“The 3DS version was already finished and moving into manufacturing (cartridges take longer to produce) by the time the deal was signed with WB & Nintendo. …only the Wii U and PC [versions] remained and obviously Nintendo would only want their IP on their platform. This deal happened pretty late in development so we didn’t have time for locations. …understandably Nintendo is cautious about letting other games use their IP. So for now their characters can’t be modified.” – 5th Cell’s Jeremiah Slaczka
