Why do the 360 ports when you can just emulate the N64 versions? Banjo's better saved for Replay imo, unless you mean Nuts & Bolts which not many want. Actually a Viva Pinata 1&2 release would probably make more sense in terms of 360 to Switch ports but in any case we won't be seeing any Rare games at an Indie event. Think more along the lines of Ori or Below.
I've lost the count of the times I have purchased this game. I guess it's time to play Ori in portable mode.
Bruh, this is embarrassing. You're not owed anything as an Xbox gamer because an older Xbox game was ported to another console.
If there's anything in this for Microsoft, I would assume that Microsoft is trying to get Nintendo to eventually allow their services on their system.
If my theory holds true there's not anything in it for Xbox users, but for Microsoft it's an investment for Gamepass and xCloud
Not really confident about any of this, though
Ori is the best Metroidvania this gen. Smart move. Increase mindshare for Ori before Ori 2 on Game Pass. Would be a great game to take on the go. Thinking about triple dipping.
There will never be Nintendo games/services on Xbox platforms.
It's not a trade where if Xbox gives something, Nintendo has to as well. It's a one way road, with Xbox delivering his content to a non concurrent platform.

Plus it increases the fanbase for Ori as an IP, even beyond video games.
I guess Ori? Not really indie but idk.
I know it won't be Halo related but the idea of Halo theme playing in a Nintendo presentation, especially if it was Smash Bros, gives me chills just thinking about it

It's not complicated. Microsoft is trying to turn XBox into a digital brand where people can play their games no matter the hardware brand. It will be a long time before they stop focusing on hardware though.
Not to mention, it would make it so that costs would only be on development and looking after game pass/xCloud as opposed to constant hardware R&D with each new generation.
Not really sad, there wasn't any reason to leak so much stuff
But considering what happened to the previous leaker, this time Zhuge was probably asked to do it to hype the event
The thing about leaks is that sometimes there's the potential for being wrong or if plans changed. In which case, the person unnecessarily got people hyped over nothing. If I had a dollar for every time that happened. I'd be a millionaire.
I'm sorry, people being upset that Zhuge confirms that a long rumored game (Ori has been rumored for a long time) will be at the Direct, thereby "spoiling" it is actually down right pathetic.
Keep the Microsoft deal going! Minecraft Dungeons, Rare Replay, Cuphead DLC, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps are probably going to come by the end of next year so that should be great.
You're getting shouted down a lot but I do think Nintendo exploring other ecosystems in limited ways (like they are iOS and Android) might not be such a bad move. I think a good example would be opening up NSO to other friendly platforms (Windows/Steam, Xbox, Android/Shield, etc) and delivering native versions of things like the NES app and Tetris 99 that could feature crossplay/progression. This could expand their subscriber base (major revenue driver) beyond their own hardware and maybe even entice users in other ecosystems to pick up a Switch.
No Xbox isn't owed anything, this isn't a trade and Microsoft does have different end goals in gaming versus Nintendo. But I do think Nintendo exploring a bit more could be beneficial to both companies and could be done in ways that don't threaten Nintendo's own 1st party hardware driving capabilities.
Did you care when Ori went to Steam? Or when XBOX started putting all their first party games on PC?
MS want to make more money from selling their games elsewhere. Nintendo doesn't feel like they need to do that since their games sell a ton anyway usually, and their first-party games are a massive reason for people to buy their consoles. Microsoft as a company doesn't need console sales anywhere near as much as Nintendo does.
Oh, I didn't realize this was the season finale to a hotly anticipated show where a tweet setting expectations, without even so much as giving away hard dates, invited controversy.
Sad, pathetic, pick your adjective.
I would rather say that the inability to understand other human beings is what is pathetic here..
I understand quite well. Somebody is upset that a commercial targeted towards them had slight vague information revealed about it before the commercial could air.
MCC on Switch would be more believable if it was an easy port, but it's not. It's not just BC titles either since H2A is on there.
Unless you mean xCloud will power all of this so native ports aren't required to carry over on Nintendo platforms due to no possible BC.
There's always going to be that R&D because the console will be the backbone of xCloud until the R&D of consumer hardware isn't worth it, but that won't happen for decades to come if even in some of our life times (streaming will take over soon, but local hardware will still be here because it will still make money). When it happens, MS won't the only one to do that though.

Xbox gamers don't benefit. Neither do ps gamers. Nor pc gamers. So what?
Halo will never go to a console other than Xbox (unless there's a Game Pass/Xbox Cloud application available).
Ori and the Blind Forest is 2nd party (and ~4 years old). Moon Studios can make some money while XGS widens the IP fan base for the upcoming (Xbox ecosystem exclusive) sequel.
It's a win-win.

I love SUPERHOT. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
I just don't understand how getting info on new products/release dates as early as possible is a bad thing lol. Fake leaks and misinformation? Totally get that, but otherwise I don't get the anger toward leaks regarding new stuff if they're legit.
"Second party" isn't a real term. Ori's owned by Microsoft, which makes it a first party game.
I just finished it on PC (through XGP) and I looooved it. If I had played it in 2016 it would've cleared my top 5 easily.
Ori is a MS IP developed by a non first-party studio. Regardless, not debating anything further.
As a Xbox user I don't need anything in return
Besides a 4k Mario game
If it means people on switch are happy then cool.

Really impressed that Hotline Miami 1+2 aren't on the Switch yet. I've played thru 'em both dozens of times on my Vita but you'd've thought that Devolver would've jumped on and brought 'em over like within the Switch's first year.
Wonder when Dennaton are gonna reveal their next game officially (Sector X). I know they teased it at E3 but I'm wondering if they're ready to reveal, this would be a good place for it.

Wait... Will Ori and Halo be a third party game in the eyes of Nintendo?
This kind of leak is really ok to me. What bothers me is like the redacted leak, and all the superior typical Era user guessing that follows
