No because right now they're struggling to get the damn thing to run at all on the Xbox One alone.
The RAM requirements are beyond what the Switch has. And as for actual Storage, the MCC is way beyond what can be compressed into a 32gb cart.
The only way the MCC's games would be technically feasible on Switch is as separate packages instead of a proper unified launcher. Which defeats the purpose.
It's easier to make drive-by posts.When speaking of the "technical impossibility" of getting them running on the switch I think ya'll need to step back and really look at what has and continues to get brought to the switch.
Where's the audience though? Name some shooters that sold well on the platform.Lol, Halo isn't some random shooter people never heard of before.
Individual games that don't amount to 80GB on 8 engines.When speaking of the "technical impossibility" of getting them running on the switch I think ya'll need to step back and really look at what has and continues to get brought to the switch.

Geometry Wars is Activision-owned nowadays I believe, unless they sold it off after closing Bizarre.Halo MCC, Rare Replay & Geometry Wars will probably end up on the system at one point (probably in reverse order of what I listed) but I don't expect much beyond that in terms of the back catalogue. Probably just smaller games like Ori, a year after release.

They cant even get it working on Xbox One/PC atm, no way 343 are good enough to get it to work on Switch if they cant even manage those ones.
I believe it's more the Xbox version is giving pains with Reach on top of it, Xbox One only has about 5.5-6 gigs of memory total, that can go fast these days, which makes me think Switch is out of the question.343i has a hard time getting all 8 engines running on PC, and file sizes are through the roof. No way is a Switch port coming.
They could try to port a game at a time, like Capcom does.

I mean I guess, but I'd rather 343i not waste time trying to port over one of their old games when they've got folks on MCC.Ok so the question is - instead of the MCC, would something like Halo remastered be a likely possibility on the console instead?
No one says that 343i would have to port the games.I mean I guess, but I'd rather 343i not waste time trying to port over one of their old games when they've got folks on MCC.
I honestly wouldn't mind making Halo DS a reality haha. But it's either MCC or bust imo
Do I think it would be awesome? Sure, one of the craziest and coolest announcements in the history of gaming. From a business and PR perspective, would a move like that be good for everyone? Surely. Technically though, I absolutely cannot imagine that it is feasible.
The MCC is nearly 100 GB, runs on eleven different engines and 343 are struggling to get the Reach remaster in working order because they've exceeded the memory limit on the base Xbox One hardware. How they could possibly get any of that operational on the Switch is beyond me and likely beyond the realm of possibility. They could look into releasing each game piecemeal without the MCC wrapper holding them all together in one game file but again, I just don't imagine that happening.
Also, business isn't a something for nothing game. Is Nintendo going to throw Super Mario Odyssey on Xbox One? Breath of the Wild getting a Windows 10 release? If not, why give away the keys to the kingdom with nothing coming back to Microsoft?
Either Halo remastered/Halo 2 or 3 would be insanely good for me. Imagine being able to play them on the go. And even if its not the MCC, having the first entry would leave the door for further ports.I mean I guess, but I'd rather 343i not waste time trying to port over one of their old games when they've got folks on MCC.
