Rumor: Epic Reportedly Wanted To Get Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft First-Party Exclusives On The Epic Games Store

Following the reveal of Epic’s planned Metroid X Fortnite crossover, another interesting Nintendo-related tidbit has emerged from the ongoing Epic v Apple court case.

According to PC Gamer, another internal document shared publicly as part of the court case has uncovered Epic’s plans to try and convince Sony, Microsoft, as well as Nintendo to put some first-party exclusives on their Epic Games storefront. In the case of Sony, Epic had apparently already offered Sony $200 million for “4-6 titles” and was “awaiting feedback”. They had also opened discussions with Microsoft, although the feedback from the publisher was somewhat lukewarm to the idea.

As for Nintendo, it appears Epic was the least optimistic about their chances, describing the endeavor as a “moonshot” and a “non-starter” given Nintendo’s corporate history.
