Nintendo is running with its former president's proposal for an animated film studio.

Nikkei News confirmed Thursday that Nintendo is internally making an animated film for 2006.

Hiroshi Yamauchi announced his plans to found a new film production studio in September; it appears his proposal last month garnered support from Nintendo's major investors.

The initial story drafted plans for a movie based the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu poems. Nikkei now reports that Nintendo is considering a movie based on one of its own game franchises instead.

The new Nintendo team will also be responsible for executing a cross-promotional program for the next Pokémon movie and Nintendo DS, announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in October. Movie watchers with Pokémon games in their Nintendo DS systems will receive special content wirelessly.

so what do guys think of this one? i reckon it could be an interesting caper.

I bet if they have any success at all.......won't be too long before we see a Zelda or Metroid film on the big screen.

I would see a Zelda movie... if they don't mess it up like a lot of video game movies tend to.

A sequel to Super Mario Bros?

THE HORROR THE HORROR!!!fear

You know Dr. Strangelove. I heard somewhere around the Internet, I don't even remember anymore because it was a while ago. But they said that, they were gonna probably make a super mario brothers movie, and that Maryln Manson was gonna be in it lol. But anyway, that is really cool that Nintendo is making a movie studio...I will hope they can make a zelda now..that would be the best, I know they wouldn't screw it up.

Don't be afraid 😛

It would most likely be a remake with a whole different story, maybe even animated.

Its an "animated" studio so that kills the chances of live movies being made of things like Zelda.
