How is refusing to put characters in Fortnite means refusing to change with times?

As a Nintendo and Fortnite fan, it really does suck that Nintendo is being so overprotective of their IPs. I get that they don't want Mario, Isabelle, or Kirby shooting (realistic) guns, but the more "mature" series would fit in well, like Samus, Link/Zelda, Captain Falcon, Fox, or even Little Mac! I would totally drop V-Bucks on bundles for those characters, especially Samus, Link, and Fox
Link and Zelda would look really odd holding guns. though Link has used a crossbow in one spinn off title. That's the closest Link has been to using a gun.
Agreed. "May your favorite franchise or IP become mainstream" has become the greatest curse imaginable to me in the last decade. I'm not a fan of everything Nintendo does, but this particular decision is a win in my book.

Honestly this is the same companies that made the content creator program to "Collaborate with UA-camrs" so is it really a surprise that they don't like to collaborate with other developers for their games? They always seem want everything for themselves. Nintendo dose not seem to understand very well what an indirect benefit is. They act like if they collaborate with any of these companies for their games they will just magically take away their IP or something. I really don't get it.🤦♂
A lot of us are thinking “Man I hate Nintendo”, and I get it. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be very surprised if 3rd party developers stop sharing their characters with Nintendo and asking them for their characters because of this.
People will definitely stop asking Nintendo for their characters if that attitude continues. I don’t know if many will stop sharing their characters though because at the end of the day it’s still money and advertisement for you. There definitely a chance some would though.
@@sora_2342 I'm sure Sony felt and thought the same thing back when the PS2 was the hottest thing around. How well's the PS4 and PS5 doing again? Oooooh riiiiight. Just because you do well one generation, doesn't mean every one will be a victory. Mistakes can and will be made, and Nintendo has made massive mistakes throughout it's history like all companies have.
It’s worse when one, Samus was in a Fortnite X Batman Comic as a reference with Ryu and Chun-Li and two, Squid Kid was in the Files. INKLING BOY AND GIRL PLANNED AS WELL. And all we got was a reference to Splatoon as a Weapon Wrap, not even an actual collab!
I believe they only do one in February, May, July, and September. Usually the ones in May and September are mini-Directs and the ones in February and July are main directs.
You have to wait for June for that and they just had a Partner Showcase in February then they had a Indie World Showcase this month. I don't know what else you want from Nintendo.
@@AceLoveheartfirst party games to fill out the rest of the year but Nintendo is covered up until June. Nintendo is stringing out Microsoft and Sony, they know exactly what they're doing
1) Old News. 2) Samus appearing in Fortnite will get her noticed for about two weeks, before the players move on to the next skin. 3) It was Epic that rejected the terms, not Nintendo, and 4) Appearing in Smash Bros is the equivalent of getting an Emmy or an Oscar; appearing in Fortnite is the equivalent of getting a Razzie. 😂
Nintendo's problem is that they only want people to see their characters on Nintendo consoles. It already has failed, because UA-cam in other consoles, but will they give up? I mean, come on.
It's seem like mobile devices is as far as they'll go from branching their own characters out on to other platforms. Like with Mario kart tour, Dr Mario world, and Super mario run.
@@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8don’t forget the original Mario movie. Nintendo’s direct involvement is why the new one is as good as it is. Peach was almost a rude girl boss but Nintendo swooped in.
@@paperluigi6132they still gave her a moment where she fought with the ice flower, in a very non-Peach fashion (Daisy would’ve been a better fit). That part was annoying, as Peach fights with grace and cunning, but you’re right. They still saved the movie, except for that sequence.
@@EWOODJ that’s not what they said they said it would be a Nintendo exclusive and on other platforms it would look like a default did you watch the video
In general if you care about what Nintendo is doing then it's not only about Fortnite but about them and how they are so stuck up about their own characters being only available on their own consoles and characters only being exclusivly seen by switch users only is the problem here. I dont even play Fortnite myself but its still one
Credit to Nintendo for this. Its business decisions like this, that kept Nintendo around for so long. Microsoft put master chief in fortnite, and it still didn't boost halos popularity. Nintendo knows not to let western game companies just do what they want with their IP.
