From Deadpool or that Mandalorian above Peter Griffin or Rick Sanchez right down to the cast Avatar: The Last Airbender or Attack on Titan – Players have already been able to slip into numerous roles and collect epic weapons, slurp Slurp and ambush enemies in the self-built hideout. However, characters from Nintendo's wide video game world have been missing so far – although it almost worked for once.
Nintendo would value its characters in Fortnite – under one condition…
A cooperation between Nintendo and Fortnite would be the largest collaboration for its developer Epic Games. In fact, there have already been discussions about how Epic's former creative director Donald Mustard said in an interview with Game File (via NintendoLife) revealed. However, it failed because Nintendo was one very keen eye on the characters of your own IPs – and doesn't want to see them on non-company consoles. “They would be excited to see their characters in Fortnite,” Mustard said, “but only if it's on their own platforms.”
Epic would have discussed with Nintendo whether to remove Samus Aran Metroidseries could be implemented in Fortnite. The Japanese company would only have agreed to this if the figure was a Exclusive skin for the Switch would have been. This in turn speaks against the attitude of Epic, which wants to offer all Fortnite fans “the same experience, no matter what device or screen they play on”. After all, they are too Master Chief from the Microsoft exclusive game series Halo as well as Kratos from Sonys God of War been playable on all platforms.

It would certainly be a celebration for fans of both camps – Fortnite and Nintendo – not just Samus Aran, but also Characters like Link or even Super Mario featured in Epic Games' Battle Royal. Those responsible repeatedly emphasize how much they would like to bring about such a collaboration. Maybe Nintendo will give in at some point – but regardless Fortnite can prove to be a long-running and consistently popular game claim.
