First off, Nintendo does not own a monopoly. They do not hold one on game consoles and they do not own one on genre (in particular franchise franchise beat-em-up mashups). Hell PS has Playstation AllStars Battle Royale…there is your franchise beat-em-up.

Second, there is a thing called licensing. As far as I can tell, Mario, Link, DK, and co. are all licensed to Nintendo. Sorta has that tied up. Sorta reminds me why Rare couldn’t remaster their version (or rerelease for that matter) GoldenEye64.

Then they will probably bring up the whole Snake and Sonic licensing….well Snake was just put in at the request of Hideo Kojima. Sakurai was given permission. Same thing with Sonic essentially (but for Nintendo generally). Why do you think have Sonic on games as DLC and have Sonic n Mario mashups thrown at us every 2 years?

As for giving permission to a major player in the console wars to release a Nintendo Product on Sony’s…….will never happen.

Pony up I say, it’s well worth it.

Cuz you know, laws and legality and stuff.

Nintendo doesn’t have a monopoly because competing titles do exist on other systems. If that were the case, Nintendo would have to cough up Mario and Link to Playstation and Xbox too, no console or company could have its own IPs or exclusives, none of that. [Gears of War on a Wii U? Weird, but I’d be down]

And if the argument is just for Smash, apparently he’s one of the many people who never touched Playsation All-Stars [shots fired?]

I’m all for Smash being on other consoles, especially if they could somehow interconnect between consoles to boost the number of online players [completely unlikely], but homie needs to learn what he’s talking about before trying to spout jargon. Silly goose.

That was a typo I mean to type 3ds
