(After they're released, obviously...)
A movie and an animated TV show. Respectively.
Pikmin: You just need to look at Pokémon, what boosted Pokémon RBY sales? The anime, of course (how good it was...). Don't believe me...?
Let me tell you an story. There's this small girl that received a pokémon videotape in her mail (this was more than a decade ago stfu). The video contained a small part of the first episode, that part where Ash was carrying Pikachu with him on Misty's bike. So, uh, she saw seeing the video, until it stopped right when Pikachu jumped to hit the Spearows with thundershock or whatever. Needless to say, she really wanted to know what happened after that...
-True story-
This girl is one of Andre(BlackNerdComedy)'s friends. She has her own channel and everything.
Let's be honest, licensed games still sell (sadly, in most cases). If this Pikmin tv show ended up being actually good, the sales of the Wii U and Pikmin 3 would be boosted by a lot...
Metroid: Why a movie, you ask?
Well, for starters, the Metroid franchise is based on a movie franchise: Aliens. Do I really need to mention how the Metroid universe would fit in a movie/trilogy?
Same case with Pikmin: Movie's good. People will want to buy the game.
HOWEVER, Nintendo can make even more people want the next metroid game with the movie...it would be pretty simple to do, actually. Look at it this way: Metroid 3: Fusion ends with Samus escaping from the explosion, Adam says she's now wanted by the galactic federation and whatnot. Samus says something like "This is not over yet...". And then, right after that scene, a trailer of Metroid U, a continuation of both Metroid Fusion and the movie, is shown in the same way as that Pokémon videotape I mentioned up there.
Don't like the idea of a movie? No biggie, a Metroid TV show (live action) for AMC/FX would work wonderfully! I can already see an episode where Samus is walking on Brinstar...and then falls from some crumbling blocks to "hell"! (it's on the wiki look it up >_>)...until the three Etecoons show her how to wall jump. "Kthxbye guys see you at the end of the Super arc"
So, what do you think? Would a movie and a tv show boost both Wii U and those games' sales?
