The company has filed a copyright notice for a motion picture listed as an “Untitled Donkey Kong Project.” And last month, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said in an investors call that the company was working on more movies, explaining that “although we cannot discuss our plans beyond The Legend of Zelda movie at this time, we are working on various other projects.” So even though a Donkey Kong movie isn’