I understand some people frustration about that, but nintendo doesn't need fortnite to advertising their products, I think it's still fun that people act like Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing, even with switch being the 3rd best selling console of all time, the 3DS was popular, wii sold 100 mi+ and DS is the second best selling console of all time, not even couting how almost every nintendo IP broke sales records during the Switch era.
Yea, but it was Samus Aran that was on the table! The Fortnite Devs knew that they didn't have a chance with Mario, Zelda or Pokémon. And yet Nintendo is stingier than a toddler with their pacifier. 😅
@@RolandWilliams-pd7xz Well those were cartoonish plasma lasers that are supposed to look cool, not devastating the only thing that really comes close are the gun items in smash
@@CordyBrush It’s not greed it’s about control I respect them sticking to their guns Whoring out their characters would have been greedier Last time Nintendo characters were on other systems we got the CDI games and Nintendo has no control over those and they were afraid of that type of thing happening again
They also feel the same way about fan projects. Anything that uses their IPs (fangames, emulators, mods, the like) are targeted or taken down by Nintendo. In fact, I'm pretty sure that when people pirate or leak their games, they go after them for using their IPs and not the actual crime.
You mean force companies like atlus to make $30+ expansions on a $70 remake? Made sonic colours ultimate which was way buggier than any other version of sonic colours, and even had issues that only appeared when emulating the game (along with adding dlc to it)? Made sonic superstars have dlc that you could only get by going to random stores irl? Trust me my guy, Sega ain't a saint. Segas pretty bad.
Personally, you gotta give Nintendo credit. They did a solid by staying away from fortnite. I'd work with others but not on games like fortnite. I wouldn't tolerate my character being used to crudely shoot at others.
did you not know he was talking about FORTNITE , and NOT fortnite battle royale , they are different , fortnite got a creative mode , racing mode , music mode ect , so how those gamemods have any shooting ?!
I watched a video about which of the 7 sins various video game companies are, and they hit the nail on the head for Nintendo; their biggest sin is pride.
This is why i love being a sonic fan. Sure SEGA isn't perfect, but at least they listen to fans and support fan works, Which is why i think shadow would be a skin for fortnite, since he's well known for shooting guns.
i know this is a frustrating topic but the juxtaposition between the happy nintendo intro and the video basically being "dear lord i just-- i really just-- why, nintendo?"
Nintendo has been immensely protective and possessive of their IPs for as long as any of us can remember. It is strange but I suspecy the rationale is more like "if I can call the shots and create it MY WAY, no one can maneuver to sweep my IPs under the rug with an obscure western legal clause, control of the homefield advantage is paramount in business, even if I must create my own home field there." If you think it's bad sportsmanship in the global market, and misses out on a LOT of potential business profits? You're probably not wrong. But anyone looking to deal with Nintendo needs to understand who they're dealing with and why.
I don't play fortnite, but just seeing mario or any of nintendo's bright, colorful characters holding a dark realistic gun just feels wrong. Even if you gave samus anything except her blaster arm. I couldn't even see samus with a realistic gun either. It feels wrong. (please dont give me hate comments for this opinion)
okay but remember samus also exists in a franchise where she genocided the entire metroid species. Also in these games, you see plenty of corpses and x-parasites that possess other life forms. I think Metroid is much darker than fortnite tbh
If it's true about Gmods then it don't even surprise me. How much time Nintendo do some hunt for attack their own community again? Kaze Emanuar for the SM64 modding? The Smash tournament? And more? Instead Nintendo chase their own community just for the money to win in the court if they win lawsuit, they better first to take care of their Switch who is still empty about various exclusive games on it since 7 years who turning too much into some cash money game such Mario and some old game port who get succeed on previous consoles, Pokemon with the last games who was meh, Fire Emblem and Kirby while we still waiting for a new Star Fox game, still no more news about Metroid Prime 4 who have been promise 7 years ago on the Switch and still nothing except just 2 Metroid games, still wait for a new Kid Icarus game, a modern F-Zero in 3D and HD and a true Donkey Kong Country who doesn't smell the Wii U port about Tropical Freeze so, with the mistakes they do by attack their own community and to not move too much their a*s for made more various game, it will need a miracle for their next console, the day when they gonna annouce officialy a new one, that it get more sales than the Switch but I don't think it will beat the Switch so just the sheep who swear for just ask for another Mario, Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Kirby games and that all gonna have some pity by buy it but others people don't gonna take the risk again. Edit: I have contact the Steam support for know more about this story about Gmods and Nintendo content be removed and they confirm it's really Nintendo who ask them to remove Nintendo stuff so it's not a troll who try to imitated Nintendo after they made some check for make sure if it's Nintendo.
