Halo was not considered for DS. It was an unsolicited pitch from an outside studio that went nowhere.

(RUMOUR) Nintendo and Microsoft are working on big things together
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
I may have missed this, but what exactly is Google rumored to be doing? Just another streaming service?
I really doubt MS's triple-A games come over, but the indies they get behind (ala Ori and Cuphead), and the Rare stuff, maybe.
Goldeneye with cross platform play.
Rare Replay with Nintendo platform only games.

In a long term strategy maybe Nintendo is aware that they won't be able to take the streaming route by themselves. Maybe they are testing the waters for a future "partnership".
Ms is all about multiplatform services and software these days (which is great imo). Xbox as a closed hardware platform does not fit their corporate strategy
This will be ms streaming services/xb live services and ports of some ms-published games on switch
I wont be nintendo software on ms platforms. Ms WANTS to spread it software, nintendont

Found it
What if the other reason MS has been buying studios is because MS is selling Rare to Nintendo.
Doubt it. Sea of Thieves is Xbox' most successful new IP this gen. They're going to want to keep them around.
I don't believe this one bit.
Microsoft could sell back the Banjo Kazooie IP to Nintendo

Think they're going towards getting as many customers as they can across all systems anyway. If you subscribe to xcloud on switch they don't really need to give a shit about you buying an Xbox.
It's a clever way to grow their audience rapidly without directly competing with Sony too much.
Will be the same on mobile and windows 10 I assume.
(If this is in fact what's happening and not just the rare stuff )
I really hope that this is a two-way thing and that we can get Nintendo stuff (big hitters at least) on Xbox. I doubt it (as exclusives are such an incentive to buy Nintendo consoles) but maybe some older stuff? Free money for Nintendo.
Fixed it for you.
And I doubt that too, tbh. KI 2013, Rare Replay and BT 2019 are obvious signs that Xbox is taking Rare's history more seriously after the Kinect era.
I don't doubt that they will eventually get to B-K as well. Maybe Perfect Dark too, if the rumours are to be believed.
Any attempt to resurrect scalebound is a complete waste of resources. The game looked like hot garbage from day one and even Kamiya knows it.
I cant believe their are gamers clammering for it. Like we just got Crackdown 3 and Anthem and people are like "Can we have more shitty games please?"

Dude. You get to have a dragon friend that helps you fight and you can ride. The action and style was straight up Devil May Cry. It looked freaking awesome!!!! Comparing it to games we know turned out poorly is a silly comparison. Both Cd3 and Anthem could've been good. They weren't instantly bad games when they were announced. I can't even with this attitude. Scalebound was something I would've certainly been interested in.
Microsoft is preparing to move the Xbox brand multi platform with GamePass and Xbox Live which is a smart choice since their platform sort of became a "niche" to some this generation.
Switch is quickly coming up in Xbox sales and Sony is completely dominating the home console space with PS4... I assume Microsoft strategy is an hybrid one that involves both hardware and services via multi platform

Triple AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
My initial thought was that this was related to Xbox Live somehow and not necessarily actual games. So would be related to this https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-04-microsoft-plans-xbox-live-for-nintendo-switch-mobile.
It's not like they couldn't do that themselves if they wanted to.
Wow you just hit my nostalgia button.We're getting Clippit back as an assistant to help us with our games.
I won't be surprised there is some type f strong collaboration for Next Gen.
I'm calling it right now. We will have Nintendo games coming to Gamepass and X Cloud.

I actually am not a huge fan of this partnership. I think that apart from creating a better OS, Nintendo has nothing to gain quality and creativity wise from partnering with Microsoft. I'd rather not have Microsoft's lackluster handling of first-party influence Nintendo in any way. If it's just Microsoft putting some games on Switch then sure, but why would they do that when Xbox barely has any first-party games coming out anyway.
I'm not sure what Xbox's game plan is, perhaps they want to put the cloud version of the next-gen console on Switch, with some kind of revenue deal with Nintendo? That would alright, I'd probably pay for that when some of those new acquisitions start to bear fruit.

I can see Xbox games coming to Switch. I can't see vice versa, however.
This sounds pretty promising
Xbox and Switch is a big chunk of my gaming time
Could only lead to good stuff for me

I'd be very doubtful of this collaboration leading to MS influencing Nintendo with their first-party direction (past maybe a bit of crossover content). I think even Nintendo is aware that that area is their strong suit already.
Haha sorry, I'm not trying to spark anyone's rage, I guess you can tell I haven't been impressed with Microsoft's output, and because of that their association with Nintendo does not excite me. Just my point-of-view, I don't disrespect anyone who is happier with them and the idea of them collaborating.
I actually think nintendo is trying to negotiate with Microsoft the use or their xbox live servers and infrastructure.
Microsoft could throw a bone letting nintendo use banjo and other rare stuff. I can only see that.
Nintendo won't let anyone sell their services on switch. They won't make money out of it.

Online infrastructure. Servers, control of hacking, communities, control of data about customers etc.
