Hollywood producers say Nintendo should start making their own movies

Adrian Askarieh, CEO of Prime Universe Films

"The Nintendo brand transcends the platform. You can say Nintendo and for a lot of people it still represents video games. Everyone knows Nintendo, kids, adults; it's multi-generational. They have these wonderful properties that most of us have grown attached to. For them to not take advantage of that would be a bad idea. That was a huge risk for Marvel, but they did it and look at them now. The more iconic the characters are, they better the movies they will make."

Roy Lee, co-founder of Vertigo Entertainment

"Nintendo is one I would love to do. It's one of these properties that growing up I played every incarnation of their games from early Game Boy to GameCube to now the Wii U. You saw the progression of those characters from simple pixel versions, to now the amazing visuals they have for Mario. I feel like the world of Nintendo could translate well to the screen. I don't know what the movie is, but I feel like there is something there that could be done."
