Switch gets no AAA third party support anyway now they gets a 10 year deal for COD
How does this affect Nintendos in the longs run my friends?

I bet CoD on the switch successor will do good numbers. That is gonna be the most hype console launch ever and will be a total shitshow of scalpers and wario64 notifications.

I worked at the Nintendo office's as a plumber and these were posted right above the urinals. I don't know why but they pay plumbers surprisingly well there.

No but a red or green hat is mandatory.

They aren't getting COD, that was just to get the deal pushed through.

Nothing. Nintendo's biggest appeal is their first party titles. You don't buy a Switch to play CoD. And gaming doesn't revolve around CoD.
If Sony decides they need do an acquisition like Square-Enix or Capcom then it can affect Nintendo. I've seen Nintendo Directs sometimes that seemed to be mostly Square-Enix's AA lineup.
I'd suggest Nintendo needs to suspend dividend payments and balloon their cash reserves so they can defend themselves strategically if Sony goes that route. Though I've long felt Nintendo needed to do that anyway since they're a company that can go from feast (Wii) to famine (Wii U), and extra cash reserves can see them through to better times.
Sometimes just a statement from a company that they'd put in a competing offer is enough to persuade the competition to go another route, since it would mean the premium over market value to acquire a company wouldn't be worth it anymore.

Capcom only gives Switch old games cepts for MonHun which is multiplats Square gives them niches rpgs likes octopath its not a big difference my friends but lets hooope nobody buys Capcom that will ruin the greatest third parties of all times
Nintendo has around the same amount of cash on hand as the entirety of Sony. Money isn't an issue. Nintendo's focus on first party development and its own IP hold back major acquisitions

No but there's a ghost hat that turns you into whatever you throw at it.
I turned myself into a chair so hot Asian chicks can sit on me.

Barely something imo... The problem with AAA third parties and Nintendo is not the hardware performance, it's the audience, that's why you'll keep seeing JRPGs and Indies sell more on Nintendo than AAA even when they start releasing day one too.
Indies, JRPGs and other gameplay heave games are more in line with Nintendo audience tastes so COD or not, they could sell well but will still be behind PS/Xbox despite Switch or next Switch being the best selling console ever when they release them.
That said, COD and any online game is very gameplay focused so maybe there's a chance it shines there too.

The amount of people on this forum who are convinced Microsoft signed binding contracts to just get a deal through....
Wow, COD will be on Nintendo next platform. There's no way MS goes back on this stuff.
One thing Phil Spencer got right was the fact that gamers are psychopaths and going back on something that has been said publicly so many times would kill the brand.
He's right. MS will stick to their agreements and cod will come to all the platforms they've said it will.

ActiBlizz games are irrelevant to Nintendo, it will harm Sony in the long term, but Nintendo won't feel any impact.

Well they presumably get COD which is pretty big, anyway the deal hasn't gone through yet something may well stop it again?

Microsoft has historically been friendly with Nintendo. Just look at the Minecraft/Super Mario collaboration or Minecraft characters and Banjo & Kazooie in Smash Bros. The games you listed aren't exactly system sellers so no reason for them not to release those types of games on Nintendo platforms.
