I can totally see Nintendo wanting to enable you to bring your collection of fancy, rare high-powered guns from Borderlands, carried by your favourite shiny Pokémon, into a no-holds-barred Mario Kart match so you could turn a fun all-ages racing game into an absolute bloodbath. Totally fits with their brand image etc. Despite the likely bad PR, fiddly intellectual property issues, and the fact auctioning off high value gameplay items to the highest bidder turns games into tremendously boring pay2win experiences, the value in NFTs is that a game company might let players use assets bought or acquired in one game in a different game, even though they could do that already do that by just making private contractual relationships between existing game companies.
