creating film/video content is part of Nintendo's plans to strengthen the brand
- they're doing this to make sure their IP can reach even more people than before
- Nintendo is in talks with various companies and something should be finalized in the near futures
- Hollywood collaborations are possible, but are just one avenue Nintendo could take to approach a global scale
- Nintendo wants to use IPs that are quite popular and they're working on something everyone can enjoy
- Nintendo is aware that there is a strong demand for a Legend of Zelda movie
- Nintendo cites the failure of the Super Mario Bros. movie as a reason why they'd like to handle most things themselves
- doesn't seem like movie projects will be fully live-action
- Nintendo has a strong stable of IP and would like to do something with Mario and Zelda
- the move into creating movies is just another way Nintendo is looking to expand their brand recognition
- selling off much of their stake in the Seattle Mariners is part of that strategy
- Kimishima believes the company needs to invest heavily in new areas such as film production moving forward
- proceeds from the sale of their stake in the Seattle Mariners will actually be used to fund those investments
- no official date for the release of film projects at this time, but looking to create something before 5 years in time
- making money from films is certainly hoped for, but their main goal is to increase the number of people who follow Nintendo
- Nintendo's core business is still making games and platforms for game playing
- Nintendo has learned a lot from making Pokemon films and knows it's important for the films to guide players to the games
- Miyamoto will be involved in the film creation as well
