Probably because those are skins for avatars. In Fortnite, they portray them as the actual characters coming to the game, with the introduction trailers and such.How come Phantasy star online 2 had Zelda content on other platforms?
I gonna say it safe to assume makes a whole world of difference in licensing deals.
I guess when you narrow down like this. You could get the guy from Disaster Day of Crisis, but at that point, why even bother?Samus was probably went with as the first ask because A) she'd fit proportionally and have obvious skin options and B) is probably the most famous Nintendo character Nintendo would most likely be ok with holding guns. Your other options off the top of my head would be the Star Fox gang which usually use laser weapons, and F-Zero characters, which would fit proportionally but also is WAY less significant than even Metroid.
And from the sounds of things, Nintendo was fine with it, it was just that Epic didn't want to deal with the exclusivity that Rocket League and Minecraft did. Rocket League also went with Mario and Metroid, so I think it's fair to say that a lot of game devs just probably really like Metroid.
Also the trio of Kratos/Chief/Samus gives me memories of PS2/Xbox/Gamecube magazines so maybe they were going for that.