I have a friend who claims he’d hate if Nintendo added skins to Fortnite cuz he thinks, uhhh, he thinks, he, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I honestly don’t know why he thinks that smth about amiro being a kids game and Fortnite not which makes no sense Personally, if anything Nintendo came to Fortnite, I would be so happy
Things like this is why I was super surprised when Cadence of Hyrule happened. Yes it is only on Switch, but they let another company make a Zelda game.
I’m sorry but idk what the big deal is. If you want to say oh Metroid would sell more copies because it’s in Fortnite. Maybe like a few more, like that’s not a guarantee. I know people will just look at Samus and say, oh that’s that one character from Smash Bros.
Nintendo can do whatever they want period people. It is what it is. I don't play Fortnight anyway. I'm not missing anything. I don't care for Fortnight.
I don't exactly agree, bro. I see where your coming from, it being stupid for only being seen by Switch fans but it IS Nintendo's IP, Character, Female suit wearing blonde sharp shooter. Tbh, I understand them, if your that crazy about Nintendo characters, won't you be playing on Switch? Won't you have already played Metriod Dread if you're that eager to play her? There is enough other characters for other people to enjoy (if they don't have Switch) for Nintendo to make it exclusive. Remember the saying: Professionals have standards.
This is one of the many reasons I left my loyalship to Nintendo for SEGA and SONY. Nintendo hates fangames, neglects lots of it’s franchises and is just greedy in general. They are just taking advantage of their fame, those sick bastards.
You say you get why they're like this, but then you backpeddle nd say "it's just plain stupid and ridiculous". Which one is it ? One or the other. It's either you understand why they're like this and leave it as that; or say it's just plain stupid and ridiculous and leave it as that. You can't have a middle ground here.
@@G.L.999 do you understand anything I said you can disagree with something despite understanding why they done. I fully understood why Nintendo is very overprotective of their IPs but at the same time that doesn’t mean I agree with them if anything it’s one of the things I despise about Nintendo.
@@tobyzilla 1. always using inferior hardware which wouldn't be so bad is they didn't went that far of inferiority 2. Their Ip over-protectiveness and that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact they actively attack the fans despite them using them with fair use and not even profiting off of them. 3. Not creating original or alternate versions characters and worlds based on their IPs (this doesn't happen is often but it gets on my nerves when it happens. 4. Refusal or rarely port their game to others console aside from their consoles because as the video said a lot of their franchises could be a lot more mainstream if they port their games onto different devices.
They’ve been putting Metroid in a jail cell for such a long time and I have no idea. Why have an IP like that at all if you’re not gonna do anything with it.
What was the matter with those Nintendo characters being exclusive to the GameCube back then? Are you saying Nintendo should've just made their characters available to PS2/Xbox versions too? Make it make sense! I mean, I made an except with the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur 2, why didn't you do the same with the Gamecube versions of those other two Gamecube versions you mentioned earlier?
I wouldn't fault Nintendo for being prudes about their characters showing up on rival consoles. But I have a different beef with Nintendo, hiring western localizers with a focus on DEI. They re-released Paper Mario 1k year door and the three male Goombas that were cat calling Goombella had their dialogue changed to a non-offensive throw away line because of "toxic" masculinity. Despite the fact Bowser routinely kidnaps Princess Peach in order to force her into marriage.
Fortnite: Hey! It's me!, almost number 1 game in the world! I would like to ask you if we could borrow your character for a little while! Nintendo: Yeah okay, just make sure that the character can only be used by switch users. Fortnite: ??? That takes out the whole point... Nintendo: *Closes the door* Fortnite: Guess we'll have to go to Sega then...
