Gaming industry is one where a lot of weird shit happen and I believe that no other industry is like this one, shit for example... super smash bros ultimate has a character named Joker and another Robin, yet no one called Batman lol.
-Sony made their own smash bros inspired game and it somehow didnt include characters from 2 of the most iconics playstation games, Snake from Metak Gear Solid and Cloud from the sky. (Instead both happenned to be megatons announcements for smash brawl, smash 4 and then again in smash ultimate).
-The most famous aspect of mgs games its their long cutscenes and voice acting, specially snake's, yet somehow both things are absent in mgs5.
-Sega always was the most in your face competitor against nintendo, went as far as to make a whole campaign of "sega does what nintendon't" yet somehow they gave up Sonic games to every nintendo console since gamecube, hell, Sonic and Mario even have their own olympic games and Sonic was also one of the megaton characters for smash brawl.
-The game industry is known lately for companies that milk games to death with lootboxes/gatcha/dlc/etc yet 2 of the most profitable series (and the ones that could do it the most) have little to none of it. Pokemon and Smash Bros, imagine for a second pokemon or smash bros belonged to ubisoft or 2k, the lootboxes for pokemon would literally turn the world upside down and make the already most profitable franchise ever into the most profitable ever ad infinitum.
-nintendo has always have completely different controllers for each generation of consoles.
-nintendo popularized multiplayer fps games in consoles back in the n64 days, yet it was microsoft who cashed it in big with halo.
-there seems to be a 3rd console curse, n64, xbox one and ps3 were the 3 consoles that sent their companies to last place coming strong from an almost total first place. If nintendo is an indicator, it seems to repeat every 3 consoles (see wii u).
-smash bros is usually critized/hated on for not being a "true" fighting game, yet it holds the titles of most sold fighting game saga and individual games.
-nintendo has always been seen as a kiddie friendly company, yet they have always been mature friendly too, see deals with konami to remake mgs, with capcom to remake resident evil, a totally new resident evil zero, also to release resident evil 4 exclusively for gamecube (plus ports of all other resident evil games) + other "3 exclusives"(specially the full lewd project number 3 and killer 7), made a full in house horror game with eternal darkness, green lighted manhunt 2 on wii, and silent hill remake for wii too, revived Bayonetta (and practically got ahold of whole series, went as far as to include her in smash bros). Among other shit I am surely missing.
-sony is the owner of ultra hd bluray tech, yet somehow xbox one s and x both support it and no ps console support it at all.
-the only 2 superheros that have gotten excellent games are Batman and Spiderman.
-some obvious homerun crossover in games that have never happenned and probably never will, are: Mushroom kingdom hearts (kh + disney + nintendo + final fantasy), metroid + halo, tomb raider + uncharted, resident evil + silent hill, devil may cry + bayonetta, street fighter + mortal kombat, etc.
So era, what are some ironic/funny trivia in games/gaming industry?
