Well, there's still the GDC, though there probably won't be anything there.

Oh, psh. That article literally quotes the guy says "No one has said it isn't happening." They also say he has several insider sources at MS, but they're only as provable as Verg's or IGC's. Pay this guy no mind until whatever is happening happens.

 

[ItsMeBrandon]

The article just says Game Pass is likely not coming to Switch in the near future. I don't find that hard to believe- Xbox games on Switch is kind of a big deal, let alone a major subscription service. It would take time to prepare if it's happening at all.

Believe what you will- I personally trust Brad Sams and Jason Schreier. Even if they end up being right, it wouldn't mean much against Banjo in Smash. Microsoft and Nintendo are in a good enough relationship to make that happen even if nothing comes out of these rumors.

 

[JonSmash]

yeah if game pass is announced for switch it would be at E3 & be out by end of this year or next year IMO

 

[TheBeastHimself]

Yeah I feel like Nintendo and Microsoft can definitely announce or tease something at E3, but we wouldn't probably get anything until 2020.

Ahh yes, I love how Joker ranked at rock bottom at 49, then wound up getting in anyway.

It says DLC picks. Whether or not they're unpopular is not why Ken and Incineroar aren't there.

That is not where you make money. The business inside of games is really selling games, and selling access to games and content in means like that is the fundamental business. So if you open it up, the more often people can play, the more they’re enjoying the art form. It increases the size of the business.

But people barely give a hoot about the Xbone itself as it is! This is so weird.

Makes sense to me. It is precisely because people don't really care about XBOX that this makes sense to me. For all those people that don't ever plan on buying an XBOX, they can still buy the pass for access to more games. They can get more money from consumers that were out of reach.

I'll use myself as an example. I hate XBOX and would never buy a console, but access to the exclusives on my switch or ps4? Sign me up.

Seems fair. And I do need a good excuse to access their version of Shovel Knight and try out the Battletoads stage, so.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Even if the Gamepass isn't planned to come to Switch anytime soon, I doubt it isn't at least planned between the higher-ups or whoever for sometime later; they could even tease it at E3 with a Banjo-Kazooie reveal or something. Phil Spencer's statements (and how he has met with/talked about Nintendo before) seem to suggest he'd think it'd be good to bring the Gamepass over to Switch...and, honestly, they probably are eventually, as it'd be silly to bring it over to every device except the Switch unless Nintendo declines for some strange reason (I don't see why they would, it just makes more people want the Switch, especially since most XBone exclusives are now on PC anyway and, if rumors are to be believed, Ori and Cuphead will be on Switch).

There's also the fact that Microsoft would be wanting to push their games in Japan, which they can't because their consoles sell horribly over there...so putting their games on the Switch would get them some big bucks if the Japanese audience likes their games.

I can't believe there was a Frogger discussion here on Saturday and I missed it.

What's your thoughts on why there wasn't a Spirit for it, then?

 

[Opossum]

Honestly, I think it's probably because unlike Bandai-Namco, Konami doesn't have as strong of a history with arcade titles. Like, outside of Frogger, there are some big ones, don't get me wrong. Yie-Ar Kung Fu, Time Pilot, Gyruss, and Rush'n Attack all come to mind, but Namco has it in absolute spades. So I figured maybe Castlevania and Metal Gear were just the bigger draws. I'd have loved for Frogger to be in in some form though.

Agreed. I don't honestly remember a lot of the stuff you said... bar Frogger, Castlevania, and Metal Gear. Most of the stuff I know from Konami is already referenced in Yu-Gi-Oh or is literally unique Yu-Gi-Oh stuff.

It's too bad too. It wouldn't been great to fight a team that had Frogger as a Spirit and Big The Cat as a Spirit. In fact, I remember reading Incineroar can have Big as a Spirit and has the Purple Alt too. No clue if the alt was actually a reference to Big or a coincidence, but that's still a pretty cool battle. Though thinking about it, who would be a good person for Frogger to be equipped to if that overall Spirit Battle was added on to?

