Super Mario Shows Nintendo How to Level Up at the Movies

I just read an article about Nintendo and their foray into the movie industry, and I have to say, it was eye-opening! Super Mario Shows Nintendo How to Level Up at the Movies talks about how the Japanese game company is working to finally scratch their long-standing itch of producing blockbuster films. And who better to lead the way than the lovable Mario?

The article goes on to say that Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has confirmed that their partnership with Illumination Entertainment, the company behind Despicable Me and Minions, is moving forward with the development of the Super Mario movie. The film is expected to be released in 2022, and although details are still scarce, it is said to follow the adventures of Mario and his brother Luigi in the Mushroom Kingdom.

What struck me most about the article was how Nintendo seemed to have learned from their previous mistakes, especially with the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, which was widely panned by critics and fans alike. It seems like they’re taking a more active role in ensuring their beloved characters are treated with care and that they resonate with audiences beyond just video gamers.

Personally, I’m excited to see how the Super Mario movie turns out—I grew up playing the games on my old-school Nintendo console, and I’m curious to see how they translate to the big screen. Plus, it’s always a joy to watch an entertaining movie with my friends, especially if it’s a nostalgic one that we all share.

Overall, it’s interesting to see how Nintendo is expanding their brand beyond just video games, and I’m excited to see what other projects they have in store for the future. Who knows, maybe we’ll finally get to see a Legend of Zelda movie? Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing the Super Mario movie when it comes out, and it’s nice to know that Nintendo is taking steps to level up their movie-making game.
