this will be a gen that will be rememberedWatch this being nothing.
It seem that the hints of the items on Phil Spencer Shelf is all coming to fruition.
He's already in Smash.
Third party games doing well on Switch are why Microsoft wants to partner with them. Microsoft works with Nintendo as a third party to sell software on Nintendo's hardware.Nintendo has worked with apple and are ok releasing titles on systems they feel are not competition. Xbox really doesn't compete with switch. They compliment each other. 3rd party games dont do all that well on switch.
Also nintendo holds grudges. I only know they do because they blacklisted a designer that had made successful games for them, only because he left the company right before the game shipped.
They will never work with sony, ever. Since psx was created as a response to nintendo cancelling the sony cd drive addon for the snes/super famicom.
octopath I think
More likely to see more Xbox exclusives on Switch like Cuphead than Nintendo putting willfully putting ANYTHING on Xbox.
Cuphead has been on Switch for a long time. PS4 too. It isn't a MS game anyway.
There are several MS studio games on Switch already though including both Ori games.
It is funny MS releases games on Switch exactly the same as any other third-party and fans call it a "Microsoft and Nintendo partnership".

Moon never been first partyI know cuphead went over long ago, but I thought I remembered an interview or something where they said that they required Microsoft's blessing to do it. I don't exactly remember and am too lazy to research this (lol) but if I recall correctly, MS may have helped fund the game or supported them in some way, but the studio eventually was wishing it could grab more sales for the game and asked. (God I hope I'm right because if I'm not I'm going to get decimated by xbox fans lol)
Edit: also LOL at Microsoft and Nintendo partnership. I must say I totally forgot about Ori and didn't realize till now that Moon were actually MS first party and hadn't simply contracted an exclusivity deal or some such...
Moon never been first party
But yes,they have spoken to ms their will to publish on switch

Just worded poorly, Microsoft own the Ori IP, not the studio.They used similar verbiage about being an independent game developer on their web site, until the very end of the paragraph where they mention becoming a MS studio when acquired in 2011. Yeah, it's not exactly obvious. I don't feel silly for not knowing this anymore, lol.

I think your mind is calling you, it claims you lost it.I don't see the big deal in these two companies working together. If anything that would benefit MS more than Nintendo because MS does not have a lot of solid first party titles right now.
Most of the games that are on Xbox, except for halo, gears and forza. Nintendo could get on their own with a console upgrade or via the cloud.I think your mind is calling you, it claims you lost it.
Fact: Nintendo needs more adult style games.
Fact: MS needs more family friendly games.
Fact: MS has GamePass
Fact: Nintendo needs GamePass
BIG FACT: These two companies can help each other if they can work together!
Well technically there’s already achievements on the Xbox side for some of their games on switch. Specifically minecraft (when you log into your Xbox account, you’ll get achievements for ‘Minecraft for Switch’ as a separate game from Minecraft for Xbox which is actually kinda cool)I don't see xbox gamepass as well, commercially it might be too scary for Nintendo. I am trying to think what makes sense honestly and isn't just a xbox character in switch.
What about some additional support for xbox integration like achievements, cloud saves and chat?
Just worded poorly, Microsoft own the Ori IP, not the studio.
Moon Studios is now working with 2K games on their next title.
Ori 3 in doubt as developer signs new game deal without Microsoft
The chances of getting a follow-up to Ori And The Will Of The Wisps just dropped dramatically as Moon Studios signs a new multiformat deal.metro.co.uk
Nintendo does not choose to not have adult games on their platform. They get adult games and in general want to have as many games appear on their platforms as possible.Most of the games that are on Xbox, except for halo, gears and forza. Nintendo could get on their own with a console upgrade or via the cloud.
Nintendo does not need Xbox or game pass. Have you been keeping up with Nintendo’s sale numbers? They don’t need anyone at this point to be successful.
Also more adult games aren’t on their console because they choose not to have them but they could get more of those games if they wanted because publishers would definitely love to tap into the Nintendo switch’s massive install base.
Like I said in my previous post, Xbox has a lot more to gain in this partnership than Nintendo. Xbox’s main issue is their lack of solid first party games and imo that is what’s holding them back and also game pass to an extent. Obviously, MS is working to fix that issue with the recent acquisitions but I don’t see what value Nintendo could really get from Xbox.
Also I don’t see game pass happening on the switch because Nintendo would fear game pass would take sells and money away from them. It just doesn’t make sense for them to do that so I doubt that would happen.
I think that's another theory that one Xbox fan had that others just ran with as fact. Happens often with Xbox rumors.
That theory became pretty unrealistic once Cuphead went to PlayStation.
This will be nothing (some random game) or Megaton.
A 7yr partnership, all games on both systems.......
Nintendo sells games to next gen players, ms gets Nintendo games, ms gets games on handheld.......win win win. Ms agrees no handheld for the 10 yrs, Nintendo retains its autonomy. This would shake things up eh?
Putting rare replay on the switch is "broadening the concept of gaming"? Jesus christ...While SCE is building walls and betting on themselves, their competitors are joining hands and broadening the concept of gaming.
