Interesting, but I hope it's not true.

Don't get me wrong, more options to customize our Miis is always welcome, but we're talking about SEGA. I wouldn't be surprised if they do this to promote Virtua Fighter only to later (at TGS for example?) reveal a new game for PS4 and XboxOne.

Sorry to be cynical.

Hey, there's always a silver lining.

Even if that happened exactly as you described, there's a positive... If Nintendo doesn't mind effectively advertising for games on other platforms, then they'll be a lot more open to having Banjo-Kazooie in Smash. And maybe Lemmings, too.

Now you're just going too far. Nintendo using characters from thrid parties that may or may not use Smash to advertise future launches is one thing, but using characters from Sony or Microsoft is another thing completely different.

They are "building bridges" with Third Parties but they are also competing with Sony/MSoft.
