Nintendo introduced on Friday that its live-action “The Legend of Zelda” film will premiere on March 26, 2027.
It’s a little bit bizarre to announce this the day after a Nintendo Direct livestream, the place the gaming firm often unloads all of its latest information. But that was intentional. The firm needs followers to obtain its new app, Nintendo Today! — sure, that exclamation is their very own doing — to be taught the newest information.
During Thursday’s Nintendo Direct occasion, Nintendo sport director Shigeru Miyamoto closed out the presentation by asserting the Nintendo Today! information app. Those who swiftly downloaded it had been rewarded since Nintendo used this channel completely to announce the discharge date of its ‘Zelda’ film.
The app goals to ship every day information about varied Nintendo video games, and customers can customise the app to prioritize their favourite franchises.
Across the leisure trade, there are such a lot of new motion pictures and TV exhibits primarily based on present IP that this reminder in regards to the “Zelda” film could fall flat.
For Nintendo, investing in present IP has confirmed a financially sound technique. Its “Super Mario Bros” film grossed $1.3 billion on the field workplace with a $100 million manufacturing finances, making it the 18th-highest grossing world launch of all time.
While “Zelda” may not have fairly the identical common recognition as “Mario,” needless to say the “Breath of the Wild” sport bought over 34 million copies, greater than the Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal video games.
As Nintendo prepares to unveil extra details about its extremely anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 system subsequent week, maybe we should always maintain a more in-depth eye on the Nintendo Today! app for early particulars.