People just want to blame Nintendo all the time. This wasn't just a Nintendo decision. Epic Games didn't agree to Nintendo's terms, therefore it's also partially their fault. This isn't really a new thing, either, when it comes to Nintendo only wanting Nintendo characters in a different game, but only on a Nintendo console. They did this with SoulCalibur II. Link wasn't playable on the Playstation and X-Box versions. Why they're protective of their IPs in this regard is something I don't know. But it's their IP, so they can do whatever they want.
Honestly i don’t care because i don’t really like play or ever will plat fortnite cuz the toxic fanbase killed any real respect for it now ik ppl ginna say otherwise but here’s the thing toxic fans never left they always come back
I don't want Nintendo stuff on non-Nintendo stuff. I don't care about non-Nintendo video gaming things not counting some arcade games that came to Nintendo and the Mario shows.
I know its not goofy. Goofy is a Disney character. Also goofy is a characteristic and a personality. Nintendo is Asian. Very few of their cartoons barely understand that version of that character.
Nintendo probably just showed Epic games their pre-written pamphlet regarding their "Cosmetics Policy" where they outlined that their characters can never be viewed cross platform. And when challenged on this, they probably just said, "Ok, and?"
I literally played all the Metroid games legally on Nintendo systems after playing Samus in smash bros, this would become more common if Nintendo put characters like this in Fortnite. Like, they’re denying themselves money, wtf.
nintendo dont need fortnight, fortnight needs nintendos ip/ branding, the characters like Metroid can be advertised on smash brothers a already massive crossover game lol just cope

@@technobladeleakedclips1827 say what you will about Nintendo, but their employee retention rate in Japan is very high, mostly because japanese work culture, and how it's treated there
Honestly this is the same companies that made the content creator program to "Collaborate with UA-camrs" so is it really a surprise that they don't like to collaborate with other developers for their games? They always seem want everything for themselves. Nintendo dose not seem to understand very well what an indirect benefit is. They act like if they collaborate with any of these companies for their games they will just magically take away their IP or something. I really don't get it.🤦♂
A lot of us are thinking “Man I hate Nintendo”, and I get it. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be very surprised if 3rd party developers stop sharing their characters with Nintendo and asking them for their characters because of this.
People will definitely stop asking Nintendo for their characters if that attitude continues. I don’t know if many will stop sharing their characters though because at the end of the day it’s still money and advertisement for you. There definitely a chance some would though.
They aren’t
But they won’t, y??? Because the switch is still one of the best selling consoles of all time. And there’s a reason
@@sora_2342 I'm sure Sony felt and thought the same thing back when the PS2 was the hottest thing around.
How well's the PS4 and PS5 doing again? Oooooh riiiiight.
Just because you do well one generation, doesn't mean every one will be a victory. Mistakes can and will be made, and Nintendo has made massive mistakes throughout it's history like all companies have.
It’s worse when one, Samus was in a Fortnite X Batman Comic as a reference with Ryu and Chun-Li and two, Squid Kid was in the Files. INKLING BOY AND GIRL PLANNED AS WELL. And all we got was a reference to Splatoon as a Weapon Wrap, not even an actual collab!
Wait what inklings from splatoon was going to be in fortnite?
It's already almost May, and there still isn't a Nintendo Direct! BRUH
I know, what is Nintendo doing?
I believe they only do one in February, May, July, and September. Usually the ones in May and September are mini-Directs and the ones in February and July are main directs.
You have to wait for June for that and they just had a Partner Showcase in February then they had a Indie World Showcase this month. I don't know what else you want from Nintendo.
@@AceLoveheartfirst party games to fill out the rest of the year but Nintendo is covered up until June. Nintendo is stringing out Microsoft and Sony, they know exactly what they're doing
The pattern is February, June, September. Learn to wait.
More like "Nin10doland is being... Nin10doland again"
More like "gggumball is being... gggumball again"
Those Nintendo glazers never learn their lesson
1) Old News.
2) Samus appearing in Fortnite will get her noticed for about two weeks, before the players move on to the next skin.
