I don't know whether to be happy or incredibly troubled by this news.
Take it as good news. Nintendo's been trying to push Metroid where they can and Fortnite is a huge game. Remember Samus's Gunship in Rocket League?

The fact that, assuming this is true, Samus is repping Nintendo with Kratos and Cheif for their respective consoles, is a pretty big deal. Cuz Fortnite's a goofy enough game that they could've just thrown Mario in.

Fortnite Bad jokes aside, this could help Metroid maybe expand its audience of bit. Samus is a Nintendo all star, no doubt about it. But Metroid is still a little more niche than things like Mario, Kirby or Pokémon.

They're definitely trying to push Samus as the serious mascot of Nintendo more than ever lately.

Reminder that it is okay to cry. I did not cry today, but you should let yourself cry. It is a pain reliever.

So there's a rumor that Kratos, Master Chief, and Samus are coming to Fortnite.

Kratos and Master Chief have been leaked.

You know what that means :)
Wouldn’t it be inkling tho and not Samus? There’s some datamine of Splatoon content coming to Fortnite or something lemme find it

Metroid Prime 4 is still in development. It will come soon. This is your reminder for today.

For sure. Usually they use Link for those things, but Zelda has such a mix of artstyles compared to Metroid that generally has a more serious tone.

It's not even cartoons - sure, off the top of my head, there's Invader Zim and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and apparently, Nickelodeon tried their hardest to kill the Legend of Korra (from what I've read, they pulled the last season off of TV and only aired it online), but Fox did the same thing with Firefly (airing episodes out of order, and/or at random times) among many others.

This sort of attitude frustrates me, because it always has the same result - the network randomly moves shows around the schedule with no rhyme or reason, switches it to different channels altogether, and then blames the audience for the ratings not being high enough.

In a horribly ironic twist of fate, me trying to enter developer mode on my school chromebook not only did nothing(although I was able to try and do it, just it reverted back to regular mode immediately), but also got rid of all the apps I wasn't supposed to have. This is not gonna be fun...

I'm not happy about the news of DuckTales getting canned.

At least they had enough time for Della Duck to make a good impact on viewers. I hope she and other lesser known Disney duck relatives show up more often in animation after this show ends. Paget Brewster really nailed the role.
At we still are getting more of the universe as Darkwing Duck is getting rebooted:

I googled Soviet Dieselpunk and it looks like stuff from a sci-fi movie with an enormous budget.

KOF 15 stuff. Kyo, Benimaru, and Shun'ei are confirmed. Kyo's look is more classic, Benimaru's got a newer design. K' and Leona are also teased briefly, but we don't see their entire design.

More proper info will come in January.

They're pushing Zelda to be a more cinematic adventure nowadays, pretty much Nintendo's quinessential Triple A series at this point, and even then, aside from like Twilight Princess, none of the games where dark and serious.

Though I wonder what they would do with a new Metroid game on HD hardware. This is the first time the series jumped to HD, so I hope to see a massive leap.

I don't care for Fortnite whatsoever, but any game that can get Venom, Storm, Batman, Master Chief, Kratos and potentially Samus in one place is pretty impressive.

Still, it makes me wish Nintendo characters could've been bonus characters in MUA3, since they were about to be in the Wii Version of MUA1.
