Nintendo was apparently trying to create a licensed game out of a huge property at one point

According to Unseen64’s Liam Robertson, Nintendo was, at one point, attempting to create a licensed game that would have featured a huge property. Robertson said that the franchise in question is “like Star Wars level big”. Additional information hasn’t been shared yet, but we do know that the IP Nintendo was interested in had nothing to do with gaming.
Below is a roundup of Robertson’s tweets:
Wow .__. we just found something crazy. Nintendo was trying to make a licensed game around one of the biggest properties I can think of.

.@IDidThingsOnce Can't say yet, but it is crazy!

@Phazon4G No, not a game franchise.

FYI, we are talking like Star Wars level big. If it wasn't from an official source, I simply would have not believed it.

Trashmania Trilogy put on hold indefinitely
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Jonathon Bont, creator of Trashmania Trilogy, said on Twitter today that the project has been put on indefinite hold. It’s not necessarily cancelled, but don’t count on it being revived anytime soon.
Bont explained that money set aside for Trashmania Trilogy’s development is now needed for his personal situation. He made sure to apologize to fans looking forward to its release.
Due to severe current issues in my personal life, I'm putting development of Trashmania Trilogy for Wii U on hold indefinitely. #gamedev
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) February 6, 2015
Development could resume tomorrow, next week, year, or never. Worst case I'll have to use money set aside for gamedev towards other things.
— Jonathon Bont (@Animan13) February 6, 2015
I hate to do this to everyone excited for the game, and I'd hate to put so much hard work to waste, but this is major turning point in life.
