After acquiring the Star Wars license to make games back in 2013, EA has been hard at work on a number of projects including a brand new Star Wars Battlefront from DICE.

The mere suggestion of a Fortnite character in Super Smash Bros. makes a lot Nintendo fans rage (primarily millennials, in my experience). The notion that this fad game, this corporate product that reeks of trend-following opportunism, could stand near the greats that defined our childhood is an insult. Yet if you look away from social media and towards everything that Fortnite is and has become, you’d have to admit that it’s just as industry-shaping as Final Fantasy, Pokemon, and every other franchise in Smash....

So, for gamers who capture and share video on YouTube, here’s your moment to make it worth your while using Battlefield 3....
