I don’t think HFR would do great at 30fps so I doubt that the switch is a good fit for it.

 

[Woopah]

I think they have only got Ori and the Blind Forest so far (not even Ori and the Will of the Wisps), and that too on the insistent request of Moon Studios, no?

Both Ori games are on Switch, and Nintendo also thanked "our friends at Microsoft" when Cuphead came to Switch. Obviously there's the Minecraft stuff as well.

I haven’t seen those avatars in a long time, lol. Pretty accurate grouping of haters. Just missing the bro with the Adam Sadler pic.

I'm not a hater i'm an avenger

I don’t think the game is that demanding. It will probably run at 60 fps at a lower resolution.

And Cuphead.

 

[LakeOf9]

Is Switch getting a version of GP? Or is the confirmation they aren’t requiring a GP option to release their games on a competitor platform anymore?

They’ve already released multiple first party games on Switch without Game Pass

 

[Woopah]

And Cuphead.

My post mentions Cuphead

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 2nd Ori game launching on Switch. My bad.

But Cuphead and Minecraft are also on PlayStation. So only the 2 Ori games are on Nintendo, and that's not "plenty of Microsoft games are on Nintendo." It's far from the norm for Xbox to port its games on Nintendo.

In fact, Moon Studios has made it clear multiple times that it was them that wanted to make the game multiplatform. And exclusivity was one of the big reasons why the fallout between Moon and Xbox happened.

Good little title.

Hope more people get to enjoy it. Hope it comes to all platforms.

Quake, Quake 2, Minecraft Dungeons and Goldeneye?

Slowly but surely going down the river of 3rd Party publishing ..

The posters original claim was "Switch has received a few Microsoft published games" which i would say is true.

Maybe it is Tango Gameworks pushing for Hi-Fi Rush on Switch, just like Moon Studios and Ori.

 

[Astray]

Both decisions are at least partially up to Microsoft, but Tango Softworks is a wholly-owned Microsoft subsidiary, whatever decision they make will have likely started at the upper echelons of Microsoft Gaming.

It works have to be approved by the higher ups, but it could have been Tango that first pitched it.

Wait a second. @Tacitus_killgore17 has 0 post? I always see them laughing at everything not positive regarding Sony and liking everything for Sony or against other platforms. Could have sworn I've seen them post at least once.

Technically a switch thread, biatch

 

[Deerock71]

If they tailor it for the Switch the way they made Ori, this will likely shock people.

 

[Sanepar]

Makes a lot of sense. Smart move. Ms should allow all their games on Switch 2.

The Avengers is such a funny name lol. I think it will stick.

[systemr123]

I’m a little surprised / shocked / annoyed that MS have ported the title in question.

If everyone plays, we all win

 

[Punished Miku]

I guess you can be in the Young Avengers.

Isn't it an Era thing? There are people there with an Avenger tag for some reason.

Quake, Quake 2, Minecraft Dungeons and Goldeneye?

All are on PlayStation too. Nintendo is a stakeholder in Goldeneye.

MS told us they’re going third party, it’s just some people chose not to listen. The dawning realisation of Xbox fans that it’s actually happening is going to lead to much amusement this year.

It's this weird denial in the face of increasing evidence that amazes me.

Microsoft paid dozens of billions on acquiring devs and publishing houses that were valued primarily on their strengths in multi-platform-driven revenue, they NEED to make ROI happen and fucking fast because shit like "accountability margins" and "MAUs" can only take you so far.

You clearly didn’t listen to the FTC Microsoft court case. Satya Nadella, Microsoft chairman and CEO:

"If it was up to me, I would love to get rid of the entire sort of exclusives on consoles. And you know what? It is up to me. So that’s exactly what I’m gunna do bitches. Brap brap’

Switch is not new though, they've put multiple games there already. Both Ori games are there, with very good ports mind you.

Well I guess you not only did not listen to him, you also did not read the transcript

 

[demigod]

Sales don’t matter……..until Nadella saw the receipts on the games flopping.

S SneakersSO and S StealthGoblin redeemed. Too bad the latter was permed.

Do you think Insomniac will get Sweet Baby Inc. to help them make a super-woke video game about you?

Thats why they signed cast iron deals to keep Call of Duty and Overwatch on all platforms, and pledged to bring COD to Switch (2)
That had nothing to do with going third party.

You have insider knowledge that hi-fi Rush flopped?

Oh for sure. People are delusional thinking that Xbox is going third party (for some people it is akin religion at this point).

Releasing HF Rush on Switch is an L for sure - optics wise - that could be avoided. But it does not mean that Xbox is becoming third party.
Like Xbox released Ori years ago and nobody died since then (aside PS profit margins). We even reached a point where Schrodinger Xbox is a monopoly while also leaving the console business at the same time.

What's the point of going third party if the games don't sell on Playstation as people only play COD, Fortnite and FIFA there anyway? And Xbox is already releasing games on PC too.