(That is so harddddd to explain in less words).

Who else, But Greninja ? Also Yoshi to a lesser extent because of his frog tongue, But he's a Dinosaur not a Frog/Amphibian.

...I blame playing New Leaf and watching Castlevania II that I didn't think of Greninja. Derp. Though my thought is that whoever possesses Froggy would maybe Small-sized as well, since the idea is that Big is trying to protect(or catch) Froggy.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I just imagined a "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" cover with Banjo and Kazooie and now I want it.

I never watched the movie of which the music is from, but I like it regardless.

Meanwhile, it still baffles me that nearly all the paint-related Kirby characters don't have spirits, despite the fact there is a character that can make use of them, right there.

I mean, what, Lucina can be used repeatedly but the Inklings can't be??

Even news outlets are already giving up on seeing the Switch pass happen, so it'll be all the more surprising should it come to pass.

Giggity

 

[MissingGlitch]

You know even if game pass doesn't happen on the Switch. I still see stuff like Cuphead coming over, rare replay maybe if they figure out how to get the Xbox 360 emulation to run on the switch, and more then likely any future Banjo-Kazooie games if we are so lucky

It might take some extra work and it's a long shot, But if they can't get Xbox 360 emulation and Ghoulies running on the Switch then they can replace those titles with the Donkey Kong Country series, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox Adventures.

Rare Replay: Nintendo Switch Edition.

And add Sabre Wolf GBA as a bonus for funsies.

Just put all the Rareware games in general on it. Or even the N64 games plus the DKC ones.

Also, I read that as "for furries".

[UnknownJ25]

So this whole "Game Pass on Switch" thing not happening makes me doubt Banjo coming a bit but I'm still optimistic

 

[MissingGlitch]

No game pass doesn't mean Microsoft won't port games over.

 

[N3ON]

No game pass doesn't mean Microsoft won't port games over.

Right but it'd be like single-digit numbers versus over a hundred.

I don't think it impedes Banjo that much because I believe the two are collaborating nonetheless, but it's still sucky.

I was always thinking Microsoft would use the Switch for their family friendly games. So Banjo would still fall in line with that.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

I can see it being announced and then released sometime within the next year or 2, Possibly when the next generation starts, But if Xbox Gamepass does come to the Switch I would be surprised if it comes out soon, Unless Nintendo and Microsoft have been working on this concept behind close door for a while.

The whole Xcloud/Streaming sounds great to work on almost any device, But it feels like it might be a while to perfect it which is why I'm giving it some time if the rumors are true.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

I would love a physical copy of that on my Switch.

 

[N3ON]

I was always thinking Microsoft would use the Switch for their family friendly games. So Banjo would still fall in line with that.

But there's no real recent Banjo game to port. I doubt N&B comes over, or the N64 ones (by themselves at least) and while Rare Replay is possible, with Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, and Conker, it's not exactly "family friendly".


Personally I think if we get Rare games on the N64 Classic it'd hinder getting Rare Replay (for a while), as I don't see Nintendo wanting to detract attention away from the classic console. Imo it's a big reason the retro Nintendo games have been so slow coming to Switch.

Of course I'm talking hypothetically if there is a new Banjo game.

It's not immaculate, but it's pretty decent, as far as insiders.

But Jason Schreier and Brad Sams are even more reliable.

Oh, alright.

"However he did confirm on an older video that something is effectively in the works between Microsoft and Nintendo but he didn't know exactly what, he couldn't confirm if it was Gamepass/xCloud at the time. Now he's been told that it's not. It could be just another MS game published on Switch as a 3rd party to a platform holder relationship."

Hey, it can still happen. RARE stuff on switch, I mean.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

Tough question for everyone.

If you were allowed to only choose one of the two, Which would you rather have?

Rare Replay on the Nintendo Switch with Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, DK 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox Adventures.

Or

Nintendo 64 Classic Edition with Most of Rare's N64 Library with Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark.
