Fortnite’s next season could be one of its biggest crossovers ever. A new rumor claims the season will be centered around gaming legends, potentially bringing Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, Kingdom Hearts, and even more iconic franchises into Fortnite.

Tonight on the Nintendo PowerCast, we break down the rumor, discuss how characters like Sonic could actually work in Fortnite, and share which Nintendo characters we would want included in a full gaming legends season. Remember, none of these collaborations have been officially confirmed by Epic Games, so take everything with a grain of salt until an announcement is made.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently talked about how Nintendo views preserving its history and connecting players with classic games through Nintendo Switch Online. With the Nintendo Museum now giving fans a physical way to experience Nintendo’s past, and Switch Online continuing to expand with NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and now GameCube games on Switch 2, Nintendo seems focused on subscriptions as the main path forward for its classic library.

Furukawa also said Nintendo wants to keep exploring a “variety of possibilities” when it comes to giving players access to games from the past. Tonight we’re talking about what that actually means, whether Switch Online is enough, why fans still miss Virtual Console, and what Nintendo needs to do next to make its classic game strategy feel complete.
