Re: Microsoft Focused On Launching Ori Sequel Exclusively On Xbox One And PC

Grow up. I was just stating why Nintendo wouldn't release their games on Xbox not whether I want them to or not.

But just so you know I absolutley do not want them to and I don't think Microsoft should have either. Exclusives are extremely important for consoles and just look at the situation Microsoft have created because they release a few of their games on Switch. Everytime they release a new game people will ask why it isn't on Switch and will start yapping about it. Microsoft have created unneccessary confusion by using this startegy that was born out of pure desperation due to the poor performance of the Xbox One.

Again, Nintendo owe them nothing.

Nintendo don't have to give anything back. Xbox One was a disaster this gen (why have Microsoft never revealed hardware sales?) and they have been trying everything to claw themselves back.

Things like backwards compatability and Gamepass wouldn't have happened if they had Sony levels of success and putting games on Switch is just another attempt to recoup money. Microsoft were desperate. Nintendo always sticks to its guns and even when they have a disaster like Wii U they never forget the importance of their first, second and third party exclusives.

Nintendo owe Microsoft nothing.

Yes it is, I didn't say it wasn't.

I consider DLC as content that properly expands the game like the extra tracks in MK8 or extra story DLC with hours of content.

I consider microtransactions as buying horse armour or costumes or whatever rubbish currency a game has given itself to pay for lootboxes or costumes etc. I despise the practise of microtransactions and will never support it.

I can support DLC if it is done right.

DLC and season passes aren't microtransactions and only a fool would think they were.

Nintendo embracing the mobile free to play mechanics on their mobile games is awful and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. If they show their face on full priced Nintendo console games I am done.

You are yet again trying to spin a narrative that isn't there for the vast majority of people.

Re: Zelda: Link's Awakening Won't Support Cloud Saves On Switch, According To Nintendo UK Listing

@Damo

On this website maybe not but with a lot of Nintendo releases it says on the eshop that it does not support cloud saves only to be changed closer to release.

Luigi's Mansion 3 was the last one people were worrying about it on reddit but it now states it supports cloud saves.
