking about making animes of their franchises, does that mean we could get a Kid Icarus series? Or a Spatoon anime, now that is all the rage in Japan?

 


Iirc Splatoon did have a manga or something already, but I wouldn't get my hopes too high if Pokemon and that Animal Crossing movie are any indication of how future animes will go.

Didn't they release one in the 90's?

I think a Splatoon anime seems more likely considering how hot of a property it is in Japan right now and how much easier it would be to work with considering its distinct setting and lack of story or main characters.  You could make a comedic slice of life anime that would have a lot of universal appeal without much trouble.
