Ehhh I doubt it. That game faded out after a couple of years.

It comes down to leverage. Disney and Universal are major players in the movie space, so no other studio would ever expect movie exclusivity in their parks. For example, if WB demanded exclusivity in exchange for theme park rights to HP, we would never see HP in Universal or Disney theme parks. Nintendo has a lot more leverage in that regard, and I don't think Uni would've turned them down had they demanded video game exclusivity.

This literally happens all the time. Universal didn't make the Harry Potter movies you know. Disney didn't make Avatar (although they bought it retroactively, that was not planned). There are too many examples to even bother with a list.

One game I can think of that can go along with nintendo is sonic. Think about it, they have had many crossovers, it wouldn't be surprising.
But since sony has movie rights, probably not.

That was the entire point and you missed it completely...
Nintendo never expected exclusivity on the only gaming IP in Universal parks btw. Plus Nintendo doesn't have a lot of leverage, investors wanted Nintendo to diversify into themed entertainment it was either Universal or Disney, Universal was willing to work with Nintendo on adaption into themed entertainment.

So, they're going to put UCMs in a park where they won't be doing HHN.
OK.

Considering HHN makes so much bank why would you think it won't be in the new park?
Why isn't it IOA?
Also, do you think they'd be putting up HHN houses in the new Nintendo land?

Same reason they might move it. It has grown into a monster. There are ways to do HHN without going into the IPs, look at Potter

Halloween Horror Nights seems like it would be much less interesting in ¼ to maybe ½ of the park.

But it could have much better "flow". I think horrah will always be popular, the whole company (uni not Comcast) was founded on it.

They tired it in IOA but found it to difficult to "untheme" the lands. At the Studios its generic enough to make NYC into any metro area, etc. With IOA Marvel is Marvel, Toon Lagoon is still a Toon City etc. They tried to fit the houses into the themes (i.e., Marvel house with villains, the clown area in Toon Lagoon) but in the end, they decided it just was too difficult.
Wait, they're going to have IP AT THIS PARK!!!
Remember how Avatar was too long ago to work as a park IP?

I'd be sad if the Classic Monsters get the bump- that's probably the land I'm looking forward to the most next to Zelda, which doesn't seem to be the highest priority either.

Blizzard?
A World of Warcraft Land would be a great companion for the movie!
