Former Epic Games Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard has revealed that Nintendo’s reluctance to allow its characters to appear on other consoles has prevented the inclusion of playable Nintendo characters in Fortnite. While Epic Games would be eager to add Nintendo characters to the game, Nintendo reportedly insists on exclusivity, limiting the characters’ availability to the Nintendo Switch platform. This policy has been observed in previous crossovers, such as Rocket League’s exclusive Nintendo-themed vehicles for Switch.
