“By getting deeply involved in the movie production with the aim to put smiles on everyone’s faces through entertainment, Nintendo will continue its efforts to produce unique entertainment and deliver it to as many people as possible,’ the company said.
The Super Mario Brothers film was one of the year’s biggest films, being overtaken by only Barbie with 1.3 Billion dollars (1.4 Barbie). The film was a triumph for the studios, therefore a sequel doesn’t surprise anyone as they would love to capitalize on “Mario Fever.”