3) It was Epic that rejected the terms, not Nintendo, and
4) Appearing in Smash Bros is the equivalent of getting an Emmy or an Oscar; appearing in Fortnite is the equivalent of getting a Razzie. 😂
Nintendo's problem is that they only want people to see their characters on Nintendo consoles. It already has failed, because UA-cam in other consoles, but will they give up? I mean, come on.
LMAO, good point 😂
Thing is that videos aren't official material, so they don't care about that.
UA-cam and web browsers and the like are one thing. Actual game software is another.
It's seem like mobile devices is as far as they'll go from branching their own characters out on to other platforms. Like with Mario kart tour, Dr Mario world, and Super mario run.
Bruh I literally wrote my english final essay on how nintendo is dense with this kinda stuff and within the week I submit it this happens
They are very protective of they're characters like look at the last time they trusted they're characters with other developers hotel mario sucked
Nintendo tried in the 90’s and got scarred, it’ll likely take a few years but it may heal soon
@@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8don’t forget the original Mario movie. Nintendo’s direct involvement is why the new one is as good as it is. Peach was almost a rude girl boss but Nintendo swooped in.
I hope she brought lots of *S P A G H E T T I*
@@paperluigi6132they still gave her a moment where she fought with the ice flower, in a very non-Peach fashion (Daisy would’ve been a better fit).
That part was annoying, as Peach fights with grace and cunning, but you’re right.
They still saved the movie, except for that sequence.
you have a point, but that was forever ago. Oh... wait the live action mario movie
They could just allow a Henry Fleming skin from Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., eh?
They could’ve made her a Switch exclusive purchase wise but she can obviously stay visible across platforms
That would still be a bit iffy, but way better than the alternative
Just make her a exclusive pack skin since Nintendo has never gotten one
That’s what Nintendo suggested. Epic said no.
@@EWOODJ that’s not what they said they said it would be a Nintendo exclusive and on other platforms it would look like a default did you watch the video
I really don’t care for Fortnite, so this doesn’t bother me
In general if you care about what Nintendo is doing then it's not only about Fortnite but about them and how they are so stuck up about their own characters being only available on their own consoles and characters only being exclusivly seen by switch users only is the problem here.
I dont even play Fortnite myself but its still one
Credit to Nintendo for this. Its business decisions like this, that kept Nintendo around for so long. Microsoft put master chief in fortnite, and it still didn't boost halos popularity. Nintendo knows not to let western game companies just do what they want with their IP.
I understand some people frustration about that, but nintendo doesn't need fortnite to advertising their products, I think it's still fun that people act like Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing, even with switch being the 3rd best selling console of all time, the 3DS was popular, wii sold 100 mi+ and DS is the second best selling console of all time, not even couting how almost every nintendo IP broke sales records during the Switch era.
Nintendo has some gall and no pr skills. Since they also have a cross-over game being smash, and being dependent on third parties.
Well thats great news then if Nintendo is being Nintendo! Also donald mustard what a name i hope he loves mustard!
Nintendo not having their IPs in fortnite makes me respect them even more.
Nintendo is like that one kid playing with toys. And when you ask to play with their toys they say "only if you play with me and only me."
Fortnite has pretty realistic guns in it, I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't want characters like Mario and Pikachu in it for that reason alone
Yea, but it was Samus Aran that was on the table!
The Fortnite Devs knew that they didn't have a chance with Mario, Zelda or Pokémon.
And yet Nintendo is stingier than a toddler with their pacifier. 😅
Ok yeah but they were literally willing to put Samus in under their conditions so that’s not really valid
I agree, but mario had two games, and he used guns
@@RolandWilliams-pd7xz Well those were cartoonish plasma lasers that are supposed to look cool, not devastating the only thing that really comes close are the gun items in smash
@@CordyBrush It’s not greed it’s about control
I respect them sticking to their guns
Whoring out their characters would have been greedier
Last time Nintendo characters were on other systems we got the CDI games and Nintendo has no control over those and they were afraid of that type of thing happening again
They also feel the same way about fan projects. Anything that uses their IPs (fangames, emulators, mods, the like) are targeted or taken down by Nintendo. In fact, I'm pretty sure that when people pirate or leak their games, they go after them for using their IPs and not the actual crime.
i think that's the only time I have big issues with Nintendo. Destroying fan projects for 30-year-old games is insane
I assume this is the same news update Gamexplain did like an hour or two ago.
