Miyamoto Tempers Hopes for a Super Smash Bros. Film

His comments point to selective cameos as Nintendo’s path for its movies rather than a giant crossover.

Overview

  • Shigeru Miyamoto said a movie built around Super Smash Bros. is not happening anytime soon, responding to fan talk of a shared Nintendo film universe.
  • He added that he does not expect a single film to gather all Nintendo characters, setting limits on any future crossovers.
  • He reaffirmed his rule that Pikmin can appear across franchises and noted he wants to include Pikmin wherever it fits.
  • He discussed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as featuring Pikmin and R.O.B., with secret cameos and one surprise character playing a significant role.
  • Illumination’s Chris Meledandri said any cross-franchise nods arise from what feels fun and fitting in a scene, not from a master plan.
