 Hey everyone rumor prime back at it again Seriously, I hear some of you guys out there talking about the whole rumor prime thing We've had a lot of rumors lately Some of them more weight behind them than others. This is actually one of those rumors I've been teasing it on Twitter for a few days now, and I'm finally going to talk about it because this is Legit this isn't one of those You know random youtuber random person on Twitter random this random that this is backing from real people that Microsoft has some major plans of some sort for Nintendo and Nintendo switch specifically now what those plans are I don't know we know Microsoft and Nintendo have already worked together a little bit You know we got the Ori series of games both games we got obviously We all know about Cuphead, but what's interesting obviously is what else could be going on because We know that Microsoft is basically doing nothing with in regard. Well, I guess nothing really in regards to PlayStation PlayStation just wants nothing to do with them They'd now own Bethesda and there is that one game from Bethesda that's contractually coming to PlayStation but beyond that it's in that in Minecraft, of course There really isn't Microsoft support I know Cuphead Ori and stuff ended up going over there as well But in terms of like future support Microsoft and Sony are not really playing nice together Which happens we're at the start of a new generation for both platforms. They are competing in different ways and Phil Spencer is very very interesting guy So we got this following statement from Jeff Grubb now Jeff Grubb is a video game journalist He does you know he the last somebody did like the Jeff Grubb games mess Where he basically Jeff Grubb just knows a bunch of things and has a ton of connections. He works for venture beat Everything he's ever said has basically come true. Sometimes it's about Nintendo Microsoft PlayStation, etc He's got connections everywhere. He knows game developers. He knows a bunch of stuff He knows things from lawyers like he heard heard things from lawyers about the Kojima deal You know, there's a report out there right now that Kojima productions and Microsoft are working together and that Microsoft has Come close to lacking in a production deal With them basically saying that Kojima is making a game for Xbox or for Game Pass And Microsoft says he paid paying for it and publishing it and he heard from lawyers that this was actually a thing going on So good for him. Jeff Grubb is a great guy, but Phil Spencer Was recently Doing his thing having Appearing in videos and this appeared a while ago not not too long ago, but a little bit ago now And in the background of a video that Phil Spencer was in was a shelf full of gaming stuff And this is where people started really talking about things with in regards to well, here's the shelf for starters So you can look at it in regards to potentially what could be happening With the future of Xbox because in the past it turns out that an Xbox series S was literally on the back shelf of Phil Spencer during a video and nobody noticed So sometimes he puts teases on his shelves. Well in the back shelf There was obviously a death stranding thing which either was a sign that death stranding is coming to Xbox Which would be interesting since Sony paid for paid for that game or That the company behind this stranding would be doing something for him But also on his shelf was a switch now We all know that there's already been support for switch So people really didn't think much of the switch being there Well Jeff Grubb went ahead on his podcast and said the following, but I am genuinely genuinely curious What the procedure is when you guys hear about unannounced information take the Kojima news for example I'm sure you've known of that news for at least a little while now But is there a process to verify the information to potentially sift out things that are not true And would you decide when to talk about these things? Appreciate everything you all do have a great weekend. Well, you're the frequent leaker. So this is all you. Yeah, I'm freak the Freak leak It is oh, it's always different in every circumstance and like so yeah, let's talk about the Kojima thing So I did hear about that a while ago. I well I heard about it after the after Phil did his thing and he had it on the on his shelf I asked someone like hey, what about this shelf? Is there anything there and that person was like Yeah, everything there pretty much even the switch to a little bit although who knows exactly I still don't know exactly what the switch is significant enough But apparently everything on this on this on the shelf meant something and here's what it meant for in terms of the Kojima Productions statue the Ludens thing. So yeah, it doesn't look like Jeff Grubb actually knows specifically What's going on? But that it means something something is happening between Xbox and switch something's going out. We don't know what but something now Notably we should note that hey, you know what Bethesda has been one of the big supporters of switch almost from day one We got doom 2016 back in 2017 when the switch came out, obviously we had the Wolfenstein games do eternal Maybe there's a potential that Microsoft's gonna keep releasing Bethesda games Skyrim all that jazz the next little scrolls Maybe they're gonna keep supporting switch and