@GameCollector84 @SalvoHardin I doubt it would tank the sales that much given how many Switches sold anyway but @kostasfil did bring up that a potential Switch version of game pass most likely wouldn't have all the games Xbox has.
@AtlanteanMan Couldn't have said it better myself. Is it any wonder why the Sega racing games were called Sonic and Sega and not just Sega? And then dropping the Sega part altogether for Team Sonic Racing?
“The reference to it being "impossible", is likely tied to the legal issues surrounding the music in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - some of the tracks were apparently composed by Michael Jackson but went uncredited.“
Another decade+ old game being screwed over by music copyright. Not surprising
I know people will point fingers at Nintendo for doing this, but plenty of other companies have shut down fan games and projects (Sega even did this to a Streets of Rage fan remake). And let's not forget the many times parody vids on YouTube based off copyrighted material get taken down despite falling under fair use.
@desireefan36 But they're not really doing that. They would only be putting their character in a game that just so happens to be playable on other systems
@backup368 Who's to say they won't buy anything else? They can't stick with Xcloud forever @rockodoodle True but they're still racing games at the end of the day.
@backup368 @Scrubicius I can guarantee that the people who would get a Switch just for Xcloud and not even buy 1 game is incredibly miniscule compared to how people own a switch and a game right now
@kingv84 "Nintendo does not even have its own first party version of a Forza/Gran Turismo game"
Mario Kart exists you know? And are those really the best game you could choose to highlight?
@backup368 Of course, none of them are licensed, the point here is the potential for at least one of them to be on Switch and how beneficial it would be for them. How is reporting about a potential collab with Microsoft an obsession anyway?
Having Samus in Fortnite is the perfect advertisement for the franchise. Nintendo really has nothing to worry about with a crossover like this since they're just having the character on other systems.
@Tasuki @EriXz @Rhaoulos @ImBackBB @SalvorHardin @ALinkttPresent You'll understand why this article exists if you just read the second and third paragraph. This isn't some random post from 4chan.
@HeadPirate You know you can delete comments, right? As for your comment, why not wait till it's out before calling it a "lazy re-release"? I doubt the expanded Mii creation costed that much.
"There's been talk about Game Pass and Xbox Cloud on Switch, but industry analysts have essentially ruled it out." By "analysts", you really mean analyst and he never specified when the Nintendo employee told him.
Hopefully, Sega will actually announce something and won't waste people's time like they (along with Atlus) did with New Game Plus Expo back in 2020 (seriously, screw both of them to oblivion for even doing that)
"For all of you football / soccer-ball fans, 'football drama' likely refers to the unedifying sight of a dozen billionaires and assorted cronies trying to create a 'European Super League', then backing down within 72 hours when everyone pointed out it was the worst idea since the Virtual Boy."

Re: Minecraft Beats Pokémon, Zelda And Animal Crossing To The Prize Of "World's Leading Fandom"
Does this have any significance anyway
Re: The Apple Vs. Epic Lawsuit Has Sparked 'Xbox Game Pass On Switch' Rumours Again
@Jokerwolf You don’t need an internet browser for game pass. The eshop exists for a reason.
Once again, why would you use a browser on console and not your computer or phone?
Re: Random: Forget 'Mario & Sonic', Sega's Blue Blur Has Found Himself A New Crossover Pal
This makes sense since they shared the same voice actor

Re: The Apple Vs. Epic Lawsuit Has Sparked 'Xbox Game Pass On Switch' Rumours Again
@Jokerwolf Why would you use a web browser on consoles when even low-powered computers provide a more convenient method.
Re: The Apple Vs. Epic Lawsuit Has Sparked 'Xbox Game Pass On Switch' Rumours Again
Still think that Switch on the shelf meant nothing folks?
Re: Sorry, We're Not Getting Hollow Knight: Silksong News At E3 2021
This game can't be as big as Elder Ring yet it still shares the same MIA meme status.
Re: Introducing Xylophone, From The Studio That Brought You Nintendo Switch's Calculator
Nintendo has at least a miniscule of quality control right?
Re: Sonic Is Alive And Well, According To Sega Sammy's Sales Data For Fiscal Year 2021
@Krull I really don't see how managing and watching AI play soccer is that interesting.
Re: Sonic Is Alive And Well, According To Sega Sammy's Sales Data For Fiscal Year 2021
@AtlanteanMan Couldn't have said it better myself. Is it any wonder why the Sega racing games were called Sonic and Sega and not just Sega? And then dropping the Sega part altogether for Team Sonic Racing?
Re: Sonic Is Alive And Well, According To Sega Sammy's Sales Data For Fiscal Year 2021
Ok, the fact that a dull as heck concept of a game like Football Manager sold more than Persona really ticks me off.
Re: Sonic Is Alive And Well, According To Sega Sammy's Sales Data For Fiscal Year 2021
@VoidofLight You're not alone

