Current Events > Scenario: You are developing a Platform Fighter for all three consoles.

(+) Yeah! (+)

This game is similar to Smash Bros, in that it's primarily a crossover between a large number of IPs that your studio owns--let's say around 36 playable characters from your own library--and will be released on the Nintendo Switch, the Playstation 4, and the Xbox One.

However, you are also bringing in a number of guest fighters: six from third party publishers (SEGA, Capcom, Ubisoft, Activision, etc.) that will be playable in all three versions, and six from the big three (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft) that will be exclusive to their respective console's version. In this scenario, this game is the third entry in its series, so your studio has some pedigree that gives you some clout when negotiating for the characters you want to use.

Which third party characters would you pick, and which console-exclusive characters would you go for?
