Xbox One certainly has got the hardware nailed down, and things are only going to get better with Project Scorpio next year, but Microsoft also has an eye on software.
As in, games.
Phil Spencer, the Xbox head, recently expressed his thoughts about it, saying that he hoped to see Nintendo open up its popular gaming franchises to other gaming platforms like the Xbox. This is what he said on this:
“I’d love to see Mario on Xbox. As someone who’s been in this industry and played games forever, I’ll still say it: Nintendo has the strongest first-party of anybody. They’re just fantastic and the memories that they have instilled in so many of us, who’ve played their games and had those delightful experiences, having those on Xbox would be great.”
Spencer also recalled the partnership Microsoft and Nintendo has enjoyed in the past, including bringing Minecraft to the Wii U last year, as well as Super Mario themed content to the Wii U version of the game back in May.
So, they do have an excellent working relationship here, these two companies.
A great partnership according to Spencer, who added that that he is completely open to the idea of bringing popular characters from first-party Xbox titles to Nintendo games.
Speaking as a fan he said:
“I’m a big Nintendo fan and I think they’ve been incredibly important for the games industry, they do a great job with younger audiences, and if we ever had a chance to work with them in the future, I would absolutely do it”.
That’s the real reason behind such enthusiasm for Nintendo games from the head of Xbox. It would be absolutely fabulous if this translates to something good later down the road.
Like a Nintendo game coming to Xbox, or even Windows 10.
But for now, we wait.
