Twitter user MichaelO2k spotted in the copyright records for the Illumination Super Mario Bros. animated movie two new companies that suggest Nintendo might be looking to release more movies based on its intellectual properties.

The two new companies listed are Nintendo Studios, LLC and M Brothers Productions, LLC. Other companies listed include Nintendo of America, Nintendo Co Ltd, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures.

Nintendo Studios could be a new company under Nintendo that will work on future movies and TV shows based on other Nintendo intellectual properties.

That promising for more projects. I feel like Nintendo has incredible Disney level IP of potential. Mario and Zelda could be extremely huge in the movie/series market. While Metroid could take the place of the absent Alien franchise that many movies have tried to take the lead on but failed.

Eh. Nintendo has never developed much lore, so there isn't really much material for screenwriters to work with. They'll have to make it all up, and that will result in rage among the core fanbases.

I find it completely inaccurate but extremely amusing that it's a Mario movie in spite of having nothing to do with the original content. What I mean is I like it because it's a Mario movie in name only.

The Zelda cartoon has a similar appeal.

It was apparently quite a mess on the set. Hoskins and Leguizamo were so frustrated with the husband-and-wife directors that they drank on the set. The Mario and Zelda cartoons at least tried to utilize the source material.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was another movie that had fuck-all to do with its source content. Advent Children wasn't great cinema, but at least it was clearly identifiable as a Final Fantasy work.

Yeah. The cartoon is fun. And I heard the movie was hectic. But I still enjoy both.

I never saw either final fantasy movie. But with it being an anthology series, I'm surprised that they couldn't figure out a fitting plot.
