Topic: COD on Switch, I am freaking out soo much right now!!!!

I am so super hyped right now upon hearing about the tweet from Phil Spencer (Microsoft) stating that (I paraphrase) ' after the 2023 merger of Microsoft and Activision/blizzard-King Microsoft has committed to releasing on Nintendo, Call of Duty titles for 10 years'

Now yes I realize that there are a few potential issues to bring up and discuss.

1.) If the merger is blocked by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) (which Sony really really wants to happen) due to the merger being anti-consumer and/or anti-competitive what happens to COD coming to a Nintendo platform? After all if there is no merger the decision would be up to Activision/Blizzard -King.

2.) If the merger were to happen in June 2023 as planned and then Microsoft starts to either make the next COD title for play on Nintendo or port an earlier version of COD (my hope would be Black ops 2 and 4 for the zombies modes or the Battle Royale Warzone 2.0) would sny of the COD series be able to run on the Nintendo switch as it is now without the COD game being one of the cloud gaming things? ( Which would disqualify me from playing it at all). On a side note to this point Phil Spencer stated in a recent interview regarding if COD would run on Switch that he made the comparison to Minecraft being tweaked and altered so that it was able to run on Switch.

3.) If the next COD were announced to be on Nintendo in say 2024. Activision has stated that from Modern warfare 2 on COD will be on a 2 year development cycle instead of the yearly releases of the past 10 or so years. That would put the next COD game say Black ops 5 in the 2024/2025 release window. That time frame would allow for Nintendo to either release the talked about Switch Pro or the follow up Switch 2. Those two 'new' systems would (I hope) be far more powerful and thus able to handle playing a COD game?

Regardless of anything I am so super pumped and excited for the possibility of playing any COD game (yes even the abominations that were the 'advanced movement' COD games or the stupid COD WW II).

@AppleroseGrace it was probably a glitch, but you can delete these duplicate posts

@WoomyNNYes how? Lol I'm a noob

I was excited then I had a horrible thought. CoD is now on Switch (via Cloud). That’s nightmare inducing stuff right there.

Every few months, someone posts a new thread, and it ends up posting two or three duplicates. And it doesn't appear to be intentional. I think it happened to me once. I hit the post button, and nothing appeared to happen (because internet). So, I hit the post button again. And I ended up with duplicates. I assumed that's what happened with your post. Otherwise, a moderator will likely end up locking the duplicates.

@GameOtaku When I first heard about this being announced, my first thought was how is it going to play on the Switch? But then I thought maybe it’s not going to start on the current system, but instead whatever the Switch 2 ends up being. I can see it being a couple of years before COD comes to any Nintendo platform.

Locking this as this has been created twice it seems https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/cod_on_sw...
