It’s a bit weird to announce this the next day A Livestream Nintendo Directwhere the games company generally unloads all its recent news. But it was intentional. The company wants fans to download its new application, Nintendo Today! – Yes, this exclamation is their own fact – to learn the latest news.

In the entire entertainment industry, there are so many new movies and television programs based on existing intellectual property that this reminder on the film “Zelda” can fall flat.

For Nintendo, investing in existing intellectual property has proven a financial strategy. His film “Super Mario Bros” reported $ 1.3 billion at the box office with a production budget of $ 100 million, making it the 18th highest world version of all time.
