Former Epic Games CCO Donald Mustard has explained why Fortnite was never able to add a Nintendo representative like Samus Aran as a playable character.
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.
