Some of nintendo's properties would make excellent movies or shows. Star Fox, F-Zero, and Splatoon immediately come to mind as those properties are full of expressive and stylish characters.
But Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc movies just don't need to be made. They are template IPs that were always designed to serve the gameplay, which is what Nintendo used to excel at. Movies about those properties are doomed to be shallow, unfaithful, or just a string of dopamine hits like the Mario movie.