that is something that's exciting to think about as a possibility But obviously with that platform, you know, and then focusing on the newer technology from Xbox It's gonna seem a little hard-pressed to just put those games on switch or is it now Microsoft does multiple things going on right now. We all know what game pass that gets talked about a lot But one thing that isn't talked about as much because it's not fully released at this point is X cloud and You have to start to wonder is Microsoft bringing X cloud and thus game pass through X cloud To Nintendo switch and would Nintendo allow this to happen now We know Sony won't let Xbox live on their platform, but will Nintendo allow Xbox live on their platform if it's just through a streaming service Hmm interesting thought and to further back this up We have a insider a leaker that you know reddit is claiming any ways that this person is a Leaker and has gotten a bunch of information correct in the past going out on Twitter and Saying a couple days ago after Jeff grub You know mentioned that that switch on Phil Spencer shelf means something Saying that the cat seems to be out of the bag on Nintendo and Xbox and that will hear more in the fall So no no big announcements coming at E3, which I you know would be interesting because Microsoft and Nintendo are both at E3 But what that does mean is that we have a lot of information coming About whatever this is this fall and I don't know again We don't know more than this everything from this point is just speculation Is it going to be X cloud and with game pass is game pass just in general with the games that can be supported coming to switch Are we getting future Xbox games also much like is Xbox not caring about platform You know exclusivity and they're like hey look any game. We're making that could also be on switch Let's put it on switch. Let's let's formalize that partnership and remember Nintendo and Microsoft have been working together Pretty much this entire generation They're they've had a very tight relationship, but they've also made it very clear they're separate companies with their own goals Microsoft really loves Nintendo by the way Phil Spencer He has gone on record many times to talk about how important Nintendo is to the industry How Nintendo is not just an icon but a treasure and if Nintendo was ever in trouble Ever about to go out of business that the industry as a whole should step up to save them Basically he's saying Nintendo is it is too iconic to ever let them fail And by having Microsoft support them in some way would be furthering that goal and also you're gonna Xbox fans might not like this potentially having you know their games on a switch But who really cares guys if you want the best home console experience get a series X get a gaming PC If you want the best experience on the go right now I mean you can get a GPD win or whatever like that or you can get a much cheaper more affordable option in switch So I think everyone can win in a partnership like this having obviously the streaming services on switch guess what you know Xbox fans get used to it They're gonna have streaming services on anything that Phil Spencer can get them on from TVs to Roku to Chrome Whatever he can get his xCloud streaming app on he's gonna put it there And if Nintendo is willing to work with him to get his streaming services on switch Which by the way switch already supports streaming. Hello, we just had a game last year come out in control On switch through streaming and that's not even the first one because in Japan They've experimented with with some Ubisoft games and with Resident Evil. So again, this is speculative But it's speculative based on the fact that Factually Microsoft has something decently big happening on Nintendo, you know, you have Jeff grubb basically say hey, I don't know what it is how big it is But something's happening. Yeah, you know, we're too far out from the details for him to know more and then you have you know At a physio underscore ed saying the cats out of the bag You're gonna hear more in the fall like guys Microsoft is doing something on switch again. Is it just gonna be an indie game port? Is it gonna be Bethesda support? Are they gonna announce? Hey the next big Bethesda games also coming to switch or is it gonna be? Hey, we're bringing X cloud to switch with game pass to switch imagine the value proposition If you're a switch owner if you also can get X cloud and game pass I know some of you guys are anti streaming But imagine being able to play all of Microsoft's great games from the studios They bought right on your switch even if you have to stream it well hooked up to a TV. I Think that's just that's exciting. Now. I don't know that we're gonna go as far as that's what's going to happen But it might be what's going to happen that that's a thing that might be what it is So again, this is one of those rumors that has a lot of speculation around it But also one of those we definitively know Microsoft is doing something for switch Something that's likely pretty big But that's all we know Microsoft and Nintendo as they said back in the day Better together All right, folks I'm Nathan Rovedes from Nintendo Prime if you enjoyed this video Be sure to subscribe hit that like button and why don't you check out our giveaway down in the description or pinned comment I'll catch you guys in the next video
