I just saw a thread on reddit about Microsoft buying Bethesda. Somehow that meant Fallout on the Switch is more likely now.

It actually might be. The whole console dynamic has changed a ton over the last few years

It's true. Microsoft has generally been pretty tight with Nintendo this generation, being considerably more willing than Sony to share IP's and establish cross-play. Of course, the Xbone has been pretty undeniably lagging behind the PS4, so that's probably less Microsoft actually looking for collaborative opportunities and more them not being as arrogant as companies tend to be when they're winning the console market (which we've seen with all three), and trying to make Sony's life more difficult. If they end up in a stronger position next gen, that dynamic may very well change.

Meh, I would only be getting Elder Scrolls 6 for PC anyways, not the switch
Me too. Elder Scrolls is better on PC, since you can use mods or codes to get past the bugs.

Not dying for it but if at some point save files were interchangeable between the two, I would not mind being able to play during my lunch break at work and then continue at home on my PC. I typically use only quality of life mods so if save files become interchangeable, I can only assume there will not be much issues loading back and forth between the save files.

Microsoft has some rights to Cuphead because they funded the project. They were the ones that gave the okay for it to be released on Switch.

And I think Banjo & Kazooie getting into Smash says something about how much friendlier Microsoft is than Sony. As does the B&K and Viva Pinata games for GBA and DS. As in, Rare still made some games for Nintendo systems AFTER getting bought out by Microsoft. Albeit only handheld games.

People talk about "fanboys" of opposing consoles in such a condescending manner. This "us vs them" mentality is one of my biggest pet peeves. What makes it worse is that it exists in every aspect of life; politics, religion, race, etc... ugh.

But there can be only one!!

I don't know if I've ever seen Switch fans =p

Also, if any console needs ports, it's the Switch. Its library is still really tiny. And, not for nothing, but I own Skyrim on the 360 (vanilla), ps3 (legendary), and pc (ES collection), but eventually I'll be getting it on the Switch, too. >_>

Microsoft always had a warm relationship to Nintendo, because MS never competed against Nintendo in the handheld market, and they view Sony as the much larger threat.

Microsoft has allowed these games to be made for Nintendo's portable platforms.

There was supposed to even be a Halo game on the DS, but that got cancelled.

I don't expect any major Microsoft IPs other than Banjo to appear even a cameos on Nintendo platforms.

I doubt that'll happen. As a service, Gamepass is meant to be an incentive for people to choose a system. It's on Xbox to make Xbox more attractive, and it's on PC's to make Windows 10 more attractive (less necessary now that prior versions of Windows are no longer supported), but Microsoft really doesn't benefit from making the Switch more attractive. Most of Microsoft's support of Nintendo has boiled down to making life harder for Sony, rather than helping Nintendo compete with the Xbox. Gamepass on Switch would generally fall more into the latter camp than the former.
