If there was ever a time for Nintendo to expand beyond games and enter the film industry, it\u2019s right now. With the smashing success of the Nintendo Switch and a continuous stream of titles that easily eclipse the ten million mark in sales, this is arguably the most popular the company has been in its 100+ year history.<\/p>

This is a prime time for Nintendo to get out there with a product that\u2019ll appeal to the original generation of Nintendo fans and those who will carry the torch in the future, and releasing a bright and beautiful animated film is a perfect way to do that.<\/p>
