Theorists, Nintendo is getting into the movie business. No, I don't mean the old live action Mario movie, I mean the NEW Mario movie and MORE! See, Nintendo recently acquired Dynamo Pictures, an animation studio. I think Nintendo is gearing up to take on the big leagues like Disney. Maybe, just maybe, they even plan to go head to head against Marvel. Let's discuss!

This movie studio could mean more lore now.

[dudeguy]

Here's what I've learned in recent years: When Nintendo is involved, anything is possible. If Minecraft, Zelda and Sora can be in the same game, then Nintendo can make an Avengers-level film franchise. If a live-action Pokemon movie can earn $400+ at the box office, then more Nintendo films can work too. If they can sell literal cardboard cutouts for $80, then they can invent the perfect model for a CYOA movie.

Having the NCU have an avengers style smash bros movie would be awesome

[AuroraIceFlame]

If the Nintendo cinematic universe actually happens I think my life will be complete

[tyrant-den]

The great thing about buying out Dynamo: even if the movies don't work out, they still have a bunch of great animators and tech.

[samthecreeper]

Okay, but a live-action Metroid horror movie is actually something I would watch.

METROID ANIME LET'S GOOOO!!!!


More intelligent comment:

The fact that Nintendo is doing their own thing and going to be making their own shows/movies instead of just selling out is amazing to see. Can't wait to see what they do.

[fireylorenz]

watching after strange world and lightyear... yeah this aged like fine wine

[TheAsobi]

One thing that should be point out with Dynamo Pictures is that they were originally founded by Nintendo and some other Studios for the purpose of making the CGI stuff for games (notably Metroid: Other M), so this might as well just be an easy purchase to have a studio that makes CGI Cutscenes and Trailers for their future games (since a lot of times, they have to outsource that right now).

[ChengTeoh]

Can't wait to see a Nintendo movie stream on a Virtual Boy.

[hawkedhoop]

I Can’t wait for the Animal Crossing Movie where Tobey Mcguire as Tom Nook and Helena-Botham Carter as Isabelle

[MrSmileyFaceGames]

Just a quick correction: the Witcher show is actually not following the video games but is actually using the books as source material. So it's not really a TV adaptation of a video game but more of a TV adaption of a book series.

[underdog_empire]

If Kid Icarus could have 6 animated short series, then anything is possible.

[austinkaos]

If they ever do a Zelda movie I'll be all over it

[professionalamateur]

MatPat is so obsessed with talking about Mario that both Film Theory and Game Theory this week are about it.

[manyboy]

I think the biggest thing you didn't mention is that Nintendo has already worked with Dynamo pictures alot.they actually make nearly all of the super smash bros trailers.

[aninkanamator]

Honestly, when I heard of the Nintendo movie, I thought, "wow they just can't let Sega win, can they?"

[ArcherSmash]

I'd be down for a Smash universe to come about.

[timothymatthews]

I don't know why but I got goosebumps when he started listing off all the movies they could/should do.

[FortecrossDan]

IMAGINE if they made a Nintendo cinematic universe... and then the final movie was a Smash brothers movie or something man that would be epic
