But they're happy to have characters like Snake in Smash?

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Snake was actually on nintendo consoles with the first Metal Gear

Smash is a nintendo franchise on a nintendo platform. Allowing outside IPs in, is completely different than lending your IP out to others. Nintendo is super protective of their characters.

But isn’t that the opposite scenario? (Someone else’s IP on their platform)

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Why is that a problem? Their a business, they aren't required to be consistent regarding others IP vs theirs. Each is an isolated brand decision

snake is not a nintendo character

What, you expect Nintendo to care about a double standard?