Re: Rumour: Sega Will Re-Release Sonic 3 & Knuckles In A New Sonic Collection
“The reference to it being "impossible", is likely tied to the legal issues surrounding the music in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - some of the tracks were apparently composed by Michael Jackson but went uncredited.“

Re: Random: Fans Are Having A Field Day Reviewing Nintendo Switch's Calculator
Further proof that Metacritic is untrustworthy.
And somehow Nintendo is showing once again that online stores still don't have quality control
Re: Random: Check Out These "Mock-Ups" Of Game Boy Advance For Switch Online
I really do think people will be willing to spend 4 bucks a month if they do this. Especially if they add the localized version of Mother 3 to it
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Confirms That "Many" New Games Are Coming This Year
You may jest but given that Nintendo was kind of silent throughout most of 2020, this is still needed.
Re: Sega Looking To Release Brand New "Super Game" In The Next Five Years
Compare that to Sony who would rather remake a game not even that old that already got remastered on the PS4
Re: Sega Is Cool With Sonic Fan Games, Provided "No Profit Is Involved"
I know people will point fingers at Nintendo for doing this, but plenty of other companies have shut down fan games and projects (Sega even did this to a Streets of Rage fan remake). And let's not forget the many times parody vids on YouTube based off copyrighted material get taken down despite falling under fair use.
Copyright, in general, is a big joke now.
Re: UK Charts: Resident Evil Village Spooks New Pokémon Snap Out Of Top Spot
Sorry but Pokemon Snap didn't have someone like Alcina.
Re: Japanese Fans Voted For Their Favourite Animal Crossing Villagers - Do You Agree With The Ranking?
Marshal definitely deserved at least top 3
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
@russell-marlow It's not really all of a sudden
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
Shows for an older audeince reference copyrighted material all the time so this should be fine
Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages
Just a reminder that Nintendo/Metroid's fanbase consists of plenty of adults and teens.
Re: Epic Apparently Wanted First-Party Exclusives From Nintendo, Microsoft And Sony On Its Digital Storefront
I don’t know why but the idea of playing a Switch game like Mario Odyssey on PC just sounds incredibly off even if it would be on better hardware.
Nintendo should not put their games on any other systems.
Re: Random: The Internet Goes Wild For New Waluigi Render
Jokes aside, glad Nintendo is showing respect to Waluigi in some capacity.

Pretty much everyone did too

Re: Toys For Bob Is Now A Support Developer For Call Of Duty: Warzone
The worse part is that Activision will still make bank no matter how many people they tick off. Can’t believe they’re worse than EA now
Re: Random: Terry Crews Wants Nintendo To Localise Mother 3
Off-topic and a downer I know, but why haven't you guys made an article about Toys for Bob now working on COD development?

Re: Random: Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer Still Has That Nintendo Switch On His Shelf

By "analysts", you really mean analyst and he never specified when the Nintendo employee told him.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Silly_G At least the game is enjoyable unlike Anthem and Avengers.
Re: E3 Line-Up Potentially Expands With SEGA And Bandai Namco
@uoi100 you'd think they focus on stuff people will actually care about.
Re: Reminder: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Funny how Capcom is doing a non-convoluted way of transmog that Bungie can't be bothered to do
Re: E3 Line-Up Expands With SEGA And Bandai Namco Joining In

Seems like they took a page from Sony it seems
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Brings Long-Awaited Games To Switch This July
Took them a while. Especially since they went after a fan translation
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Brings Long-Awaited Games To Switch This July
@MarcusIsCool Why would you want that when you're getting a better version?
