If those rumors are true then they were probably at the beginning of the port’s development & means it’s still safe. Though, I imagine any brand new Microsoft games going forward won’t come to Switch unless Nintendo allows Game Pass on Switch.
I heard idea of allowing Gamepass Switch version that doesn't have overlapped games. Third party games that aren't under Xbox Studio would be excluded, but Xbox first party games that aren't available on Switch would be on Gamepass... kinda like how PC Gamepass is different from Xbox version.
Eh, not exactly. I think it’s possible that Microsoft could’ve asked Nintendo to add Chief when negotiating those two. But Steve & Banjo have their own reasons from Microsoft too.
Ah I see... Random thought, if Chief does ever make playable status.. If Nintendo objects to bullets, Chief could always use Hardlight ammo for the Assault Rifle, Sniper, Shotgun, etc.
Yeah I’ve seen that idea throw around too. Alternatively he could just mainly use Covenant & Forerunner weapons. Maybe include the Rocket Launcher, UNSC grenades & Grenade launcher too.
In regards to Banjo, I think the partial reason was because of cleaning up character requests from older polls in Japan. If I'm not mistaken, he was on one that was done way back in 1999: https://smashboards.com/threads/i-think-this-might-be-interesting-to-look-at-melee-1999-poll.81891/
That's a stretch and you know it.
Well... so did Sony...
Nah, Rift Apart is way too strong for the Switch, or maybe even its rumored revision.
Can't watch it; Youtube is down.
It could be possible. They control exactly the same in Halo 2 & 3. But I’m not sure how their hit boxes would work in Smash due to the drastically different designs.
The hitboxes already in-game aren't that accurate to the proportions of the characters anyways. Plus many characters aren't their actual size compared to other characters in their series.

Phil on Halo Infinite: "In the long run, I think we’re going to get a better Halo game at a good time when people can actually get a console. I feel good about that. I think the game will be better for the time that we’re giving it." https://t.co/rDfsdzog0G

That would be less hassle than coding every stage. That's for sure.
Depends on whether there's pre-recorded stuff to use, like for Xander's newcomer announcements.
The buzz on the street assumes that
could join that party too, so it'd be halfway there, at least.
At this stage I'm still waiting for that MCC Switch port Zell has teased months ago. That's the sole determining factor for me.
Aaaand here’s another example of Microsoft pushing Master Chief/Halo heavily. At this point, I think Microsoft had to have atleast asked Nintendo about Smash. Maybe Nintendo didn’t want it or maybe we’re in the best timeline where they wanted it.
