[Rumour] Jeuxvideo.com : Forza, Halo or Gears coming to Switch

I can see MS playing a timed exclusive game when it comes to gamepass and xcloud outside their own hardware so I am not so sure Switch only gamers will get everything day one or everything 100%
If they don't play favorites it would be a killer app
I already was thinking of buying a Switch for Alliance 3, MS gives me Gears on the go and it's a very very likely buy.
Yeah that's true. I assumed if it's a game pass thing, then every first party Microsoft game would be available as it is on the the service already. I can't wait to see if all this comes true! What a crazy game changer.
This is nuts, I freakin' love it. It's a brilliant move on MS' part to help get their games more exposure in the Japanese market, and a great bonus for Nintendo.
Also it's a bummer if MS and Nintendo were planning on trying to keep this under-wraps until E3. Having this leak this far in advance has got to be a pain in the ass XD

If this indeed comes to fruition, I can definitely see the smaller games like Ori, Cuphead, Killer Instict, and Sea of Thieves be offered for switch play and the rest of the Game Pass titles PC only. They are too huge GBwise for the switch and demand too much horsepower non-withstanding Doom and Wolfenstein which were dedicated retail releases. I don't know about stand alone Gears of War but I can dream.
What would Nintendo give up? The Nintendo Classics online app from Switch. They'll most likely let Xbox and PC gamers sign up $20 a year for NES games and the rumored SNES games plus Tetris 99. No way do any Nintendo current games come out on Xbox but Super Mario Bros 3? Yes, this totally happens if the rumors come true. Microsoft gets people to jump in their ecosystem with Game Pass and Nintendo devours the nostalgic gamers who for $20 a year can get NES games and more might say "Hey, I wonder how the new Zelda plays?" and get their Switch as a second system. Easy advertising and conversions for both.

I agree.
I face palm when I still see people posting stuff like.
"Why do I need to buy an Xbox I've got a PC etc"m as if they'd figured out some great revelation
Like you said MS doesn't care where you play. Are you in their ecosystem? Yes. then they have your money and engagement.
I wonder how they would handle Rare Replay, assuming it was one of those natively ported games. Maybe port everything up to the N64 games and have Kameo/Banjo N&B, etc streamed?
Wonder if this means stuff like Voodoo Vince or Blinx is on the table?

Oh man, I completely forgot about this, lol. He could be so ruthless. It's definitely funny to look back at now, but I definitely don't miss those days of intense bitter rivalries both in the offices and on the playgrounds.
Voodoo Vince got a HD Remaster, right? its seem totally possible for me
Damn. It looks like all those perfect for the Switch port begging people might be having the last laugh after all. I got Cuphead already on PC but i'll double dip for this single joycon local multiplayer (with lots of dying). These are some scary sounding rumors though. Microsoft is doing some weird shit right now lol. It makes sense because of this cloud thing, but it just sounds like its too much.
That said if you think about it, if everyone ends up buying game pass when they normally wouldn't have bought anything Xbox at all and it reaches a way wider audience w/ phones and all consoles, in theory, it would produce a lot of money. Like the Netflix of videogames kind of deal I guess.

Microsoft is going all-in on the future of gaming. Let's just hope they weren't too early again.
Halo MCC on Switch will sell gangbusters.
And I'm not surprised at all we might see Halo on a Nintendo Console... I mean...
Also, if I expect a game from Switch on Xbox One as exchange... BOTW or Smash.

Yeah. They are definately trying to do some wild future stuff. It went too far on the Xbox One, but I think if they keep the core essentials while just adding a bunch of features instead of taking them away it'll end up a lot better. If anything, recently their service side of thing has been the best part about the Xbox One with the game pass and backward compatibility. Some really cool features w/ the Xbox app also help (I can stream my Switch with my Xbox and that's awesome lol).

I was going to say you're crazy, but with everything we heard today maybe crazy is the new normal :)
if the rumor is true, they are literally putting softwares on Nintendo system, as a third party
I HIGHLY doubt that Nintendo would give MS one of their games
Nintendo NEEDS their exclusive games to sell the Switch
MS doesn't because there are other reasons to buy an Xbox aside exclusives. Pretty much all 3rd party support, features, controller, most powerful hardware etc
If Nintendo gives Xbox a game in return, I would expect it to be a remake or remaster of some beloved old game of theirs like Link's Awakening or Metroid Prime Trilogy, not a brand-new exclusive. Anything else would be too much.

ERA going down garanteed if they announce that during the E3 press conference.
Doubt it's either of those. (Doubt its any at all) Splatoon 2 though! I wouldn't mind seeing! The console war Splatfests would be something to behold.
Imagine Nintendo putting some of their older games on GamePass and being able to play them on PC, if not Xbox...
Doubtful. Nintendo still has to pay their bills and make money selling video game consoles, they're not in a position to weaken their very own core business.
MS doesn't give a fuck because they're more interested in winning the streaming/war for the cloud, Nintendo has no such ambitions.
MS probably had to bend hard just to get Nintendo to allow XB branded streaming on the Switch alone, I doubt that negotiation was easy, asking for Nintendo games likely would've be a complete non-starter.
Yup this would be great for both systems. Make it happen Nintendo/MS.
Let them have their moment. They never passed or had a business class in high school or college, let them have this.
I mean tbh, out of all the Nintendo exclusives to maybe go multiplat I could it see it being smash. Has a lot of third party characters as it is, and imagine getting jago, arbiter and chief (arbiter can be a shadow character), banjo, and conker in smash. That would be the best selling thing to ever exist in the universe. It'd sell more than water. In reality though I think people are sleeping on the MS doing all the leg work and Nintendo doing nothing in this partnership. Gotta realize the Wii U almost bankrupted them, im sure something from them will end up aiding Xbox or something. I honestly think they'll help Nintendo with their online and their own streaming service, so maybe we can see legacy games like wind waker on a streaming service. That's just my prediction but hey, we're in a era where 2 of the big 3 are teaming up, at this point anything's possible.
Fair enough then. I remember when onlive was announced and the idea blew my mind. Internet speeds just werent quite ready. It will be interesting if this true.
Wow, at this point I just need E3 to be a wedding with Phil and Doug Bowser walking down the stage together and then kissing which will confirm Banjo Threeie for Switch and Xbox One/Xbox 4,
If Nintendo wanted to put their games on other platforms they would have, no one would say no to Nintendo games on their platform.
We're a living in a timeline where Microsoft, Apple, and Nintendo get along with each other but not with Sony.
They're not going to give them anything. Idk why this is an expectation. This a business move for MS to expand their brand. If they were to give anything to MS it'd only be Switch Online with NES/SNES games.
Splatoon 3 on xbox and nintendo could be something else..
I can't fucking wait for someone to officially talk about this partnership!!

It ends with a "just one more thing" being Breath of the Wild on Xbox One.
The only games that have been reported as getting native ports are Ori and the Blind Forest and Cuphead. Everything else is streaming or completely up in the air (the 3 series mentioned in the title).
Users data and the possibility to dominate the service/cloud race already which is a lot more than some random game.
Makes me wonder though...do you guys think we'll be getting some Xbox Game Pass-ish service from Nintendo on Xbox? Maybe some Ninty games on Xbox?
Other than that, if this turns out to be true, I wouldn't be surprised if MS's characters begin popping up in some Nintendo franchises, such as Smash and the like.

If people think steam sales was devaluing games just wait until Gamepass and streaming catches on. After people get used to getting piles of games for a fixed sub most are never gonna want to pay 60$ for a game again.
Sigh, there's potentially a very dark future ahead for the gaming industry for those of us who care about ownership and preserving games.
