Rumored Switch Announcement As Big As Mario On The PlayStation
Kill Zell, a known leaker, posted on ResetEra.com that something big is about to announced for the Nintendo Switch.
“some stuff coming to the Switch ‘at least one’ … I mean … it wasn’t even possible years ago, can’t wait to see the reaction here.“
After a handful of responses King Zell said this:
It wasn’t possible, like seeing Mario in a PlayStation console.
Xbox IP On Nintendo Switch?
This week is GDC so a lot of people are assuming there will be some kind of an announcement from Microsoft about a game on the Switch. This rumor stating that it’s “like seeing Mario in a PlayStation console” makes me think that we may see Halo on the Switch. Some are speculating that it may be a Rare title but my gut says it’s bigger than that. Looking at the recent announcement of Halo games on PC and Steam, the Switch could be next. They are older games that I would assume would be easy to port. The older titles are beloved in the gaming community even from people who have moved away from the Xbox brand. Halo on the Nintendo Switch seems impossible which is why it’s my guess with this rumor.
What do you think about this rumor? If true, what game do you think it will be? Comment below and I will read them on this week’s Nintendo Power Cast.
I think there is some credence to these rumors with how well Nintendo & Xbox recent relationship has been. Xbox seems to be more interested in providing services as of late with Game Pass and the rumors of expanding Xbox live to more platforms.
I think we’d be more likely to see something like Cuphead or even a Rare title rather then Halo. But starting off with Microsofts arguably biggest franchise would show that they are serious about branching out.
If this is real, I will buy the game so fast. I think Switch sales would increase twofold.
The fact that he said “some stuff” coming to the switch makes me think there will be more than one game announced. My theory is they will announce an official realease date for Ori and the Will of the Wisps and also announce that it will be released on Switch the same day as Xbox. And they’ll also port Ori and the Blind Forest for hype. This is something I could see running easily on the switch
I do like the idea of them allowing Nintendo to take on Halo just because it is Microsoft’s biggest franchise. I can also see Cuphead or State of Decay being ported as well.
My secret hope is that they port Ashen. I had so much fun with this game and would love to play it again, especially in handheld mode.
Halo on Switch would be awesome, take my money…. this could potentially also mean Master Chief for Smash… ???
If Halo on Switch is announced I would be first in line to pre-order my copy. Halo is one of my all time favorite series, and to have that mobile with the ability to play anytime, anywhere would be a dream come true.
Halo 1 and 2 i think could be ported pretty easily to the Switch. It would be a win win for both parties with Microsoft maybe getting the better end of the deal. Similar to how Nintendo is using mobile games to promote the Switch, Microsoft can use this to promote their platform. Switch users will benefit by being able to play games that they may never have had the chance to play plus (fingers crossed) Microsoft adds a better online ecosystem.
This would be interesting as this will mark the day that a Microsoft IP will be on a different Major corporations system, let alone being finally ported to PC just recently.
I’d love to see and adding to everyone else’s comments of different games, it sounds like they have more games or more features lying in wait for a big reveal and I can’t wait to see if this is real.
I would love the game pass and I would love to see Cup Head and Master Chief himself on Nintendos platform and maybe vice versa with Mario maybe going to computer? Or Xbox also in some way? It would be some major publicity for Nintendo to open up and add Mario customization on Xbox or PC themes or something. It’s just speculation.
My hope is that it is Master Chief Collection. Seeing how all the Halo games game out on 360 besides 5 I think they could work on switch. They did say several so what if after announcing Halo they say that Rare is going where it all started and Banjo Threeie is in development and gets even more hype is that both Master Chief and Banjo in smash
I would love to play halo on the switch. I don’t care if it’s a GameCube, Switch, PlayStation, Genesis, or Xbox. I want to play Mario/Halo for the software. Not the hardware. I would love to see Link in 4K on the Xbox One if this was reciprocated.
Sign me up as the newest master chief main in smash. Just call me Spartan 117