Still isn't as bad as Sony's Helldivers 2 controversy
You forgot the Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders that only work when you're playing on a Nintendo console. So stoopid.
What you expected? Nintendo to not be Nintendo?
Wait, why do we even still like Nintendo? 🤔🤔 ( aside their iconic games and characters )
@@caltendo7658 Exactly for their iconic games and characters
@@caltendo7658 And because they are a good company.
Nintendo was founded in Japan in 1889 as a playing card company.
Today Nintendo is a gaming publisher and software company.
@@jamest1214 And your point is...?.
Remember guys its always ok to pirrate nintendo games and SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T!
You mean force companies like atlus to make $30+ expansions on a $70 remake?
Made sonic colours ultimate which was way buggier than any other version of sonic colours, and even had issues that only appeared when emulating the game (along with adding dlc to it)?
Made sonic superstars have dlc that you could only get by going to random stores irl?
Trust me my guy, Sega ain't a saint. Segas pretty bad.
@@camharknessits almost like we cant trust these companies 🤯
Personally, you gotta give Nintendo credit. They did a solid by staying away from fortnite. I'd work with others but not on games like fortnite. I wouldn't tolerate my character being used to crudely shoot at others.
did you not know he was talking about FORTNITE , and NOT fortnite battle royale , they are different , fortnite got a creative mode , racing mode , music mode ect , so how those gamemods have any shooting ?!
I watched a video about which of the 7 sins various video game companies are, and they hit the nail on the head for Nintendo; their biggest sin is pride.
This is why i love being a sonic fan. Sure SEGA isn't perfect, but at least they listen to fans and support fan works, Which is why i think shadow would be a skin for fortnite, since he's well known for shooting guns.
How is "linstening to fans" mean: let's put our characters in fortnite!
That's stupid statment
Sonic/Sega meat riders 🙄
Can’t believe this video came on my birthday 🎉!
i know this is a frustrating topic but the juxtaposition between the happy nintendo intro and the video basically being "dear lord i just-- i really just-- why, nintendo?"
Nintendo has been immensely protective and possessive of their IPs for as long as any of us can remember.
It is strange but I suspecy the rationale is more like "if I can call the shots and create it MY WAY, no one can maneuver to sweep my IPs under the rug with an obscure western legal clause, control of the homefield advantage is paramount in business, even if I must create my own home field there."
If you think it's bad sportsmanship in the global market, and misses out on a LOT of potential business profits? You're probably not wrong. But anyone looking to deal with Nintendo needs to understand who they're dealing with and why.
I don't play fortnite, but just seeing mario or any of nintendo's bright, colorful characters holding a dark realistic gun just feels wrong. Even if you gave samus anything except her blaster arm. I couldn't even see samus with a realistic gun either. It feels wrong.
(please dont give me hate comments for this opinion)
I agree but it would be pretty funny to get 200 hundred pumped by Mario lol 😂
@@Thatoneguy64243 yeah, it would actually be pretty funny.
okay but remember samus also exists in a franchise where she genocided the entire metroid species. Also in these games, you see plenty of corpses and x-parasites that possess other life forms. I think Metroid is much darker than fortnite tbh
having nintendo character in fortnite would be fun.
We got a Nintendo direct like 2 months ago... that's wasn't that far away, it literally comes down to just...wait
No. That was a partner showcase
@@BulbminFan still a nintendo direct
But it wasn't *Nintendo* games. Which is what we want. The last of those was 7 months ago
I have to agree.
