If Nintendo announced the Nintendo Cinematic Universe, Sonic just evaporates.
hat can sega even do about it? All of their other IPs are dead.
If they made a CGI metroid, FZero, Kirby, Star Fox, Zelda and more mario movies and eventually make a smash bros movie, they just win via IP stomp.
Fuck, Nintendo/Illumination has the money to get the Megaman and Castlevania rights for movies too.

I'm sure there's plenty of room for both.
You need good writers and most writers are shit no matter where they come from. Anyone who tells me that One Piece has good writing is lying.
Nintendo has too many important and valuable IPs it legit might not even matter if they got good writting. Lets be honest.
If Paramount played their cards right,
And I mean absolutely, 100%, did NOT fuck up at ANY step, SEGA has enough IPs for a decent Cinematic U. It would take a small miracle and require total cooperation with SoJ, but it could happen.

Sonic has nothing to expand upon by itself.
Streets of Rage: Introduce Mr. X, a charming but sinister gangster with aspirations for more. Agent Stone provides him with the drones he uses and, after a couple movies, the robot he finally puts his brain in. (Stone is doing this to test out biological power sources in robots, following the doctor's manifesto).
NiGHTS Into Dreams: Tie in the Owl from JoD vaguely into Longclaw's tribe, he gave up his corporeal form to try and guide NiGHTS from petulent, petty rebel to hero. In the sequel, when NiGHTS gets trapped in the real world, GUN tries to contain him and capture Claris and Elliot as a result.
Shinobi: With Mr. X established as our phase one villain, tie his syndicate into Zeed.
There's a lot you can do if you get Alan Moore LoEG style trying to find connections, but this would require a LOT of freedom from SoJ. GUN as a geberal government force, both for good and for bad, could do a lot of heavy lifting.
But do you think anyone could make zelda into a movie that would not disappoint/outrage the fans?
My expectations for the Mario movie are pretty damn low, at best there might be some good meme material. Zelda would have to stray pretty far from the way the games present their story in order to fit into a movie, it would just end up being a typical fantasy hero movie with a familiar coat of paint unless they did something really left field like Majora's Mask. Metroid could work as a sci-fi thriller but I sincerely doubt they could resist the urge to give her a crew of backup dancers and turn it into an homage to Other M. Sonic at least can just steal ideas from Sonic X and that setting melds nicely with the live action hybrid style their going with.
With how much Nintendo has been dropping the ball this past decade, they would probably jump straight to a Smash Bros movie after only the Mario movie.
