Update: This is slightly related (using IP outside of games), so I’ll leave this here. Iwata also mentioned that when meeting with Universal, he was “surprised” by the company’s “extremely detailed” plans for Nintendo attractions at Universal Studios. Once the meeting finished and he returned to Japan, Iwata immediately talked things over with Miyamoto. Eventually, Universal’s attraction engineers met with “veteran Nintendo producers” multiple times on how to go about making Nintendo-themed attractions.

Nintendo has been heading into some interesting directions over the past few months. The company started to dabble with ventures that aren’t gaming-specific like figures, mobile games, and even theme park attractions thanks to a partnership with Universal. Things may not stop there.

While speaking at the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, CEO Satoru Iwata hinted at the company potentially expanding to “films and video content”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though Iwata elaborated much on this.
