Is it me or has Nintendo....
Made most to every popular game known to mankind a anime/cartoon. There's the terrible Mario and Zelda cartoon, there's a Kirby cartoon targeted at a very young audience, there's a F-Zero, Animal Crossing and the horrible Captain N. It's a broken record on popular games made into cartoons and anime. Anyone find this strange in general how Nintendo has made so many video game tv shows?

Cartoons=More exposure of their games=$$$
Gamers will pick up games because they think it looks interesting (or any other reason you may have), while little kids will have their parents pick it up because they moved around on a cartoon and looked cool. |

The F-ZERO GP Legend anime and the Kirby anime were actually pretty okay, though. And Best Wishes! looks decent too.
The rest of those mentioned (except the Animal Crossing OVA anime, which was apparently REALLY great but I haven't seen it) were made in the 80s, and as we all well know that was the period of Nintendo's marketing campaigns gone rampant- i.e. R.O.B., the Zapper, etc. |

I went to my local target and they had a rack that said "GREAT Movies for 5$"
On it they had the SMB movie. I don't think any of them watched it. It should have been in the trash bin. On-Topic: What V said. |

These TV shows, especially ones targeted at younger audiences, increase the potential base of customers for any merchandise related to the shows. So in other words, it's usually, if not always, a marketing strategy to increase sales revenue and profits.

Nintendo didn't directly make the cartoons, if in partnership with the creators. And it makes money.
Also, Sega did it too, and that was actually pretty decent. |

Pixar or Dreamworks needs to make a Star Fox movie with Nintendo.

Nintendo doesn't own copyrights to rareware anymore. Starfox won't be around for a while. |

Back onto Star Fox... Who'd voice everybody?
Based off 64.. Judging by their game voices.... General Pepper = Jeremy Irons? Fox = Haley Joel Osment? Falco = Samuel L. Jackson? Peppy = Larry the Cable Guy? Slippy = Adam Sandler? ROB64 = Ben Stein? Wolf = Morgan Freeman? Leon = Jackie Chan? Pigma = Gilbert Gotfried? Andrew = Nathan Lane? Bill = Billy Crystal? Katt = Ashley Tisdale? Andross = James Earl Jones? The random bosses wouldn't be voiced by anybody TOO famous. |
