Dunno about MCC. The development is already struggling with PC, I have a hard time seeing it coming to switch anytime soon.
Got ya covered (get it):
I'm SO happy with this relationship. Bring on ALL of MS's Japanese and family-oriented IPs to Switch. Match made in heaven! :D
Well no, Rare Replay as is isn't happening. I think if it does it'll probably include a somewhat different lineup of emulated titles.
5 bucks says a switch port of Banjo Kazooie will wildly outsell Rare Replay. selling well is pretty much a given for the BK games. an N64 collection is really what most nintendo fans want. anything else is a bonus
I think the best route for Rare Replay on Switch would be working with Nintendo directly and also including some of their owned titles in the collection (DKC1-3, DKR, DK64, maybe SFA). They could also just focus on Nintendo platforms (NES, SNES, N64, GB/GBA) for the other titles and it'd be a good way to differentiate from the Xbox collection while keeping the cost down by just having several platforms to work on (which NERD could maybe even give them native emulators for).
I mean, they could still always do a dedicated Banjo Kazooie Collection or Viva Pinata Collection on Switch as well and those would do great. I think it's bit odd none of the DKC titles are on NSO yet too.
To get absolutely destroyed in sales by the Switch and receive little to no support?
I agree with your point here but use a better example. MS didn't put Cuphead on Switch.
I think the goldeneye dream is dead because of the IP rights. Not that it's difficult to get but is it worth it since they'll lose it eventually?
Microsoft did not publish it though, Studio MDHR did. The 30% cut would come from them, not MS.
I know this. I was referring to who Nintendo would be taking the 30% cut from (i.e. the Publisher).
Console war will just be replaced by the ecosystem war: see Android and iOS. Google and Apple have some of their apps on the competing OS, but they still compete over the services and ecosystem, which end up playing better on their own, individual platforms. It's going to be the same with console makers and their hardware. Especially since they're going actually competing with mobile OS's given that the traditional gaming experience is more and more possible on these devices each year.
If I recall correctly, the DS version of Age was turn based. Completely different game.
Microsoft said : Yes let's do that.
Well, you can play Minecraft: Story Mode on Netflix (actually it's the only platform where you can play it at this time unless you bought it before it was pulled from the stores)
While technically Switch could run it being a 360 game, it was pulled about 2yr ago from the store, and if they haven't taken the time to renegociate the licenses so they can sell it again (even though they took the time to update it for the X) I don't think it's very likely they'll do it for a port.
