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:

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