Disney Wants Mario To Eventually Meet Mickey Mouse

We heard earlier today about the crossover between Skylanders and Nintendo’s very own Toys to Life series, amiibo. IGN quizzed Disney Interactive vice president of production John Vignocchi about whether there’s a chance that a Disney crossover could ever happen as it’s something some fans have been hoping for. Vignocchi says that he would love for that to eventually happen, but nothing is on the cards just yet.

“Hopefully, the day Mario meets Mickey Mouse is not that far away,” Disney Interactive vice president of production John Vignocchi said in an interview.

John Blackburn, Disney Interactive’s Avalanche Software vice president and general manager, joked that the dream team will happen whenever Disney CEO Bob Iger “buys Nintendo.”

  1. They should probably buy Nintendo right now because I don’t know what the hell they’re doing right now. The only thing that’s doing right is 3ds and I’m happy with new 3ds but on the other hand…

    1. If Disney took control, Nintendo will just become a toy brand and movies milked every year with their games ceasing to exist! That is what Disney did to Marvel

      1. You’re talking out of your arse. Since Disney bought Marvel, we’ve gotten a properly funded and awesomely realised cinematic universe and the comics are still going strong. Marvel is still run by Marvel, they just have unlimited resources now.

        1. BULLSHIT! Lmao… Do you really believe that crap you just uttered?

          I absolutely LOVE MARVEL!! Always have. Always will. Now with Disney buying the rights to Marvel the movies have been good. But NOT TRUE TO COMIC BOOK FORM!!! Remember those WOLVERINE MOVIES? The 1st one was nothing more than a CHICK FLICK that could’ve debuted on “LIFETIME & OXYGEN”.

          D.C. is doing good. ESPECIALLY THOSE CARTOON STRAIGHT TO DVD & BLU RAY MOVIES!!! Marvel has become more family than ever. While D.C. is more for adults.

          1. Wolverine/X-Men movies were done and owned by Fox you moron and they’re the ones who once fucked the series with X-Men 3 and then Wolverine. Marvel themselves didn’t ruin any of their own franchise. Maybe it’s there mistake to sell off their key rights to dickheads like Fox. But they had troubles back then. Now thanks to MCU, Marvel is bigger and better than ever. D.C is alright with the cartoons in a serious note but they’re seriously going too dark toned and serious with their story that sometimes it seems it was taken too far to appease their fanbase who thinks maturity is always the best way for comics. No it’s not and sometimes it’s better to add a little fun and humor on the side. Look at Man of Steel. It split its own fanbase for that very reason with the whole darker toned Superman and destruction porn which I personally didn’t have an issue with.

            How I see it, both Marvel and DC are good in polar opposites: Marvel movies rock and DC animated rocks.

      2. OH just like it is now… Nintendo’s 2015 e3 has prove to all their loyals fans that they care more about those stupid amiibos than makong games for the wiiu.
        I feel tricked for buying the wiiu on day one… I hope that star fox zerp is awesome but even if it is i would probably never touch the nx.
        Fuck you nintendo.

      3. Ridley 4 Smash DLC!

        *snickers* Bahahahahaha! Thanks to Disney, Marvel has more than enough money to make their own cinematic universe. If that’s a bad thing, I don’t want to see a good thing!

    2. Reality is Dolphin Revolutionized Cafe NX

      If Disney get Nintendo, then all the staff from Nintendo will be fired/laid off, doors will be closed, Nintendo wouldnt even exists as a name while Disney has all ip´s and then they license them for EA to develop games for. Kinda shitty future you are wishing for Nintendo.

      But yeah Nintendo has been acting clueless lately and its dissapointing but selling a company to Disney is never a solution, trust me on this one.

        1. Yeah, I mean Lucas Arts are still around ever since Disney bought Star Wars, right? Oh wait, they shut down the company straight away….

        2. Yeah, Pixar that has to make shitty sequels so Disney can make more money and ignore movies that are awesome get ignored. (Wall-e)

          Look Nintendo climbing up with their next console. They got lazy but they are going to fix their shit. I refuse to believe that they won’t get over this… They can’t be that stupid.

          1. Ridley 4 Smash DLC!

            Sadly, with Iwata at the helm, Nintendo is going to apologize, fix the problem for a few months, then go right back to failing. Then the process will repeat. Nintendo will apologize, fix the problem for a few months, then go right back to failing. The day Iwata is fired will actually be a blessing… unless he’s not the only idiot at Nintendo in line to take his place.

