Capcom emphasizes collaboration with Nintendo to make Mega Man inclusion in Smash Bros. possible
Yesterday’s Super Smash Bros. news was highlighted by the confirmation of Mega Man’s inclusion. Obviously this took a great amount of work on the part of both Nintendo and Capcom. Mega Man is Capcom’s baby, and without their input, you wouldn’t be seeing him in the new Wii U and 3DS game.
The collaboration between Nintendo and Capcom is something that Capcom senior online/community manager Brett Elston emphasized on Twitter:
Nintendo doesn’t “care” about Mega Man more than Capcom. Those are logos. PEOPLE on both sides made SSB happen. That design is collaboration

Years in, I still understand the frustration. But digging to find the negative with something this positive hinders the conversation
