Kimishima says he expects the company to do "as much as possible by itself", indicating the company is not interested in outsourcing their franchise rights to triple-A hollywood studios. For the development of feature films Nintendo is reportedly setting up a separate film branch that will solely focus on the creation of the films.
The newspaper suggests that the company is working on a 3D animation feature film in which several characters from Nintendo franchises are expected to make an appearance.
