Mario with a gun, yea doubt that's every going to happen.

Miyamoto would have to die before this happening

And even then, I can imagine him rising from his grave to slap Tim's face

Not happening

From Star Wars to Naruto, Epic Games has managed to nab all kinds of brand crossovers for its skins and characters - and it still hasn't counted out going for Nintendo.

Sax Persson, Epic's head of ecosystem in Fortnite, recently told Axios how difficult their attempts have been to add Mario, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, Link, Zelda, Samus, and other characters from the Nintendo universe to Fortnite's ever-expanding roster of skins and avatars. He explained that Epic's efforts to convince Nintendo to allow the company to insert Mario and the gang into Fortnite have gone nowhere.



So why has Nintendo not budged on allowing its characters in the metaverse game? Speculation has largely swirled around the fact that Fortnite is a multiplatform game allowing, for example, PlayStation character Kratos to run around on Xbox consoles. It's possible that Nintendo doesn't want the same deal for its beloved characters.

Kit Ellis, a former Nintendo public relations managers who's since left the company, offered a pretty straightforward explanation in a video as well:





Still, while the prospects look dim, it's at least clear that Epic hasn't given up on it.

They will do it if there's an exclusive version for the Switch, featuring the characters.

Xbox, Playstation? Dream on..

No.. no... kat is such noble... Kat would never pick up a gun... and I would protect her.



Nintendo would not let its properties fall into the clutches of a rogue company like Epic Games.
