Rumor: Potential Nintendo and Disney deal, Nintendo mobile games on the Amazon Appstore
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 48 Comments
Spanish outlet Revogamers has put up a pair of new rumors about Nintendo. We’re generally wary about posting speculation, but the site did publish accurate reports last year about amiibo and Nintendo characters joining Skylanders.
In any case, here’s what Revogamers passed along:
Nintendo & Disney negotiate a big deal: films, videogames and interactive toys and merchansing
– amiibo are not included in Disney Infinity 3.0 because both companies have yet to set an agreement
– Disney wanted to have a Mario figure in Infinity, but Nintendo refused to lend their most important character
– This is not a dead end in the negotiation
– Both companies have been in conversations for years, as Disney has asked Nintendo many times to have Mario in films and other media
– Under new Nintendo rules (licensing characters) options for Disney are widened: they are talking about Mario starring in films, probably something related to Wreck it Ralph
– Disney is after Nintendo to have a game with Mario and Mickey together
– Nintendo is open to it but wants to set their own pace for it
Nintendo mobile games on Amazon Appstore
– Nintendo will offer their mobile games through Amazon Appstore
– The American company was the one approaching their Japanese partner for the deal
– In response, Nintendo asked Amazon about Amazon TV games
– It is not clear what is this for, but people at Amazon think that there is something related to Android in Nintendo’s future
– Nintendo is moving some of their data out of Amazon Cloud Servers, probably to DeNA ones
Obviously both of these rumors aren’t at all confirmed currently. I’ll let you be the ones to decide if they hold any truth!

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Deadline is reporting that Dwayne Johnson – otherwise known as The Rock – will be starring in a live action movie based on the Midway game Rampage.
In the original title, players could take on the roles of George the gorilla, Lizzie the lizard and Ralph the werewolf. The game tasks them with reducing different North American cities to rubble.
New Line Cinema is handling the film, which will begin production next summer. Plot details are currently being kept under wraps, but Johnson’s character “gets in [the monsters’] way.”
Ryan Eagle is handling the Rampage movie script. Beau Flynn will act as its producer.
Rampage originally came to arcades in 1986. It later ended up on the NES, N64, and GameCube in various forms.
