Microsoft has been very positive and friendly towards Nintendo this year, and it shows no sign of stopping. In fact, Microsoft has given Nintendo some more positive remarks on Twitter. The Corporate Vice President of Xbox and Windows, Mike Ybarra, has congratulated Nintendo on the release of Super Mario Odyssey. In fact, Ybarra even said that he “can’t wait to dive in”. His tweet is down below.
Congratulations @NintendoAmerica on an amazing Mario release. I can’t wait to dive in! #gamer https://t.co/MBT635O9X5

Dear Microsoft, please go third party and port the original Halo trilogy to the Nintendo Switch.
Dear nintendo go third party and port mario odyssey to the xbox…
both are equally possible
“Both are equally possible”
Until you look at the difference in console sales.
BURN!
until you realize that microsoft made 1.9 billion last year on xbox and that the xbox one x is really being hyped up, my point is that neither of them are going to stop making consoles anytime soon
At this point that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Fuck off
XBox makes 11% of Microsoft’s revenue which is quite something for a company like MS that is spread across a bunch of markets and fields. So even if it’s not gaining huge profits they might still need it for a while.
Nice try but not really..
But it would be such long term it isn’t really relevant.
Both are euqually possible
about to see both Halo and Microsoft on a Nintendo console?
Dear Nintendo and Microsoft, co-create a console next gen, with power and 3rd party support of xbox one and nintendo’s 1st party games and uniqueness.
NO…
There was a risk where Nintendo could be bought by Microsoft but the president of Nintendo (Hiroshi Yamauchi I think) refuse the offer and let Nintendo go ahead with his path.
I think this will never happen.
Never say never, It was close to happening with sony and nintendo in the mid 90’s.
Yeah I know but it was Nintendo that decided to leave because the contact from Sony and Nintendo didn’t go well.
I remeber one article where Nintendo and Sony decided to met up for release the PSX and it didn’t go well.
I think both companies have their ideas and that’s why Nintendo go for his path and Sony for his.
Competition is good for the industry…I don’t want another big player to go third party…I still miss Sega in the mix of things.
Search on google Sega Spartan. They might go back in console market.
You know you’re a success when your competition gives you some love.
“Can’t wait to dive in” …. WAWU!
So the Xbox team are so jobless the at they have time to wait for Odyssey? No sales data or new game to develop?
I wonder what their investor report is gonna be like… “In this quarter, we didn’t release another games to support Forza for the holiday period but we played the hell outta Mario Odyssey! “
Please tell me this is sarcasm.
No he is serious
What Champ’s, Cheers VP!
At this rate, it’ll be no time before the perfect baby console is born!
Dear Microsoft, kill the Xbox/Live, return to supporting PC where you truly belong.
Dear Xbox,
Since you guys are such pals with Nintendo can we have Cuphead? With cross platform play of course.
I’m afraid I’d ruin my Switch input devices (all of them) while playing (or trying to play) that game.
Isn’t it just a game with 1940s animation style? It’s not gonna harm the Switch anymore than Sonic Forces harming the frame rate.
The amount of salt that game generates can be harmful to the hardware, specially the portable, easily throwable hardware.
Cuphead it’s an exclusive for only 1 year.
The more I think about it, the more sense this approach makes for Microsoft. MS wants to increase their audience, so playing nice with Switch owners especially at this time, when they’re about to release their XBone X makes perfect sense. Because what’s the one thing Switch owners have to live with? the limitations in performance. And getting Switch owners to realise that an XBone X might be a good fit next to the portable Switch might just be way more than just a friendly gesture.
Don’t get me wrong, this still might be one of the best ways to market your product. Instead of arrogance and ignorant comments about your competition (Nintendo’s also guilty of that) just show some teamplay. Would be cool if more would act like that.
The game is one of the best title ever.

I’m probably the only person who bought Super Mario Odyssey before midnight (on the 26th), but won’t be playing it for a long time still.
