I wouldn't hold onto any rumors like this. Nintendo gave away their IP before to make a movie and they hated it so much they said they weren't ever going to do it again.
This is probably just like the rumors going around a few months ago that was saying Nintendo partnered up with Netflix to make a live action Zelda show lol. Which turned out being completely false.
I dont knwo how I feel about this but one one hand I love old school 90's &nd before disney but now not so much and on the another if it was done right it could work. But i don't believe this is true at all. The comments on that article are literally the best thing i read in awhile