      1. It cannot happen anyways. Japanese law prohibits Western companies from buying Japanese companies like Nintendo.

      2. At first I thought you were an asshole for saying that, but I think… I would rather see Nintendo die than get sold off. NOT that I want Nintendo to die. I want them to be around as long as the Earth keeps spinning.

  2. Don’t ever give in Nintendo! Disney will just gather your ips and leave them stagnant like Marvel and LucasFilm! Plus working with Universal parks is a way better idea!

    1. How are Marvel and LucasFilm now stagnant? If anything, their properties are being utilized better than before!

    2. Marvel before Disney wasn’t as good as they are now and Star Wars no longer has to worry about George Lucas fucking it up like the prequels. Episode 7 is looking promising and faithful to the hardcore and old school SW fans.

    3. Ridley 4 Smash DLC!

      Stagnant? I guess that’s why DC is rushing their own cinematic universe so they can compete with Marvel’s. >.< Disney owning Marvel is the best thing that has ever happened to Marvel in recent years. And it could be worse. Fox, of all companies, could actually own Marvel right now. *shudders at that prospect* As for LucasFilm, it's too soon to tell on that front. Oh wait. You must have a time machine & have seen how well the Star Wars movies from Disney have done. That explains how you know LucasFilm is stagnant. *snickers*

  3. Its simple you add mickey as a new challenger in super smash brothers… take his moves from epic mickey and you’re set.

      1. How does it feel to be the last, blind NintenSheep? Umm…you can keep making no sense while the rest of us actual fans make sure Nintendo can’t forget that without consumers, they are nothing.

  4. Then put kh3 on the Wii u and make the Mario a summon… Disney!. there are just as many main spinoff kingdom hearts games on Nintendo consoles as there are main series games on Sony consoles not including remix or collections

  5. I don’t know what my thoughts about diseny buying nintendo and trys to get mickey mouse meets Mario :/

    1. No, even though Nintendo did pretty bad this E3, this wasn’t the first time. Remember 2008 with the Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort? That was a colossal fail. Even though Nintendo messes up, they usually get back up. But this time Nintendo don’t have the fans as much as they did with the Wii. Nintendo should start catering for their fans and actually start making games what the fans want.

      1. Yeah, at least in 2008 they had a fucking proper Animal Crossing. And good laughs.

        Today was just cringe.

        Sony should buy Nintendo as soon as they have money to spend again.

    2. My god. Quit over reacting. They didn’t announce any new ground-breaking games that we’ve been dying to hear about. A lot of their direct was focused on what’s already released, which was shitty and totally sucked, but even if we didn’t hear about anything new coming that’s worth while (besides Star Fox), there’s still a boat load of games coming like Xenoblade, Yoshi’s Wooly World, Zelda U, Mario Maker, tons of stuff. Just… none of it is “new”. Disney buying Nintendo is a worse fate for us all.

      1. Quite over-reacting? Yeah. Because this was Nintendo’s 1st E3. They’ve only been ignoring us for how long? Lmao. No.

  6. Nintendo is just doing a lot of experimenting, nothing wrong with it but giving a mix of good and bad in the recent E3 does make people overreact.

    1. AGREED. I think a lot of the internet’s hate is just an overreaction. I am so glad someone else see’s it this way. Their E3 event was very lackluster, besides Star Fox, there was an over saturation of 3DS games, and too many old announcements everyone knew about, there was nothing “new”. but by no means is Nintendo in a bad position. In a few months, people will be lining up to buy Yoshi’s Wooly World, or Xenoblade, because it’s not like they didn’t have any games come, they just had nothing new to show off, but they always had plenty of games. And yeah, lots of experimenting. I don’t know how wise it was to use Metroid’s brand for something else, or to make an Animal Crossing party before making an actual Animal Crossing on the Wii U, but everyone makes mistakes.

      1. In the professional world, where most of us live, when you make a cluster-fuck several times over, you get fired.

        You must have just started gaming yesterday. The rest of us have been getting fucked for years. Sorry you’re late to the party.

