@Snatcher the only IP Activision has that they really care about is call of duty, i wouldn't be surprised if Activision decides to kill all other IPs they have including the blizzard IPs and they put everyone on call of duty support
@Ogbert call of duty is the only IP that Activision has that sells well in their eyes and it's the only IP they actually care about, i wouldn't be surprised if Activision kills all of its other IPs including all blizzard IPs and puts every single team member on call of duty support and Activision only makes call of duty games going forward
@Snatcher crash 4 did not sell as well as Activision wanted, they will most likely kill the crash IP perminately, crash 4 is most likely the last crash game ever and i believe that the crash mobile game will be shut down do to the failure of crash 4
@Amin_Parker contra should only get represented with a mii costume, but mortal kombat will never and can never be represented in smash ever because mortal kombat is banned in Japan and mortal kombat content would force sakurai to change the game's rating in Japan but he doesn't want to do that because he hates dealing with Japan's CERO board
they are technically saying crash is not coming to smash nor should he, Activision|Blizzard doesn't deserve any of their IPs to be in smash ever, also Activision|Blizzard was not happy with the sales of crash 4 so they are most likely going to perminately kill off the crash bandicoot IP as they should
@Bolt_Strike Nintendo would most likely only buy game freak and intelligent systems, they have no interest or intentions of buying any companies to save them, nor would they ever buy bandai namco or koei tecmo, and Nintendo has absolutely no interest in owning rare, if they had any intentions of owning rare they would have bought rare to keep them instead of letting Microsoft buy them, also Microsoft allows rare to do whatever they want and rare is allowed to make whatever games they want and right now rare is working on a new perfect dark game
@chardrich Nintendo doesn't want rare, they never really wanted rare at all, so face it, banjo-kazooie will NEVER be a Nintendo IP, and they should not buy level 5, level 5 should go out of business and sell their IPs to companies that aren't Nintendo
i think this means Nintendo changed their minds and finally said yes to either xcloud or Xbox game pass to come to switch but only allowing games that are on Xbox but not available on switch to be playable, that way if someone has a game on switch that's also available on Xbox they aren't able to play the Xbox version to do it being pointless, also, it could help Xbox be more accessible in Japan since Xbox consoles don't sell well in Japan
@Entrr_username Nintendo is extremely overprotective over all their IPs, they will never agree to allow any of their IPs to be in other games that are on other consoles
@Rika_Yoshitake this article has nothing to do with the yakuza video game series from sega, it's about the real criminal syndicate yakuza, and yes, the yakuza crime syndicate is a real thing in real life and the syndicate is a real criminal organization
Nintendo isn't going to even actually consider making any of their other IPs into movies until after they see how well the mario movie does when it releases, if it doesn't do well they won't even bother with any more movies
@Silly_G miyamoto wants so, you're basically saying that all the mario and Nintendo merchandise that aren't video games or video game accessories should stop being made
@UmbreonsPapa no it's not, people are just forgetting that the pandemic is still going on, and they even forget that Japan had to go back into lockdown
Activision|Blizzard needs to stop trying to save the company and just go out of business and they should sell all their IPs to sony that way sony will own all Activision|Blizzard IPs and they can screw them up as much as they want and also that because sony will own them all Activision|Blizzard games can never be on Nintendo systems ever again, all digital versions will be removed from Nintendo's eshop and none of those characters will ever be allowed into smash
technically, pokemon has 10 characters because pokemon trainer's pokemon count as 3 separate fighters, even smash ultimate's official website counts pokemon trainer as 3 different characters
@BizarreJelly28980 if we were going to get a NMH music track then it would have come with the travis touchdown mii costume but it didn't, the only way for additional music to be added is if it's with a mii costume or with a challenger pack they have never added additional music for free or as paid dlc and they never will but not every 3rd party mii costume will come with a music track, also, the sans and cuphead mii costumes were the only mii costumes that came with a music track, and the reason is partly because they are indie characters, partly because that's the only way they'd be allowed to add a music track from the games they come from, partly because they look like a full playable character with the masks and partly because sakurai thought the music track he had come with the sans mii costume and the cuphead mii costume were fitting for smash
@BizarreJelly28980 travis touchdown can't be a mii costume and a dlc fighter, he's a 3rd party character, only Nintendo owned 1st party characters are allowed to be fighters and have mii costumes, travis touchdown is deconfirmed from being a dlc fighter, maybe we'll get a no more heroes 3 spirit event later this year but we're not getting any no more heroes music
@jco83 there's absolutely no reason to make a n64 classic mini, the only reason why the nes mini was made was because they needed something to put out while they were working on making the switch and the snes mini was made because they needed to test the emulation before they added nes and snes to Nintendo Online Services
@anoyonmus Microsoft wants master chief in smash but the likelyhood that he'd be a dlc fighter is highly unlikely, I'm sure Microsoft would be fine with a master chief mii costume
@anoyonmus there's nothing that Microsoft can say or do to have Nintendo and sakurai to scrap 1 of the last 2 dlc fighters in order to add a bethesda rep as a fighter, sakurai himself said once a character is chosen and agreed on there's nothing that can be done to change that choice

Re: Samus Aran For Fortnite Discovered In Epic Games Internal Document
Nintendo would never allow samus to be in fortnite unless she's a switch exclusive and only other switch players can see the skin
Re: Samus Aran For Fortnite Discovered In Epic Games Internal Document
@Chamver wrong, nothing is guaranteed in regards to sales, also, i highly doubt Nintendo even considers metroid to be a staple IP anymore
Re: Samus Aran For Fortnite Discovered In Epic Games Internal Document
@SalvorHardin Nintendo doesn't want anything to do with tensent because it's a Chinese company

Re: Samus Aran For Fortnite Discovered In Epic Games Internal Document
@Grumblevolcano not happening, Nintendo will not allow their IPs on other consoles or systems

@stache13 samus in fortnite isn't happening, they most likely just had samus on the list as a potential skin but Nintendo said absolutely not

@Kyloctopus Nintendo would never allow it to happen unless the samus skin is exclusive to switch players and only switch players can see it in game
