Samus didn’t appear in Fortnite because Nintendo wanted her to be a Switch exclusive (www.videogameschronicle.com)

I'm not much of a fan of Metroid. I have never played Fortnite.

I think this is a dumb thing for Nintendo to do, because it's going to do two things among a fairly young gaming demographic. It's going to send the message that Nintendo properties are absolutely not for having fun with. And it's going to cut off a perfectly free source of advertising.

"Hey cool skin, who is that?" "Samus, from Metroid." "Metroid? What's that?" "A sci-fi series from Nintendo, it's pretty cool."

Now, Nintendo had a girl swatted for drawing Pokemon fan art, so I'm never going to be a customer of theirs ever again. I can never forgive Nintendo for that. So.
