I think Nintendo just has this mentality of the fact that their IPs should only be on the game version thats on their consoles so it makes other players have the reason of buying the game on that specific console only. This worked in old times where it would be in their story modes as skins or even dlc like sonic lost world. The reason its not working now is because theya re trying to implement this to fully online games so it is almost impossible to arrange it so that only the Nintendo players will have access to that content. They should really open up their options to modern day and age and understand that its not the same anymore.

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.

Nintendo doesn't really want to sell out their characters. They want to stay original. So putting Samus there would be nice, but then it would lead to fans wanting MORE nintendo characters like Bayonetta. which is a bad idea given how literally sexually appealing she is. Plus, it would be more annoying to hear kids go "LOOK IT'S MARIO FROM FORTNITE!!!" while not knowing where this plumber REALLY originates from.

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.

1:21 Considering they allowed Sakurai to mention XBox, I think it might be they don’t want to steal the spotlight from them.

They also did this with Skylanders Supechargers. There are DK and Bowser Skylanders, but you can only play them on the Wii U.

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. 😂

Remember when the name “Nintendo” was synonymous with industry and business innovation and playing along with others? Pepperidge Farm remembers

The only things that irritate me this year are: Nintendo goofy business David Zaslav greediness and KZread Community Guidelines strike

And in similar news, Nintendo has also recently issued takedowns against Garry's Mod, meaning that Valve now has to trawl through almost _20 YEARS_ of Steam Workshop content and remove everything Nintendo related. I understand being protective of your IPs, but this is just ridiculous. I also find it funny how borderline passive-aggressive the Garry's Mod post was. The subject line was simply "It's Nintendo, need more be said?"

Imagine the thousand year door remake has Kevin voicing Mario instead of Charles.

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 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.

They are also being themselves after waiting 20 years with Garry’s Mod, SFM. The whole nine yards

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.

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.

Probably to reach the ten minute mark.

The reason Nintendo is being Nintendo again has to do with the fact that the company is being run by people from the mid/late 20th century. They are stuck in a certain archaic business mindset refusing to adapt or compromise. The company is in dire dire need of some change.

sometimes, I feel like Nintendo is being dumb, not collaborating with other games kinda sucks, I would've loved to play as Samus in Fortnite, but since I retired from the game and Nintendo denying the request is just.... sad, now with this Nintendo copyright going on is like, the Lawsuit arc from SMG4.

Everyone else does what Nintendon't.

This is information that has been known for years though

Nintendo’s desperation for control over their IPs is frustrating, but they know they can get away with it. It doesn’t matter if it’s anti-consumer. You’re still gonna buy the games anyways. To be clear, I’m not blaming the fans. Buy what you want to. But still. Having your characters on other platforms would get them interested in getting a Switch and seeing what all the hubbub’s about.

The only thing holding Nintendo back is themselves.

If only half of the people pretending to be upset about this online actually bought Metroid games, maybe the franchise would not be as "niche". Not blaming this channel or others for jumping on this (by their own admission over a year old) non-news though, you mine that outrage and play that algorithm man, get your bag I respect it.

@Nin10Doland: Keeping it exclusive to a certain console not only Nintendo does this. The game Superliminal the multiplayer feature is exclusive to steam, also I heard that maybe Xbox only with the console Xbox game pass have the multiplayer option, and I remember seeing it but I can't find the video again.

I think it's due to copyright junk: some lawyer said that if they loosen up in any way, they'll lose the rights to their own characters, similar to disney...

I knew it....Nintendo never will have their own characters crossover on another plateform ever and if they ever do its going to be exclusive to their own cosnoles. Honestly, if they did it would be great exposure for them and their games, but no they don't want that....like why its so frustrating!?

Why didn't they just like... Make it so you could only *buy* nintendo skins if you have a switch? I mean its still keeping it switch exclusive while still being seen by everyone

Admittedly every single character in smash bros had/ has at least 1 game on a Nintendo console at one point in time... Even if the game they were in was 10 to 20 years old at the release of the smash game they were in... But definitely agree it is still hypocritical...

About the fortnite thing: I am very sure nintendo is **mortified** by the notion of nintendo characters appearing on any other software than one owned by nintendo, since they know that their characters and games are what save their asses whenever they screw up, and if they did not have that safety net they would be dead in the water.

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.

they don't wanna add samus because if zero-suit was in the game, she'd pass through the fortnite thiccification filter cowards

They also did this for minecraft with their mario mash up pack, the mario skins can't be seen on other consoles and pc

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

they just recently sent DCMAs to Garys mod modders to take down 20 years worth of mods yesterday so...yeah... they giving off that old man energy for sure again -_-

Nintendo knows nobody buys their systems for power and specs. They make money on their unique IPs. I can understand them wanting to protect them at all costs, as to have longevity in this industry they need to preserve their selling points. There’s room to argue if a mere skin in Fortnite would jeopardize anything substantial, but I can at least see the reasoning

Yeah the whole reason I'm the biggest Fire Emblem fan known to man nowadays is Smash Bro Melee back in the day. Because I wanted to know whose these cool princes were.

They didnt do 1 specific collaboration with another company? HOW COULD THEY?/s usually im not on nintendo's side with these things, but this is just the most minor thing of all time.

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

This is more a problem with Japan. They have a closed economy and are approximately 10 years behind the rest of the world as far as the things that are prominent in pop culture and the way businesses are run. They dont have much legal precedent for fair use and they dont engage with media and culture from places outside japan very much. So they literally feel that certain things are threats to their IPs or brand integrity when in reality laws in places with fair use will generally protect them.

Is Nintendo a dead company now?

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.

Fortnight has their own version of John Wick before they added John Wick. Why not make more characters like that? Bring in Mega Man to justify arm cannons and then make Zero Mavus or something. Captain Eagle could have an Eagle Strike that acts like Captain Falcon’s Side B followed by a Falcon Punch.

Same situation for the Mario Minecraft texture pack on Wii U/Switch

It's called exclusivity... they want it to be something only on their console.. it's their IPs.. they wanna give their players something they're not getting anywhere else..

Man it reminds me when valve refused to let the tf2 scout into Fortnite 😭

We knew about this when it happened a few years ago. Why is it a problem now?

Can’t believe this video came on my birthday 🎉!

Mario on any other platform other than Nintendo is just cursed IMO

You make good points. I like that Nintendo doesn’t white their IP out but sometimes it should be okay for select crossovers. I even understand Samas being exclusively playable on a switch, but viewable!? Why wouldn’t you want Samus to be seen from other platforms? Wouldn’t that be like free advertisements for people to be like “awe! Man I wish I had a switch so I could play as that guy!”

They also did this with the wii version of marvel ultimate alliance. Link and samus where supposed to be in it but for similar reasons they said no

As a lifetime Nintendo fan I’ve never had interest in Metroid because it just doesn’t feel like something their proud of so I haven’t tried it. I never really see Metroid just hear about it

Nintendo sucks when it comes to situations like this lol

on one hand Switch has the most fun games of the 3 main consoles and they seem to do more stuff with their franchises/characters than Sony and Microsoft on the other hand they make a lot of questionable decisions and are a bit too dmca trigger happy and don't seem to like crossovers unless they have it their way