If it's true about Gmods then it don't even surprise me. How much time Nintendo do some hunt for attack their own community again? Kaze Emanuar for the SM64 modding? The Smash tournament? And more? Instead Nintendo chase their own community just for the money to win in the court if they win lawsuit, they better first to take care of their Switch who is still empty about various exclusive games on it since 7 years who turning too much into some cash money game such Mario and some old game port who get succeed on previous consoles, Pokemon with the last games who was meh, Fire Emblem and Kirby while we still waiting for a new Star Fox game, still no more news about Metroid Prime 4 who have been promise 7 years ago on the Switch and still nothing except just 2 Metroid games, still wait for a new Kid Icarus game, a modern F-Zero in 3D and HD and a true Donkey Kong Country who doesn't smell the Wii U port about Tropical Freeze so, with the mistakes they do by attack their own community and to not move too much their a*s for made more various game, it will need a miracle for their next console, the day when they gonna annouce officialy a new one, that it get more sales than the Switch but I don't think it will beat the Switch so just the sheep who swear for just ask for another Mario, Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Kirby games and that all gonna have some pity by buy it but others people don't gonna take the risk again.
Edit: I have contact the Steam support for know more about this story about Gmods and Nintendo content be removed and they confirm it's really Nintendo who ask them to remove Nintendo stuff so it's not a troll who try to imitated Nintendo after they made some check for make sure if it's Nintendo.
Yeah, even though I dont play Fortnite, it would be good exposure for Metroid Prime so Nintendo is stupid.
Imagine the thousand year door remake has Kevin voicing Mario instead of Charles.
The only thing holding Nintendo back is themselves.
I have a friend who claims he’d hate if Nintendo added skins to Fortnite cuz he thinks, uhhh, he thinks, he, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I honestly don’t know why he thinks that smth about amiro being a kids game and Fortnite not which makes no sense
Personally, if anything Nintendo came to Fortnite, I would be so happy
Things like this is why I was super surprised when Cadence of Hyrule happened. Yes it is only on Switch, but they let another company make a Zelda game.
On top of that it was an indie studio
I’m sorry but idk what the big deal is. If you want to say oh Metroid would sell more copies because it’s in Fortnite. Maybe like a few more, like that’s not a guarantee. I know people will just look at Samus and say, oh that’s that one character from Smash Bros.
Nintendo: WE MUST STAY PURE, WE MUST NOT VENTURE TO CONSOLES NOT FAMILIAR TO US, WE MUST REMAIN PURE!, PURE!!!
Nintendo can do whatever they want period people. It is what it is. I don't play Fortnight anyway. I'm not missing anything. I don't care for Fortnight.
Why do I get the feeling that Nintendo is eventually going to turn into another Ken Penders?
Eventually? It already is and has been since 2015
@@technobladeleakedclips1827 Yeah, but they haven't shipped Luigi with several female Mario characters yet.
Nintendo did the same thing with Minecraft since when you get Minecraft on the switch, you get an exclusive Mario texture pack.
Nintendo is goofy my friend, they really are
Very true
You know what they also are?
…
Unbeatable B)
I don't exactly agree, bro. I see where your coming from, it being stupid for only being seen by Switch fans but it IS Nintendo's IP, Character, Female suit wearing blonde sharp shooter. Tbh, I understand them, if your that crazy about Nintendo characters, won't you be playing on Switch? Won't you have already played Metriod Dread if you're that eager to play her? There is enough other characters for other people to enjoy (if they don't have Switch) for Nintendo to make it exclusive. Remember the saying: Professionals have standards.
This is one of the many reasons I left my loyalship to Nintendo for SEGA and SONY. Nintendo hates fangames, neglects lots of it’s franchises and is just greedy in general. They are just taking advantage of their fame, those sick bastards.
They also did this with Skylanders Supechargers. There are DK and Bowser Skylanders, but you can only play them on the Wii U.
Nintendo doesn’t realize that we are basically free advertisement, I get why they are like this but it’s just plain stupid and ridiculous.
Wich it is their business practices are so outdated its ridiculous
You say you get why they're like this, but then you backpeddle nd say "it's just plain stupid and ridiculous". Which one is it ? One or the other. It's either you understand why they're like this and leave it as that; or say it's just plain stupid and ridiculous and leave it as that. You can't have a middle ground here.
@@G.L.999 do you understand anything I said you can disagree with something despite understanding why they done. I fully understood why Nintendo is very overprotective of their IPs but at the same time that doesn’t mean I agree with them if anything it’s one of the things I despise about Nintendo.
