      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.

      But isn’t that the opposite scenario? (Someone else’s IP on their platform)

      Why is that a problem? Their a business, they aren’t required to be consistent regarding others IP vs theirs. Each is an isolated brand decision

      What, you expect Nintendo to care about a double standard?

      Logical consistency isn’t really Nintendo’s thing
