This thread is made to relate and talk about third party characters/franchises who have had any contact with Nintendo.
The thread is made under the "unofficial rule" that if someone has met already anyone from Nintendo, they have every right to meet again in Smash. It also motivated me to make this thread, as someone in the Tekken thread told me I am not quite familiar with the Tekken franchise, and to some extent that is right, but I really don't know much on the Dynasty Warriors franchise, on which Takamaru was a guest. If this thread is not appropiate for the Character Discussion area, please move it to the general area. OK here we go.
-Bomberman
Bomberman faced Wario in the game Wario Blast back in 1994. A game released for the west only. Correct me if I am wrong, but is this the first crossover Nintendo had in-game with a third party?
-Soul series
Link was a guest in Soul Calibur II for the Game Cube.
-Pacman
Pacman was a character in the Mario Kart Arcade game. It was not only released in Japan.
-Dynasty/Samurai Warriors
Takamaru was a guest in the Samurai Warriors III game for the Wii.
-Itadaki/Fortune Street
Nintendo characters face Dragon Quest characters in a board/party game. But it was not a well received game.
-Dead Or Alive Dimensions for the 3DS
Team Ninja made the controversial Metroid Other_M game. Later they included a Metroid Stage with Ridley as a stage hazard in the DOA 3DS game.
-Mario Hoops/Sports mix games
Final Fantasy characters appear in these games
-Scribblenauts series
Nintendo characters appear in it... and also meet Mortal Kombat characters
-Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Many Nintendo related items and costumes appear in this game for the Wii U.
-Megami Tensei series
There will soon be a crossover between this enormous franchise, and Nintendo's Fire Emblem series. To be more precise, with the "Shin" line. Of course this could extend to other divisions of the franchise like Devil Survivor, or the latest more popular Persona series.
Anyone I missed and/or need to be mentioned? Again not a total factor, but it would help if characters who had previous interactions with Nintendo characters are considered likely Smash candidates. For example, from Fortune Street, Jessica would be my pick as she is a quite known DQ character.
Not counting the Metal Gear and Mario & Sonic at the Olympics series as they are already present in Smash. Of course not counting the EA games as real people can't be on Smash.
Also, it does not count if the characters have met in media outside videogames, no matter if they were official or not (like cartoons, comics and such).
Due to obvious reasons, fully owned Rare characters are not elegible either.
