The Super Mario Bros. Movie has undoubtedly been a massive success for both Nintendo and Illumination, setting records across the board and putting a smile on cinema goers faces. Now, legendary video game creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, has reconfirmed to Japanese news site Nihon Keizai Shimbun that there is "no doubt" that he will make another film based on Nintendo franchises. We don't know what's next after the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it is sure to end up being another smash hit.
 
Mach Rider is on the way! You heard it here first.

I read the Mario movie is doing well so it will be interesting to see what is next.

They gave the head of Illumination a seat on the Board and established Nintendo Pictures. It's definitely a major part of their strategy.

Which I'm fine with as long as their main focus remains games.
 
Metroid but make it for the older crowd.

Cross between Alien and event horizon. Yeah.

I would like a cross between Alien and Prometheus. Something where Samus as a somewhat fresh space adventurer has to explore super ancient ruins alone. It should be very heavy on the atmosphere and discovery front rather than the action side. I didn't really care for Aliens as it was too much sci-fi action. The sci-fi horror of Alien made it so claustrophobically superb.

I wonder if Nintendo would allow something like that to be produced in live-action though. It would require a tight script, excellent director and big budget to not fall into the poor category of Paul W.S. Anderson's films like Monster Hunter.

Zelda's next makes most sense.

Starring Ryan Gosling.

An animated Animal Crossing film, but it's super dark and violent.

Animal Crossing mixed with Saw and Walking Dead. That would be incredible.
 
Donkey Kong and Luigi Mansion are the obvious choices for the next movie. After that? Who knows?

Everyone and their grandma knows that Zelda and Pokemon(a more tradicional one) will be made at some point, but more than that its a shot in the dark. A Star Fox film in a similar style to Top Gun would be fun(animated). But again, who knows.
 
Edited to be more specific
Animated movies/TV series I'd like to see.
Punch Out: Anime movie
Star Fox: Theatrical like Mario
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Anime series
Astral Chain:Anime series
Fire Emblem:Anime series
Advance Wars:Anime series
Golden Sun:Anime movie

Well, after the Mario movie sucess is kinda expected. There are others great canditates to become a movie.
 
I would like Zelda, but it's probably gonna be Smash. It's the one with the most earnings potencial.
 
How about focusing on making games and better hardware instead of movies?

Captain Toad
Pikmin
Starfox
Donkey Kong
Luigi's Mansion
Kirby

Animated movies for the above IPs have massive potential and could be hits with the general audience.
 
It would be a miss not to do a Luigi's Castle short for Halloween, showing us what happened to Luigi during his time at the castle he's found in the SMBM.