        1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

          >>>The majority who defends yesterday’s disaster must truly be no older than 15 years old, they do not and will never understand the true power the empire has, what they have done with the Wii U is nowhere close to that power>>>

            1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

              >>>I was never blind, you humans assumed too much about me that wasn’t even remotely true>>>

              1. I knew! ;D
                I always figured we had a silient agreement. Technically we’re on the same side. Nintendo simply blew the fog of war

                1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

                  >>>Oh Professor X…I mean Jaded_Drybones, we want the same thing, we only use different methods>>>

          1. Totally agreed. They are killing it softly and that makes me really angry… Now we can tell that nintendo is doing “the sega” wiiu can be the saturn of nintendo a good console with awesome first parties then they slowly and quietly killed them and then tadaaaaaaa the dreamcast (NX) which people like ME, those who bought the U om day one wont buy so… A “sega” is what they are doing…

          2. That’s what I’m thinking. Hard to be too hard on them, they really don’t ‘understand.’

            Nintendo fucking with Metroid…that was just the last straw for all of us. >:/

  7. Mickey x Mario in something like Kingdom Hearts = SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
    Mickey x Mario in something like Disney Infinity = I Don’t want to live on this planet anymore

    1. God, I dream of the day we get a Kingdom Hearts-esque game featuring Nintendo characters. Or just Mario characters. Luigi would be a party member for sure.

    1. Haha, seriously. It sounds like two isolated parties talking about how amazing it would be to work with each other and it’s like!!! You are two of the largest comapanies ever!!!!!! It’s within your grasp!!!!!!

  8. Disney should never buy nintendo no matter how badly they this this gen. Disney disbanded lucas arts, i would not what the talent to leave. Battle Front is already being turned into something it shouldn’t

    1. Reality is Dolphin Revolutionized Cafe NX

      I agree so much, the Battlefront for 8th gen is not the one i loved back in the day. And who was the genius to license the rights of SW games to a fucking EA? Theres always a better solution than EA, always.

    2. Like Metroid getting turned into something it shouldn’t? Like F-Zero getting abandoned?

      Umm. Maybe Disney already owns Nintendo? Or maybe Nintendo is as bad or worse.

  9. Fuck Off Disney!!! Fuckers already bought and milked everything I grew up with. Ruined Marvel. Stars Wars and Indy are on their way. John Carter?? Tron?? Disney has been shit since Eisner’s run. Even ESPN sucks!!
    Nintendo has enough of their own issues without whoring out Mario to the Mouse. Fuck Off Disney!!

        1. Ridley 4 Smash DLC!

          Yeah. I guess that’s why they are killing it at the box office & why DC is in a rush to get out their own cinematic universe as quickly as possible that it’s on a collision course with failure. Hah! Disney has been the best thing to happen to Marvel in recent years.

    1. Marvel is being handled great. Tron was fun. (John Carter…I’ll give you that) Starwars gets JJ Abrams directing it? That dude breathed life back into StarTrek!!
      WTF are you complaining about?

      1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

        >>>Star Trek Into Darkness must be the most horrible boring garbage I’ve seen this millenia and John Carter is highly overrated>>>

        1. Lol. IDK, I was entertained. I’m a Peter Weller fan since he played the original RoboCop, so I’m probably biased.

          1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

            >>>I’ve never been a fan of Star Trek but of what I’ve been gathering about it, people like it first and most because they explored worlds and so on, that movie was the total opposite of it>>>

            >>>Endless talking and barely any good action and fighting, when I watch a movie about science fiction, I don’t want a movie with only boring drama that could have been done in crap like Melroce Place or whatever>>>

  10. I’d like to see a game just like Kingdom Hearts. But with all Disney and Nintendo characters (instead of those boring Final Fantasy characters). That would be awesome!

  11. Fuck you Disney. I dont care how popular Mickey and Mario are, I dont EVER want to see them in the same game together. Throw em together in movie cameos like Wreck-it-Ralf 2? fine go for it. But dont you ever throw Disney and Nintendo characters together in a cross over, or even worse, add them to Smash.

    1. Nintendo didnt want to… They let them use bowser but not mario… They dont want his golden mascot be touched by ANYONE!! thats also why bowser and dk are the one chosen for skylanders… Nintendo dont give a fuck about those!! And thats also why luigi is so fucking funny in luigis mansion and mario and luigi games but mario is so bland… They dont want to “spoil” their sacred plumber…

      1. All they had to do is give him at least several seconds of screen time and say “It’s a Me! Mario! Woohoo!” Bam. Mario fans would still go nuts without Disney harming his image. lol

  12. …John Blackburn, Disney Interactive’s Avalanche Software vice president and general manager, joked that the dream team will happen whenever Disney CEO Bob Iger “buys Nintendo.”…

    That is not a funny joke.

  14. Ridley 4 Smash DLC!

    Give me a Kingdom Hearts style game with Disney & Nintendo characters and I’ll be a very happy man. Oh & Monolith Soft has to be the team to develop the games since they are Nintendo’s very own Square Enix. Any one else at Nintendo would be a bad thing, in my opinion.
