If true, how in the hell is the Master Chief Collection going to fit on the Switch? With all the updates and patches it has the thing is huge.

With all the updates and patches it has the thing is huge. Separate downloads and smart compression. Also probably a 64GB Game Card. Switch games are always smaller than their PS4/Xbox One counterparts anyway.

More Xbox titles are coming to Switch this year! Rare Replay is my ultimate (Project) dream, but I'll settle for the two Ori games and Gears of War for now! Let the begging for Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie on Switch begin! Edited March 20, 2019 by Dcubed 1
MindFreak Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Interesting! So Nintendo just buys in on Microsoft's online infrastructure instead of making their own? For select titles, that is.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I think both Ori and Super Lucky's Tale are a lock at this point. Like Cuphead, I've wanted to play them both. I hope some Rare games make it over. The Viva Piñata games deserve to be played by more people and I've always thought those games would resonate more with the Nintendo audience than Microsoft's.
Dcubed Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I get the feeling that we won't be seeing the real big guns until E3... The Halo series coming to Switch and Rare's titles coming back to Nintendo are just too big of an announcement to have outside of E3. Coupled with a potential reveal of Banjo/Kazooie and Joanna Dark in Smash, and a revival of the cancelled Goldeneye Remaster; it would be absolutely industry shaking! That has to be their big ace in the hole for E3 if it's gonna happen this year! Edited March 20, 2019 by Dcubed
Hero-of-Time Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 The bird and bear in Smash would be a glorious thing to behold. Just think of the reveal trailer... 1

The fact that this isn't an insane impossibility anymore makes me so ridiculously happy and excited!! Anything is possible now!! Rare's games and characters can actually come home! 1
Mandalore Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 E3 Nintendo Direct, they announce it all with a "It's coming home" spoof. Please happen. 1
Dcubed Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Shit!! I just realised!! Damon Baker (Nintendo’s former head of western third party relations) recently just left NOA to join Microsoft!! HE’S THEIR MOLE!!! THIS WAS ALL PART OF THEIR PLAN!! 2 1

Just think of the reveal trailer... It would, but I really think it's going to be Minecraft Steve. It just makes more sense sadly, Minecraft is one of the biggest things in gaming, and Banjo... is not. lol
S.C.G Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I'm so hoping it's NOT Minecraft Steve... despite Minecraft's success, Banjo-Kazooie should take the Smash spot. I mean, just imagine the moveset for Banjo-Kazooie! Now imagine the moveset for Steve... It's just no contest. 1

I think you could have a pretty fun moveset with Steve, plus he'll fit right at home with the seventeen sword wielding Fire Emblem characters. 1

Maybe... but I'm still not seeing it and I'm definitely not feeling it. Banjo-Kazooie would just fit in, plus if Microsoft are bringing more games to Switch then... Rare Replay. That has all the Banjo Kazooie games, then it will be time for the real Banjo-Threeie. OK, maybe I'm dreaming there but still, stranger things have happened. 1

LazyBoy Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Does the Microsoft relationship mean we might start seeing some of the Rare IPs back on a Nintendo console? Just imagine how lovely that would be. Perfect Dark remaster on the eshop? Conker in Smash. One can dream. 1

To be fair though, Conker would have quite a diverse selection of items at his disposal thanks to the "context sensitive" button. Everything from an aspirin to an arsenal of weapons. (But yeah, I suppose, no gratuitous amounts of blood in Smash so, it's a no go) Banjo-Kazooie is suddenly sounding like more of a safe bet.

(Assuming Microsoft in Smash happens in the first place) Personally, I hope it's Banjo-Kazooie, another Rare character (such as one of the Battletoads) or nothing. I'd rather there be no representation from Microsoft then get Steve from Minecraft. I know the game is popular but in the grand scheme of videogame history, it's not that significant. (to me anyway) I've played it, had a bit of fun with it, I can see that there's something there but... there are so many other games to be played. I guess I should take the chance to enjoy what I can of Smash online before it's ruined by a DLC character that I don't want. (see you online after Mario Kart) Nah... I really don't think it will happen, if it does then I would seriously have to consider whether I want that bit of dlc despite owning the season pass. Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't really want Minecraft in Smash? (maybe I am, perhaps it's inevitable and something I'll just have to learn to live with) Edited March 21, 2019 by S.C.G

I feel like there's more room for a moveset just from the stuff they do in the two N64 games alone. Plus, let's face it, if Rare were still with Ninty, they would have gotten in back in Brawl. Plus, the N64 is kinda lacking in playable characters in Smash. We have Captain Falcon, Sheik, Young Link, Ganondorf and Villager. It could use a sixth. 1

I really hope you're right, I'd love it to be Banjo-Kazooie. As for the rest... we get three more right? After we get Joker from Persona. Well... I really can't guess, I know we've got bets on in another thread but after Joker was announced, really anything is possible within reason. Just not Steve... or Waluigi... although...
