Samus Aran didn’t come to Fortnite as Nintendo wanted skin exclusive to Switch

We now know the full reason why Samus Aran never made it into Fortnite and that is because Nintendo wanted Samus to be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite and therefore declined Epic Games’ offer. Epic Games wasn’t too happy about that either as they argued it should be available for all users regardless of platform in the same vein as Master Chief from Microsoft’s Halo and Kratos from PlayStation’s God of War series.
