Nintendo continues to step into the movie and cinema realm, as the company has opened up a brand new position<\/a> for a ‘Movie Project Promotion Manager’.<\/p>\n

Shared and translated by Genki_JPN<\/a>, the Big N is currently accepting applications for the role, which will be based in Kyoto, Japan. Successful candidates will be “responsible for marketing and promotional activities for film projects utilizing Nintendo IP.”<\/p>\n

“Working in collaboration with domestic and international partner companies, you will lead a team to drive effective promotions unique to Nintendo IP.”<\/p>\n

While the job is based in Japan, you’ll be expected to have Business-level English proficiency, alongside familiarity with Nintendo, its games, products, and services, and a deep understanding of the IP.<\/p>\n

Given the success of Nintendo’s work with Illumination for The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/strong> and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/strong>, and the upcoming Legend of Zelda<\/strong> film, we’re not surprised to see new roles open up. Especially as there are rumours surrounding a Metroid movie<\/a> and a potential third movie with Illumination in 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we’ll find out more about Nintendo’s movie plans by the end of the year?<\/p>\n
