Alright. Let me correct you on the second one. For the record. Nintendo had NOTHING to do with the Mario and Legend of Zelda cartoons. They choose poorly when giving the approval to the cheaply tv animation company DIC(of all places) to make animated shows based off of Nintendo's video games. Nintendo's commercials are very creative. So its puzzling to me why they can't go beyond from doing commercials if they don't want anyone else 'ruining' their series. I've always believed that Nintendo should have opened up a studio for things outside of ads.
The only cartoons I think they ever took part of in terms of development were Pokemon and Kirby.
Thanks for the correction, I never got too into the cartoons for obvious reasons, the Pokemon and Kirby cartoons were/are pretty meh in my opinion. I just feel like most of their established characters could easily slip back into those cheap, generic, "escapade of the week" formulas. I'd definitely like to see them dedicate a ton of talent and resources to making a solid, entertaining show, but it feels more like they'd go with the 4kids route at this point.
