We now know the full reason why Samus Aran never made it into Fortnite and that is because Nintendo wanted Samus to be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite and therefore declined Epic Games’ offer. Epic Games wasn’t too happy about that either as they argued it should be available for all users regardless of platform in the same vein as Master Chief from Microsoft’s Halo and Kratos from PlayStation’s God of War series.
Samus Aran didn’t come to Fortnite as Nintendo wanted skin exclusive to Switch
Wasn’t this revealed during the apple case years ago?
Yes. The link for this info is in the related section: https://mynintendonews.com/2021/05/04/epic-games-were-planning-to-bring-samus-aran-to-fortnite/
Well they gave it their best shot and I know Epic games is not giving up.
Hell ya Nintendo keeping it real!
I don’t understand what Nintendo has against Sony. I mean, they crossed over with Microsoft who joined the first party race this millennium. I guess we’ll never get any Nintendo reps in Fortnight. Oh well, it had Naruto’s ugly spouse anyway.
Their relationship will never be the same after the failed Nintendo Playstation.
I mean, Sony has done everything in their power to try and get one over Nintendo since the whole Playstation/Nintendo failed collab. You don’t just forget about that. Even just recently with Sony pulling the whole, we have sold 160 PS2’s (2 more million unit) 12 years after production was stopped, when it was announced that the switch was at 132+ Million units sold (now at 139.) There’s too much bad blood between them. As for MS, they have done nothing but play nicely with Nintendo, and it shows.
I understand Nintendo’s history of being extremely exclusive, but I think in cases like this one they should make exceptions. It’s basically advertisement for their brand to the Fortnite kiddies.
Yeah, but even so Nintendo is always strict about their IPs being exclusive to their platform. We have seen Microsoft and other companies bringing their characters to a video game crossover. Super Smash Bros.
fortnite has IPs from practically every other major company, they have /Disney/ IPs, and they didn’t do platform-exclusive content for anyone else. what made nintendo think they would do it for them?

As if any of the kids playing know about that boomer franchise. Who cares
Apparently Nintendo doesn’t want to advertise reasons to buy a Switch to people who might not have a Switch.
Fortnite is trash anyway, who cares?
“If I don’t like it, you should NOT CARE about it!”
no its not
