Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario, stated that the Super Mario Galaxy Movie helps reach audiences beyond Nintendo's consoles amid a tapped-out console market. In interviews, he emphasized evolving the character through digital media like streaming and films. Nintendo has no plans for a full crossover like Super Smash Bros.
Production has begun on Nintendo and Sony's live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, with the first official images of Princess Zelda and Link released via the Nintendo Today! app. The photos feature actors Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth in costume on a green field set. Directed by Wes Ball, the film is slated for a May 7, 2027 theatrical release.

During a recent Nintendo shareholders meeting, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed a light-hearted origin story for the dual-version releases of mainline Pokémon games. The anecdote involves Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri joking about surpassing Mario's success by selling two copies to each customer. This approach, starting with Pokémon Red and Green in Japan in 1996, has become a hallmark of the series despite mixed sales results against Mario titles.
