Based on the information that’s surfaced over the past few weeks, it appears Fortnite will arrive on the Nintendo Switch eShop at some point during this year’s E3.
To help tide you over until then, here’s some nightmare fuel. A fan of the insanely popular free-to-play battle royale game has created concept art, illustrating what a KFC cross-over with Fortnite could potentially look like in the form of a character skin:

Since going live, KFC Canada’s tweet has been given the thumbs up by professional eSport players and even the likes of Twin Galaxies. The skin itself replaces the glider with a chicken and there’s a finger lickin’ emote included to help celebrate any victories. Looking back on food promotions for video games over the years, crazier things have happened.
Tell us in the comments if you think this skin looks tasty, or if you would prefer your Fortnite sessions remain chicken-free when the game eventually arrives on the Switch.

why nintendo life, why do you feel the need to post filler crap content on a game that isnt even officially announced for the switch yet?
Jesus christ...
Let me run around as Ronald McDonald shouting "want fries with that?" and disappointing the other players with a broken McFlurry machine and we're talking
Ah, yes. Reminds me of my time playing as the Michelin Man. But I got too tired.
Wasn’t there a kfc WWE2k18 character too? Whoever is running that company and allows these things is wild haha
Uh oh
Y'all have gone down lately...
Quick! Someone design a skin for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!
"Based on the information that’s surfaced over the past few weeks, it appears Fortnite will arrive on the Nintendo Switch eShop at some point during this year’s E3."
Well, guess what, it's not officialy announced. Therefore, this article right here is useless, and is not Nintendo-related whatsoever.
Rumours are acceptable, because there's a chance it's real, but this article right here has two problems:
1. It's completely random, this wouldn't be a problem but:
2. It's using a rumour as an excuse so that it can exist.
Nintendo Life, i came here to see if there's any Nintendo-related news, or a review of a game that is published on the Switch/3DS, because this is a Nintendo centred website, it's called Nintendo Life after all, right?
But no, what i got is an article about a game that's not even officialy announced for any Nintendo platform. And what is the excuse for the existence of this article? A rumour? Seriously?
I personally am excited for the Nintendo Life article about Assasin’s Creed Odyssey due to having the word Odyssey just like Mario Odyssey....
E3 can't come soon enough so we can be done with this filler. Already got a chuckle out of this on Facebook days ago.
Anyone else notice more of these non-Nintendo posts since Tom Whitehead left the website? It would seem the leadership at the top of Nintendo Life has a different vision for the future of the site.
@MimoDX2 its the weekend is whats happened. Its like some of their filter's for content/quality are broken or being cleaned on weekends.
Don't like it, don't click it. Damn people.
ugh when i thought i had a site (NintendoLife) that didn't have Fortnite news I get proven wrong. I'd rather not see this game everywhere anymore.
Oh no... With Fortnite possibly coming to Switch are we gonna get spammed with Fortnite articles now?
Someone's excited. I get it if the Fortnite article is Nintendo-related (like rumors or whatever) since nothing is officially announced yet. Buuut it's not. So a KFC Fortnite skin is already considered Nintendo news for a game that's not been officially confirmed for a Nintendo platform even if all signs point to it. Cool.
Well, what do I know, right?
Pretty sure NL has justifiable reasons and this comment will be considered irrelevant
@Heavyarms55
Just imagine what's going to happen when / if it is actually confirmed. And there will probably be around 30 guides for it too.
This has to be their lamest clickbait article yet
Nice chicken suit. I wonder what KFC foreskin looks like...
ALL HAIL FORTNITE!
People in this comment section are so whiney. But but but it's not even for a game announcement for a Nintendo system yet, if my eyes see anything that might possibly be not Nintendo related I will be forever unclean. Whine whine whine. Just keep scrolling, don't click and whinge.
Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback... I can see why some of you didn't appreciate this article. I'm going to have a chat with the team about it, we're listening.
What the cluck guys? I know this article isn't egg-cellent but c'mon, I thought it alright. 😉
Hey @antdickens, thanks for being so receptive. I’ve seen a lot of backlash on this site in the last months (and I am not really happy about it either), so I thought it’d be nice if the staff made a Talking Point about what we community want and expect from NL.
I think it’d be useful because, unfortunately, I get the impression most of the criticism found in the comment sections falls on mostly deaf ears, and that’s a shame.
I’m not blaming you or any other, it’s just that random comment sections are not the best place to voice one’s opinion; also, it seems only a handful of authors actually care to read them, but maybe that’s just my impression.
Anyway, keep up the good work 💪🏻
@clvr no problem, I’m certainly paying attention to the comments and working on a few things behind the scenes. We certainly care what people think of the site and the content and therefore want to serve the community. I’ve been thinking about a survey / talking point too, but figured it’ll have to wait until after E3 has been and gone. Watch this space.
@clvr Sorry to hear that's the impression you get, I personally always read the comments on the news and reviews I post. Thanks for the constructive feedback as well.
@antdickens @liam_doolan guys I'm sure it's not the majority of people that get butthurt by a fun and silly article. I think some people take the gaming site a bit too seriously. These aren't world events your reporting on. Personally I very much enjoy the #Random articles, I find them fun and entertaining and I hope u keep them coming.
