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.

But you see, it actually works in both directions.

Yes, Nintendo fans will be more exposed to those characters from Sony/MS... but fans of those franchises will also be more likely to get Smash, and therefore exposure to a heap of Nintendo franchises (and having bought the system, they'll be more likely to then buy additional games for the system).

Mind you, I'd much rather see Yooka-Laylee in Smash than Banjo Kazooie if BK remains owned by MS. But then, I'd also love to see Nintendo buy BK back from MS.

I see your point but it's not that simple.

Besides, we're talking about DLC characters of a game launched a year ago. No one is going to buy the console now for those new characters.

I'd prefer Soul Caliber characters over seeing Tekken in Smash but Namco is the one that decides and Tekken is their primary fighting game series overall.

Why would there be so many non-Nintendo characters being added?

Nintendo ran out of characters!

@OP: Its Akira not Arika.

This is how Nintendo deals with 3rd party companies now, nothing about actual games coming out, its all about cameos themed items/armor/levels/costumes for DLC.
