Retro is 100% owned by Nintendo and the Pokémon Company/Namco shouldn't be much trouble either. 

Retro is a publically traded company of whom Nintendo holds the majority of the stock, they don't own 100% of it, unless things have changed since the last place I checked.

Also you're talking about the use of characters such as

MegaMan

Bayonetta

Cloud Strife

Ryu

Pacman

Sonic

Like.... these aren't minor B List gaming characters to be used without a rather large agreement with their IP holders.

Besides even in the ideal situation where it "wasn't much trouble" it would still be more work than the port over of MK8 which like I said uses 100% Nintendo created Characters and Music.

Retro is 100% owned by Nintendo since 2002... It's a first party studio...
