"Tom Whitehead considers why Nintendo's IP management should loosen up."

Cole Young almost made the jump from movie newcomer to game canon in Mortal Kombat 1, but a last-minute time crunch shut it down.

A rare first-party Nintendo games sale has just gone live on Amazon with around a dozen of the company's titles discounted.

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
LOL like they weren't already for all these times!
And the moment they do, non-Nintendo gamers will claim that Nintendo "milks its own franchises too much and doesn't give enough attention {Read: Money] to third parties", and use that as a reason why their latest system is supposedly failing.
Nintendo's in a lose-lose on this one. I'd love to see more of their IP's get more spotlight time, personally, but non-Nintendo gamers will always find fault with any move Nintendo makes.
I agree Nintendo does need to do more with their IPs. If l was in charge of Nintendo I'd set up a new branch that makes movies. You could even call it Nintendo Movie Studios if you wanted. After that is done I'd get Guillermo Del Toro for Legend of Zelda, Jon Favreau for Star Fox, Joseph Kosinski for Metroid and Peter Jackson for Pokemon.
I feel like Nintendo has so many great IPs and they'd be perfect for the live action treatment that l hope someday it will happen.
I think we'll see that with the Nintendo NX.
