Nintendo is clearly not done with the silver screen. The company has posted a brand new job listing for a 'Movie Project Promotion Manager', signaling that their Hollywood side quest is about to get a serious XP boost.
According to the listing, shared and translated by Genki_JPN and reported by Nintendo Life, the role will be based in Kyoto, Japan. Whoever lands the gig will be 'responsible for marketing and promotional activities for film projects utilizing Nintendo IP' - which, if you squint, sounds like there might be more than one film project cooking in the background.
After the absolutely galaxy-brained success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie pulling in over $1.3 billion at the box office, it makes total sense that Nintendo wants a dedicated person keeping the hype meter full on future projects. This isn't just a side mission anymore - this is main storyline stuff.
The real question now is: which IP gets the next cinematic treatment? Link dodging blockbuster budgets? Samus finally getting her live-action arc? Donkey Kong going full cinematic universe? Nintendo sitting on one of gaming's greatest rosters of characters and an in-house movie hype manager suggests they are not planning to bench the team anytime soon.
If you are bilingual, based in Japan, and your dream job literally involves promoting Nintendo movies for a living - well, the respawn point is in Kyoto. Get your resume ready, because this lobby is filling up fast.
