Nintendo and Microsoft's relationship is strong, how far do you think it could go?

That is the kind of thing that would break Era and it would hilarious.
But it's obvious that these things aren't in the same league, right? SquareEnix isn't making a competing console, nor was Konami. People might associate those characters with a console, but the rights aren't with the console holder.
Is Steve from Minecraft off the table for Smash or something? Banjo would be cool and all, but I think that having a Minecraft character in Smash would be preferable over Banjo.
Banjo-Kazooie was the tenth best selling N64 game ever with over 3.5 million copies sold
definitely not big enough
how people can say this when there was a Switch on the 2017 microsoft e3 presentation??
i obivoulsy dont think there would be shared exclusives, but come one, there is a relationship here
I honestly don't see were the "love" is coming from.
Ubi and Nintendo? total lovebirds.
Capcom and Sony? totally.
Late 90s Square Enix and Sony? get a room.
But Nintendo and Microsoft? I mean, sure there are cross platform games but that's it haha.
It's more like the devs wanted crossplay and they allowed it.

Why is everyone still posting? This thread was over after the first reply.
Yeah, I can only think to make crude sex jokes, except none of them are funny.
Maybe they'll share a hotel room at E3.

I don't remember when they showed it, was it at the minecraft segment?
It would be a one way relationship.. MS providing online support and their games, I do not see in any way Nintendo releasing games on the Xbox platform but it would be awesome.
Little things like Banjo in Smash and hopefully.. Rare Replay on the switch would be a damn good first few steps. MS has said they are not worried about where you play their content.. so step it up Phil.. start with the Rare Replay.. easy to pull off. Do it will full achievements and support.

I think it will go as far as maybe a Microsoft character appearing in Smash (If Nintendo even wants that) and maybe a few Rare games on the N64 Classic.
With all of this cross-play between the two, I feel like a Killer Instinct Switch port would be possible. I would probably cry if Banjo actually got into Smash Bros.
Banjo is in Smash and all those Rare games are coming to the N64 classic. Hold on to your butts everybody!!!!!!
I'm doubtful of this. Though I suppose Microsoft can release games on Switch like any 3rd party publisher while Nintendo take their usual percentage (see Minecraft).
But Game Pass on Switch? Hundreds or games to play on Switch without having to buy any software. I don't see an incentive there for Nintendo unless they got a significant chunk of the subscription AND (more importantly) microtransaction revenue. And in that case I don't think it makes financial sense for Microsoft.
If MS has any sense they'll release the old rare games on the switch (either as rare replay or individually) rare cost them a hell of a lot of money that I'd be very surprised if they've come close to effectively paying off yet and those games are basically sitting doing nothing now and hardly add any value to the Xbox brand proposition but could make a tonne of money on switch
Most of the games on Game Pass are not on Switch so that shouldn't be a problem.
Totally.. its a pipe dream on many levels... but I want to dream right before E3 :)
They won't do more than crossplay. No reason for these companies to give their exclusives to their competitors.
Minecraft is a completely separate thing, it's as "Xbox" as the Sony Unties games published on Switch are Playstation games. No one says Nintendo will get The Last of Us because Sony Music published Tiny Wars for Switch.

The next step will be Microsoft announcing their purchase of the Kirby IP at E3. This is something Microsoft has been planning for ages. This is also why some may believe Kirby Star Allies felt rushed. Nintendo had to get it out before ownership of the IP turned. HAL and Sakurai are rumored to have been a part of the deal too, which is why we haven't heard much about who's making Smash.
YupRemember :
Halo DS was pitched and in a playable state too even though it didn't happen
