Shigeru Miyamoto Says There's "No Doubt" That We'll Get More Nintendo Movies

thegamer.com:

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a massive success for both Nintendo and Illumination. Not only is it widely adored by fans of the games, but it's also on track to make at least $1.2 billion at the global box office, making it one of the most successful animated movies of all time. It's completely smashed the previous record for a video game adaptation, leaving Warcraft and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu in its dust, and was even reported as the number one film in at least 26 different countries.

Now, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that Nintendo is probably going to be pretty confident in its movie making abilities after this success. It's expected that Nintendo will continue to adapt its properties into movies, but Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has now pretty much confirmed that in a recent interview. Speaking with Japanese outlet Nikkei (translated by My Nintendo News), Miyamoto says that there's "no doubt" that we'll be getting more movies from Nintendo in the future.

Like I said, that's not too surprising considering how much money The Super Mario Bros. Movie has managed to rake in. Popular characters such as Rosalina, Wario, and Waluigi are still to make their big screen debuts, so there's plenty of potential ideas for a sequel or two, and Luigi voice actor Charlie Day has already opened the door to potential spin-offs by calling for a Luigi's Mansion movie.

However, it's interesting to note that Miyamoto doesn't specifically mention that Nintendo is only going to stick with Mario and the gang. Nintendo fans have been putting together a potential Nintendo Cinematic Universe since the Mario movie first
