*Nintendo Direct Starts*
*We open on a still frame of Samus fighting Ridley. It slowly zooms out to reveal that the two are models in a diorama, fighting in a massive battle amongst the ruins of a mysterious world.*
*This starts playing as we see shots of other models battling it out in the diorama. Mario is fighting a horde of Bowser's Minions. DK is fighting K-Rool. Link and Zelda are fighting Ganandorf. Kirby is fighting DDD. Isabelle is doing some secretary work. Etc.*
*The music comes to a crescendo and, as it reaches its apex, a shot of Bowser, standing triumphant over the Battlefield over. He's holding something... or someone*
*Everything goes silent and the camera slowly pans across to reveal what he's holding*

*The words "Halo X Super Smash Bros" appear*
*A black screen for a few moments*
*The words "Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming soon to Nintendo Switch" appear*

I don't feel that this "almost impossible thing" is related to any first-party title from Sony or MS...
Well the analogy Zell made was a first-party Nintendo IP on Playstation. It's possible that the analogy was meant to just emphasize just how "impossible" this thing is, but it's not unreasonable to think it's a hint about it involving a first-party title from Sony or, more realistically, Microsoft.
Besides, what's more impossible than first-party exclusives crossing over to other platforms? Something like the rumored Scalebound revival would certainly make waves, but I don't think it's on the same tier of unbelievability as Mario on Playstation/Halo on Switch due to the fact that Platinum is a 3rd party studio.
Final Fantasy is third party though. My assumption was that it's an IP belonging to Microsoft or Sony that will be on the Switch. No way in hell would Sony do that, at least Microsoft would nowadays with certain titles (Ori and Cuphead for example) Neither of those games coming to Switch would surprise me. Zell is making this seem HUGE though. Halo is actually a good guess considering how it brings people together, which is the main point of the Switch's marketing. Now, if it IS Halo, the big question is why would Microsoft do this? My best guess is that Microsoft have become absolute madlads and are trying to get Halo as much attention as possible to win over people to swim in Game Pass profits for the next several years because they care more about subscription revenue than hardware profits, at least so it seems like. My second best guess is Gears on Switch.

Mario and Luigi being held captive by him is such a nice touch.
What if there was a Dark Souls character with a death mechanic. Like when they died, there would be an imprint left on the stage, and if they were able to get back to it within a certain amount of time after respawning, they would get a buff of some kind.
Edit: oops i meant to post this in the Smash DLC thread.

ff7R was kinda exclusive to ps, the ff series in general was exclusive to ps for a long time. It would also be huge if ff7R was on switch
This would match with what he said it being something that was impossible before but is no longer
I think Zell's "it wasn't possible a few years ago" quip may say more than intended or I may be completely off base.
But stuff like exclusives were never possible before, but the wording seems to imply its things that wasn't possible a few years ago because Nintendo was in a terrible place with a poorly received hardware that wasn't even competitive.

Maybe the "few years ago" is referring to how Phil Spencer wasn't head of Xbox yet, so Microsoft wasn't shifting Xbox to a future without exclusives back then.
that wouldn't change.
Any agreement they did would be for the actual release of the game. Unless sony is dumb, which they're not.
This is why im leery of going for the most obvious, we've been wrong so many times before by going with the obvious. When it comes to interpreting leaks and hints
What im really saying is, maybe it's not Microsoft related.
Yeah quite possible, especially since the de facto speculation is Halo or something Microsoft.

Yeah, probably, like how the excitement over big third party announcements in March has dissipated mostly.
I don't think it'll be underwhelming. I think it'll be great because it'll be Master Chief Collection. There will be lots of joy and celebration.
Probably. People set their expectations sky high when it comes to anything Nintendo related.
Yup. As someone who couldn't be less interested in anime games it's been quite underwhelming. Sniper games aren't a huge get either.
Honestly I hope there is more to these rumoured March games than anime games or small JRPGs.
Sonic failed us (as usual), so I'm pinning my hopes on PAX East for announcements that are more appealing to me. Persona 5 would be neat, though.
We're getting a new Sonic game...eventually. They just straight up pulled a Pokemon Company move and said "yeah, you'll see it someday."
Def not buying that Yoshi game there's a clear divide between style and just overly kiddy - but I know it has its market and that's fine!
I'm looking forward to FFX and Resident Evils to be honest as that's what looks like will tide me over.
I'm still playing smash with my kids but I feel like I'm smashed out...

I don't mind the aesthetic, but the music bugs me so much.
To be honest with you everything bothers me about it...it just seems so uninspired.
My guess from what king said is it will be halo. But not a collection but a new game. I bet it's a halo battle royal. And the only way for them to get a big enough user base without Sony is to have it on the switch as well.
:(
People got me hyped for the possibility of a switch MH and you just kill that hype.
Halo doesn't net need Switch to boost the playerbase. Xbox and PC alone would be enough.
i was talking about the release date not about MH coming to the Switch
I wonder whether GDC will have anything interesting. Microsoft removed any mention of Switch from their GDC talk description, and they already announced Xbox Live for mobile and made a non-statement for Switch, so we probably shouldn't expect any Microsoft X Nintendo news just yet. Ark for Switch (horrible port btw) was announced at GDC last year.
Ah yes. Many people indeed do like that sort of stuff.
It's funny how a single sentence from King Zell can give you 10k upvotes and 1500 comments on reddit.
I get where the Halo guesses come from but honestly, ports of previous gen games, no matter how symbolic they may be, are far from exciting in my opinion. I hope it's something else. Something new.
I'm not sure if this is off-topic but has this been discussed before: http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/...software_is_making_a_game_for_nintendo_switch
The link is a post on Nintendo Life which references an interview with a developer from From Soft in 2018 on Korean forum "dcinside". It says that they are developing a game for Nintendo Switch currently (this could just be talking about Dark Souls Remastered and I can't read Korean so I'm trusting whatever the poster is "translating").
