Since Nintendo's Current Chief President is considering having their big Game proprieties being adapted into Movies & Japanese Animes, then I hope he considers American Comic Books as well in the Future. Those Valiant Nintendo Comics where Years Ago and I'm pretty sure someone could do a well done Job today with the expansive scale of their Game Universes have…