@@tobyzilla
1. always using inferior hardware which wouldn't be so bad is they didn't went that far of inferiority
2. Their Ip over-protectiveness and that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact they actively attack the fans despite them using them with fair use and not even profiting off of them.
3. Not creating original or alternate versions characters and worlds based on their IPs (this doesn't happen is often but it gets on my nerves when it happens.
4. Refusal or rarely port their game to others console aside from their consoles because as the video said a lot of their franchises could be a lot more mainstream if they port their games onto different devices.
@@damonlam9145 wow hey kid here 🧻 cry about it somewhere else
They’ve been putting Metroid in a jail cell for such a long time and I have no idea. Why have an IP like that at all if you’re not gonna do anything with it.
Nintendo is just the disney of gaming
Honestly. Good. Samus shouldnt be in the cancer infested blob that is fortnite
Side note if fortnite dies it will be good for gaming. FPS is the MOST played out genre.
fortnite is not an fps
Fortnite is tps battle Royale 😂its haters don't even know how it plays 😂
We knew about this when it happened a few years ago. Why is it a problem now?
What was the matter with those Nintendo characters being exclusive to the GameCube back then? Are you saying Nintendo should've just made their characters available to PS2/Xbox versions too? Make it make sense! I mean, I made an except with the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur 2, why didn't you do the same with the Gamecube versions of those other two Gamecube versions you mentioned earlier?
nintendo just hates their fans lmao
I wouldn't fault Nintendo for being prudes about their characters showing up on rival consoles. But I have a different beef with Nintendo, hiring western localizers with a focus on DEI. They re-released Paper Mario 1k year door and the three male Goombas that were cat calling Goombella had their dialogue changed to a non-offensive throw away line because of "toxic" masculinity. Despite the fact Bowser routinely kidnaps Princess Peach in order to force her into marriage.
Imagine not knowing who Cloud Strife is until Smash Bros
On one hand of this, I don't care because I don't care about Fortnite.
On the other hand, I do care because this is Nintendo being bitter jerks again.
Fortnite: Hey! It's me!, almost number 1 game in the world! I would like to ask you if we could borrow your character for a little while! Nintendo: Yeah okay, just make sure that the character can only be used by switch users. Fortnite: ??? That takes out the whole point... Nintendo: *Closes the door* Fortnite: Guess we'll have to go to Sega then...
People just want to blame Nintendo all the time. This wasn't just a Nintendo decision. Epic Games didn't agree to Nintendo's terms, therefore it's also partially their fault. This isn't really a new thing, either, when it comes to Nintendo only wanting Nintendo characters in a different game, but only on a Nintendo console. They did this with SoulCalibur II. Link wasn't playable on the Playstation and X-Box versions. Why they're protective of their IPs in this regard is something I don't know. But it's their IP, so they can do whatever they want.
Honestly i don’t care because i don’t really like play or ever will plat fortnite cuz the toxic fanbase killed any real respect for it now ik ppl ginna say otherwise but here’s the thing toxic fans never left they always come back
I don't want Nintendo stuff on non-Nintendo stuff. I don't care about non-Nintendo video gaming things not counting some arcade games that came to Nintendo and the Mario shows.
I know its not goofy. Goofy is a Disney character. Also goofy is a characteristic and a personality. Nintendo is Asian. Very few of their cartoons barely understand that version of that character.
Nintendo probably just showed Epic games their pre-written pamphlet regarding their "Cosmetics Policy" where they outlined that their characters can never be viewed cross platform. And when challenged on this, they probably just said, "Ok, and?"
I literally played all the Metroid games legally on Nintendo systems after playing Samus in smash bros, this would become more common if Nintendo put characters like this in Fortnite. Like, they’re denying themselves money, wtf.
Naaah, i’m completely with Nintendo. I don’t care about fortnite skins or advertisements. As long as they continue to deliver the best games i’m chill
They never do lol
nintendo dont need fortnight, fortnight needs nintendos ip/ branding,
the characters like Metroid can be advertised on smash brothers a already massive crossover game lol just cope
