Greetings Allies! In the spirit of the now passing Holidays, there's no better present in gaming then to see your favorite IP or character hop into the amalgamation that is Fortnite. So I've below I've listed out a bunch of characters/IPs who may or may not have made it to Fortnite already. To make it easier, this includes skins and cosmetics. So the Tenet preview event doesn't count, as it didn't have any actual items. Let's see if you can guess who has and hasn't hopped aboard the battle bus so far. Bonus points if you can guess the specific items. Goat Simulator? Yes! There is a skin called "The GOAT" that you could have bought or get for free by purchasing Goat Simulator 3 on the Epic Game Store in the first release year. The Matrix? Yes! While there was no skin, there was a series of emotes, including Neo's bullet dodge and Trinity's high kick, and a free glider of a Sentinel. Godzilla? No! While Godzilla has appeared in WarZone and PUBG, the MonsterVerse has never appeared in Fortnite. Nier? No! Not in Fortnite, although there was a Nier crossover even exclusively in PUBG Mobile. Frankenstein? Yes! There was a skin of Frankenstein specifically themed after the Universal Monsters property that even included a black and white film grain overlay. Pokemon? No! There hasn't been a Pokemon crossover event in any Battle Royale as of yet. Sonic the Hedghog? No! There hasn't been any Sonic crossover in any Battle Royale. Tron? Yes! There was a series of skins released themed after Tron, as well as pickaxes. Ghostbusters? Yes! While none of the actors' likenesses were featured, there was a series of generic characters in Ghostbusters outfits, as well as a ECTO-1 themed glider, complete with siren. Dungeons and Dragons? No! There has never been any DND collaboration with Fortnite. Stranger Things? Yes! One of the earliest high profile collaborations, you could at one point buy skins for Hopper and the Demogorgon. Castlevania? No! There has never been a crossover with Fortnite and the Belmont Clan. Attack on Titan? No! While there hasn't been a Fortnite crossover, Attack on Titan did have an event crossing over with PUBG Mobile. L&R & Sorry Enforcer, spongejay1

Love and Respect: Hey Allies So it appears that did you know gaming YouTube channel was able to win a counter to Nintendo's claim so that their video documenting a long cancelled Zelda game was reinstated. My question is what are your thoughts on the matter and Nintendo as a whole when it comes to their fans? Is there something Nintendo fans can do that could change Nintendo from being so lawyer trigger happy when it comes to fan projects? For context I'm not necessarily a Nintendo fanboy myself but I know several of the allies are. I have played a few of their games over the years but mainly stick to gaming on one console due to a lack of time and resources to go beyond that. I have a great respect for Nintendo when it comes to the games they make and their impact on the industry as a whole but from the outside looking in, it just kinda feels like Nintendo does kinda a poor job of treating it's fans. I know that Japanese laws are different when it comes to IP rights etc but even still I don't think I've seen any company be more aggressive in terms of taking legal action against their fans. And sure some of the take downs are warranted for say monetary gains that shouldn't be allowed but it seems most of the time it's relatively harmless fan projects that get taken down. I just don't get it why this happens and in some sense why the fans just wave it off and try to hold Nintendo to be better when treating/ dealing with its fans. Would love your perspective on it. Love and respect, Chris Eyerly