As far as the fortnite thing is concerned again. The press and pretty much everyone knows it's coming. It's been leaked heavily and it's all but assured it's coming to the Switch. I guess there's some real sensitive people out here and in denial that the game is coming out and don't want to accept it.
How has nobody said 'cluck-bait' yet?...
Anyway, go vegan.
I don't want to sound like that typical Fortnite hater but please don't start spamming us with unneccessary articles like these. Yeah some people may find it interesting but aren't there fortnite forums for samll things like these? I really like your articles and how you keep your articles diverse. But for the love of god don't become like Ign, really liked that site but sine every second article is now about fortnite i can't watch it anymore. And for clarification i'm really not a Fortnite hater i actually quite like it but yeah. Hope you get my point.
@antdickens @Liam_Doolan Well just to add to my previous comment, it's not like I dislike articles like this. I'm pretty open to it even if it's not directly Nintendo related. If it's fun and entertaining to read then sure! But other people including me IMO is just struck how weird it is for something that is not even official yet. Silly reason, maybe. But that's just how I see it. Maybe you could say that since nothing has been officially said, NL readers doesn't need (or doesn't want) to consume these types of news yet unless they pertain to some tidbits or rumors about the Switch port. You can get more info on things like Fortnite skins somewhere else for the time being. And we don't even know if this KFC thing will apply to the Switch version and the article might set expectations.
Anyways more power to you guys
After you kill him can you eat him?? If not it really isnt worth it.
@BionicDodo Stop whining. If you dont like the comments, dont click and whine. 😃
@antdickens thank you, it’s pleasing to hear that
Thank you for your reply and your effort!
@Liam_Doolan I know, actually you are the only author I see commenting and replying constantly, and I really appreciate that. I don’t like calling out people that are not present, but for example @Dom doesn’t seem to care as much as you do, as I very rarely see him involved in the comment sections of his articles; I don’t mean to be rude or entitled or whatever, but I think it’s reasonable to expect more involvement from the editor.
Anyway, I have nothing against this article in particular, I’ve just noticed a bit of turmoil and unsatisfied readers, so when I saw Ant I thought I’d bring this up.
Thank you both for listening to me and the rest of the community, it means a lot
Looks like Chewbacca had a kid with a piece of fried chicken.
@MaSSiVeRiCaN @Savino @clvr @MegaMari0 @BionicDodo @ZeldaToThePast @antdickens @Liam_Doolan
I just want to clarify, that my intentions aren't to whine and drive this site down to the ground (although the last line of my comment may come off as harsh, and it was not needed). I'm just giving some criticism so that i can come in this site and hopefully get what i expect out of it. If you're fine with the article, okay, but honestly if i wanted to hear more about Fortnite i would go to a site that talks about stuff like this.
Even if the rumour is very likely to be true, the game is not yet confirmed for the Switch. I just find it weird that when in a site about Nintendo, we talk about a game as if it was definitely confirmed for a Nintendo platform.
Anyway, it's just that i noticed a decline in quality recently. News being reported late, articles that basically have no reason to be here, and i just want a little more quality in this site.
@MimoDX2 It may not be officially confirmed but let's face it, update data for the game was found on the EShop. There is an icon for the game in there too. We know it's happening. I don't think there is any point trying to deny it at this point.
The 3 or 4 days in the run up to E3 are almost always pretty slow. Why not post a silly article about a game that we know is coming and generate a little traffic?
As an aside, I do agree that there has been a drop in writing quality as of late. I can't help but think that Dom just isn't as dedicated as Tom was. Tom actually commented on another article the other day for the first time in a while just to say he was going to be around during E3 so I look forward to his insights.
This article is pretty obviously off-topic and definitely shouldn’t be on this site, but let’s not forget that dataminers found a Fortnite Switch icon, so it’s confirmed even though it’s not officially announced. It would make more sense if Epic Games waited until E3 to drop the bomb instead of randomly announcing it just a short time before, too, so everything points to it being released. Not that I liked the article, though, it was a very bad idea.
@Spoony_Tech Smart idea. Kill the living KFC bucket, then eat the fried chicken to restore health
@MimoDX2 dude..... Take a chill pill, it's all in good fun.
What would be funny is if you can dress up as the fast food mascots, like the KFC dude, Wendy's, Ronald Mcdonald, etc.... Haha would be interesting surprise.
Not a Fortnite person, but this is pretty funny!
@Ttimer5 I already clarified my stance in comment #38
I'm not mad or anything
Funny! But I prefer my video games ad free...
Fortnite, Fortnite, Fortnite...all steering up the hype. And then the HUGE dissapointment when it doesn't get released. This site, fake-news at its finest!!
Make a fe fates corrin skin male and female
@Zyph @MimoDX2 @MaSSiVeRiCaN @Savino thanks all for the feedback, rest assured it's all be digested
Fortnite is competition for the Pubg mobile game. Pubg has more fans than fortnite. After Pubg fortnite is the trending game in all around the world.
