Nintendo reiterates that it plans more movies with its licenses after the success of Super Mario Bros.

The success of the film Super Mario Bros. it’s just the beginning of what promises to be a long relationship between Nintendo and Illumination. Mario’s adaptation is on track to reach 1 billion dollars in revenue and it seems clear that at some point we will see a sequel, but also other company games such as Legend of Zelda either metroid on the big screen.

Shigeru Miyamoto, creator and producer of Nintendo, has confirmed to the medium Nihon Keizai Shimbun that “without a doubt” participate in another film based on Nintendo licenses. There are no more clues about the next title, but in the past it has been rumored that donkey kong would have his own movie after appearing as a secondary in Super Mario Bros. The Movie. It would not be strange, because the character was chosen to accompany the Mario zone in the amusement park of Super Nintendo World.

In 2021, Miyamoto himself mentioned the possibility of working on more Nintendo films after the good impressions of Super Mario Bros., which at that time was almost complete in the absence of final touches. “We have a good feeling with it, but we must be careful not to betray consumers and meet expectations, we will continue to polish the film,” Miyamoto replied on this topic. “We would like to adapt other licenses for movies, people should experience IP in various ways. But we’ll go one by one, not all at the same time“.

A tribute to the world of Mario

“Super Mario Bros. The Movie It is a great animated film for the whole family, hilarious, spectacular and with an almost frantic pace, but very well measured”, we quote. It is a work that reintroduces us to characters we have known for decades, recognizable, but with a personality that makes them inseparable from their actors. It is a film that has kept us smiling in the cinema for 93 minutes. It is also a production that overflows with affection for Super Mario and for what it has meant, which will make us remember moments that we have spent with the plumber, alone or in company, with friends or family, two weeks ago or 10 years ago. It is a film that reminds us that this immortal character has made us happy all our lives, and that he will do so for a long time to come.“.
