Luckily for us, it seems that more crossover projects could well be in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to\u00a0<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/waypoint.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/435z3m\/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-on-accessibility-whats-next-and-uh-waluigi\">Waypoint<\/a>, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aim\u00e9 has spoken about Nintendo&#8217;s relationship with external development partners. When asked about the possibility of more collaborations appearing in the future, Reggie talked about Nintendo&#8217;s &#8220;rich history&#8221; of partnerships and how the company is &#8220;always having those types of conversations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Nintendo has a rich history of partnering with other companies whether it&#8217;s work we&#8217;ve done with Activision back with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/skylanders_superchargers\"><strong>Skylanders<\/strong><\/a> and the access we gave them to some of our intellectual property. You&#8217;ve had Link show up in various fighting games in the past. I mean just look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_smash_bros_ultimate\"><strong>Smash Bros.<\/strong><\/a> and the help that Mr. Sakurai is getting in the creation of that game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And so we have a legacy of working with partners. In the end though these relationships are based on a number of factors. One is a strong understanding of us as a company and the ways that we like to do business. Second is a strong understanding of the intellectual property that we might be talking about how that might be used. And then third, a mentality of, you know, how does one plus one become something\u00a0<em>big<\/em>. We want to do things that are\u00a0<em>big<\/em>. And I&#8217;m not going to, I&#8217;m not going to break news per se, but we&#8217;re always having those types of conversations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>If conversations are always ongoing with other studios, it&#8217;s possible that several crossover projects could be in development as we speak. Of course, Ubisoft has become a great partner in recent years with the two titles mentioned above, and Bandai Namco has had a big role in the development of the latest Super Smash Bros. titles, so it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising to see these studios take on more projects in the future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Would you like to see more crossovers?
