The deal was Nintendo promotes FFVII:R, and they get the game for the Switch

That or Mario DLC in Dissidia NT

It's the other way around. Cloud was put in to promote smash.

This. After how shit Brawl was, the only reason I picked up Sm4sh was the Cloud DLC.

to promote fortune street

The remake is so far away it's not relevant at all.

It's already confirmed shit too.

Because of Nomura's Cloud boner.

Cloud was added in Sm4sh in 2015

FF7R is coming out in like 2020

It's not an ad if its 5 years out

>and they get the game for the Switch
lol no

Because people asked for it and since it wasn't as retarded as asking goku they tried to actually get cloud in the game.

Goku has been in Nintendo before, FF7 has never, Cloud has never, how is goku more of a stretch?

Because Goku is not a video game character

Kingdom hearts: chain of memories

if FF7 can run on a playstation 1, then the remake can run on the switch

even doom was ported to the switch

>if FF7 can run on a playstation 1, then the remake can run on the switch
There is literally zero evidence for this claim. Stop making shit up.

Because they know it'll flop because nobody wanted a remake that's episodic and has real time combat

You know this barely counts, right?

can you stop falling for the fucking bait?
god damn you are stupid

the wrost thing is that barret is going to be completely changed since it's not ok to have funny big black characters for some reason now

kek
eee
kek

I hope you didn't strain yourself lifting those goalposts

what in FF7 do you think the switch would have trouble with?
they can always downgrade the gfx just like 90% of switch games already
do you think square will just avoid the best selling console?

>Symbiosis can be obligatory, which means that one or both of the symbionts entirely depend on each other for survival, or facultative (optional) when they can generally live independently.
>Mutualism or interspecies reciprocal altruism is a relationship between individuals of different species where both individuals benefit

It's like game companies are willing to work together sometimes if it means more money/hype is involved. Strange.

>dude they can just downgrade it and make it run on the game boy lmao

>Cloud has never
Yes he has.

Because, as it turns out, Sakurai and Nintendo in particular don't really care about console wars as much as you think they do.

>"I think we should forget about console wars and focus on what’s really important: enjoying the games themselves."

>Advertise a game that probably won't be out until 2020
Not even SE are that stupid

Because fans have been asking for it for it since Melee?

Goku has more games than Cloud.

>Squenix and Nintendo do a collab
>It's just to put Cloud in Smash
>It's not a FF/FE Crossover with a FE gameplay and a fuckload of FF classes and abilities, even dipping into the good shit like Time Mages, Green Mages, and Spellblades
It's like they hate money.

>Fire Emblem x FF Tactics
>they still break the game with Orlandu

they did this with snake first.

It wasn't made to promote FF VII you dingus.
Sakurai just wanted a FF character and asked to include Cloude since he's the most popular character. Fucking Nomura wanted to shove us Lightning.

How pissed did people get when Brawl directly plugged the PS3 exclusive MGS4?

Yes but Twin Snakes was on the Gamecube.

Because in the distant past, before Nintendo became the soylent supplier they are today, back when squaresoft still existed, the two of them made great video games and collaborated out or mutual respect. This honors that past.

>and focus on cheaper hardware and empty games with shallow experience
ftfy

How? FFVII was on PS1 and represents the divide that came between them.

and they were advertising mgs4 on wii

From what I've heard, he was gonna, as you said, shove Lightning, in PS All-Stars when the developers asked for Cloud.

It was actually the Smash model that made Nomura want to change the look of Cloud in the remake. Good call.
