ZhugeEX:We're going to see another Microsoft / Xbox first game at the IndieWorld Direct on Monday
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Pretty sure Halo on Switch would be direct ports of 360 versions instead of enhanced MCC ones. And I don't think Reach will be part of them.
If it's the engine causing problems similar to RDR1, they'd just remake the whole game for Switch on a different engine. That's not the first time it's happening on Switch. Halo is the only port that's heavily rumored right now, so there has to be something.
Nintendo might not want to put content on XBox.
XGS gets revenue and XBL exposure. Both of which are good for Xbox gamers. If this were a situation where these games were going to Switch INSTEAD of Xbox, I think it would be a valid question.
Ori on Switch would be great. It's an amazing game that as many people as possible should be able to play, not to mention Moon Studios can get a nice financial boost from extra sales on a potential Switch version.
To those people getting their knickers in a twist about "What's the benefit for Xbox gamers?" you could always argue that if Ori on Switch generates a whole new bunch of fans that those people may well end up getting the sequel on an Xbox platform (i highly doubt Ori:WotW is going anywhere other than XB1/Steam for a good while). Or hell, if Microsoft manages to let Nintendo put Xcloud on Switch they could be playing Ori 2 on Switch like that.
Or... you could stop worrying about how every single thing that <insert company here> does needs to always benefit them in some way. Let's be honest. Ori has been out for a while now on both Xbox and PC. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of people who might have gone out and got an Xbox to play Ori would have done that by now. Whereas there is potentially (going by Cuphead's continued success) a very large amount of Switch gamers who would love to play Ori but have no intention of getting it on Xbox or PC so in my eyes it's a no-brainer.

That classic little indie game, Halo
Just noticed one of the "HOT" games was confirmed to be Superhot
Could the other be Hotline Miami? It's crazy that game isn't on the system already. Hopefully a double pack with the sequel if they do bring it

That doesn't change what they said. It's about the publisher not the developer.
Simogo teased Sayonara Wild Hearts icon some time ago.
It's either getting shadow dropped or released very soon after.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking and why I imagine the 360 was quietly cancelled.
I feel like there will be some scaling back, but hopefully they don't drop to 30fps or scale back the visuals too much. It's a gorgeous game and to have it on the go would br a dream come true.
I'm sure they'll get the game running on it and I'm excited to see it on there, but they'll have to scale things back.
Hopefully they retain the 60fps, which is an absolute must.
you should get used to it by now, it's in every nintendo thread.
Why would he want to violate the Nintendo rules? Any "leak" is unauthorised, the only difference is currently NPD are more likely to sue you for it. Besides he gives out sales info a lot anyway even NPD stuff soooo
360p 10fps confirmed.
after all, ori is such a graphical showcase...
We don't know. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But we've already had this concern about the last 100 reasonably exciting 3rd party ports so why would it not be here also?
Welcome to Era 3rd party on Nintendo threads basically I guess.
The PS4 doesn't do Bloodborne justice in the framerate department.
Did he or his workplace sign an agreement that he would not mention that an unspecified game is going to be announced on a product showcase?
NPD has a very strict agreement for those who receive their data.
if you don't have an NDA you are not obliged to keep anything under wraps, there are no "rules"
he probably has signed an NDA for NPD stuff considering he is a sales analyst
He still gives up bits of data from the NPD that they don't disclose (like fire emblem three houses numbers).
Also its was a tongue in cheek joke so this entire conversation is pointless lol Zhuge can do whatever he wants its all fine by me
They won't have to scale anything back. The game runs on a toaster.
Nintendo would prefer to go out of business before allowing a Smash port lol
Wow, I had no idea this rumor was still afloat.Should be noted that the core of the Halo rumors is King Zell.
He doubled down on it shortly after E3.
Technically, he never specifically said it was MCC, but it's easy to infer he's referring to some kind of Halo game, considering he compared it to "seeing Mario in a PlayStation console".
However, other guys have corroborated it being MCC, from other guys like Sabi and ccieag, a user here who's friends with someone at MS. (As you can see, the guy also said he heard Ori was coming to Switch). More recently, a user here named Zippo said that he heard from a source he trusted very much that MCC will be announced for Switch by the end of the year.
