By moving forward with such activities globally, we aim to increase consumer exposure to Nintendo characters by making them appear in places other than on video game platforms

So many possibilities. Smash Bros. toy lines? New Super Mario Bros. Super Show? Metroid and Zelda movies?
 
Well someone's getting a TV show either way, and maybe original game soundtracks will appear outside of Japan's Club Nintendo.

Also this is probably hinting to Mario being in Wreck-it Ralph 2 even though there's already been mention of it being a possibility.
 
I'd love to see increased merchandising. I'm a huge fan of Mario merchandise

This is exciting. Maybe we can have a modern Mario show where it stays true to the series and it has voice acting (Mario talking as Charles Martinet sounds better than you think).
 
But Nintendo hasn't bought them; they just announced that they will be developing games exclusively to Nintendo.

By the way, I think it's wrong topic, sister.
 
Next Level Games did a great job with the Mario series and I look forward to more games from them.
