Nintendo has been having a lot of success with its recent move to create films based on its popular games, as demonstrated by the hit movie *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*. In a recent interview, translated by Twitter user Erasu, *Mario* creator Shigeru Miyamoto explained that this strategy is a way for Nintendo to ensure its beloved game franchises endure for years to come.
Shigeru Miyamoto explained that video games often feel outdated quickly, either with each new sequel or when new gaming consoles are released. This means that to keep older Nintendo games accessible to modern players, services like the Virtual Console are important.
Miyamoto explained that people primarily remember the game *series* themselves, not individual titles. While new game releases naturally replace older ones, he finds it disheartening to see past creations become limited to services like Virtual Console. This feeling actually motivated the team to begin video production, hoping to preserve their work beyond just re-releases.
Miyamoto also discussed how the Nintendo Museum helps people enjoy the company’s classic consoles and games. However, he acknowledged the museum has limitations, and pointed out that video game content can last indefinitely.
He believes Nintendo will continue to grow into an even bigger and more recognizable brand. He often explains their goal is to give people compelling reasons to choose Nintendo products. Ultimately, he hopes Nintendo becomes such a staple that, instead of asking which game to buy when starting first grade, families automatically associate the milestone with getting a Nintendo console.
Miyamoto explained that the Nintendo Museum greets visitors with characters from many different Nintendo games, and each character has their own dedicated exhibit. The main goal of the museum is to showcase Nintendo’s history of products and consoles.
So, we really wanted people to *get* Nintendo, not just the games, so we built this area to showcase all our big franchises. Think of it like a first step – a way to re-introduce everyone to Mario, Zelda, and all our other worlds, just like you might experience them at a theme park or in a movie. We definitely see games as the core of everything, but we’re hoping to build a lot more around those franchises – a whole universe of experiences, really. We want it to be a place where anything Nintendo can dream up can happen!
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a huge success in 2023, earning more money than any other film that year. It outperformed popular movies like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Oppenheimer, and Barbie, becoming the top-grossing film of the year, according to a May 2024 report.
I was so excited to hear they’re officially making a sequel! Apparently, it’s going to explore the more outer-spacey side of the Mario world, which sounds amazing. They’re calling it *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, and it’s coming out on April 3, 2026 – I’ve already marked my calendar!
This is clearly designed to provoke a strong reaction. The discussion centered around Nintendo broadening its franchises and creating a museum where fans could experience classic Nintendo consoles and technology. Here’s the relevant question and its answer.
