Nintendo was apparently trying to create a licensed game out of a huge property at one point

NE:
According to Unseen64’s Liam Robertson, Nintendo was, at one point, attempting to create a licensed game that would have featured a huge property. Robertson said that the franchise in question is “like Star Wars level big”. Additional information hasn’t been shared yet, but we do know that the IP Nintendo was interested in had nothing to do with gaming.

For those who are unaware, Unseen64 often digs up information regarding cancelled gaming projects. We’ll bring you more information when we have it.

Lord of the Rings? maybe Game of Thrones?

I can't think of much else.

My first thought was a Mickey Mouse game of some kind but I guess that's not exactly Star Wars tier.

[Concertoine]

Not a chance... Nintendo couldnt waste their time any harder than with Mickey Mouse.
My money's on LOTR. Its the only thing on star wars level

or maybe harry potter , james bond again

[Snookies12]

Gotta be either Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. Those are the only two I could see possibly fitting into the Nintendo style, and being really huge properties.

Marvel movies are pretty popular right now too. Star wars could also just be an exaggeration.

[OrangePowerz]

Game of Thrones is popular but not even remotely close to something like Star Wars or LotR.

Mickey Mouse would make the most sense for Nintendo.

That headline may be the vaguest thing I have ever read

[Ripsta7th]

Pokemon universe

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Uh Pokemon is a Nintendo property and started as a game.

[WizzroSupreme]

The only thing I could think of within their age demographic with worldwide acclaim would be a Disney game – which could be the perfect fit.
