I’m not with you guys and the Nintendo TV shows and movies. I can see Metriod. That could work. Besides that no. Nintendo has always been about the gameplay. Their stories are minimal at best. Rescuing princess from the castle and a like. How do you make that into a movie and it not be bad?
Metal Gear Solid is barely a game anymore and more of a movie you occasionally get to play so that would get my vote.
I could get behind that. Some stories in the gaming of Nintendo could be brought to a series. But I think that it’d lend itself more towards the animated side of things over live action. On the flip side though it could lend Nintendo to actually create new stories for the gameplay so we’re not doing the same stories over and again. These could even be animated films over being series. The freedom there could help it.
But I can also see your point in that Nintendo hasn’t had much in that realm in years. Yeah Mario isn’t the best contender but Zelda, Metroid, and the like could be.
Agree with you in regard to Mario but Zelda has had some kick ass stories of the years. That could be a fantastic Fantasy movie if done right. Animation may be a better option though.
