Last year, Nintendo (and The Pokemon Company) obtained a patent in the United States which involved summoning a character and letting it fight another. Reaction to the news was negative and many wondered what the impact could be for future games.

While hopes of a Super Smash Bros. movie had never been higher, it’s time to pump the breaks a bit as Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has indicated that such a project won’t be happening anytime soon.
Miyamoto was recently discussing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and how it has characters like Pikmin and R.O.B. With some fans discussing the possibility of a “Nintendo Cinematic Universe”, Polygon asked how how much he wants to grow Mario’s world to bring in other characters.

Shigeru Miyamoto says he’s “on a mission to try to include Pikmin in any kind of Nintendo product we put up”
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s no secret that Pikmin is Shigeru Miyamoto’s baby. Miyamoto was also responsible for the likes of Mario and Zelda, but he’s always had a soft spot for the plant-animal hybrid creatures.
Even when Pikmin wasn’t lighting the sales charts on fire, Miyamoto never gave up on Pikmin. The series has now seen four different titles and is popping up elsewhere. You may have spotted Pikmin at Super Nintendo World, and now the creatures even have a cameo appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

However, don’t expect a 1:1 recreation of those titles. Super Mario Galaxy is the focus at the end of the day, but we’ve seen elements of Super Mario Odyssey and even the inclusion of Fox McCloud from Star Fox.
