"And it will be the same content?"

"Moldenhauer: There’s going to be localization, there’s going to be extra animation flourishes throughout. The cutscenes that used to just be a still image between islands now have some animation. And there might be a few little extras for people to find out…"

Take my money, I love a non-lazy developer! They even seem open to putting Nintendo themed content in the game...maybe DLC....they just seem really cool.

Most indies like MDHR that show obvious passion and creativity don't take the success they've achieved for granted. This game was like their baby for so many years and is something that probably wasn't possible a decade ago. It's a miracle that a company like MS even helped them when you think about it. With all that said I hope they move onto a new game in the next few years because they're so talented that I'd hate to see only one major project from them.

eagle212621d ago

I agree. They will have much more money to work on more games in the future. Reading all the comments on various sites from Nintendo as well as Xbox fans, this game is going to sell a lot on Switch.

TK-662621d ago (Edited 2621d ago )

Oh its definitely going to sell well. Its exactly the sort of game that appeals to your typical Nintendo fan and indies like Blossom Tales which nearly failed managed to thrive on the Switch. I'd estimate 2 mil but I wouldn't be surprised if lifetime it managed to hit 3+ mil on the system alone.

eagle212621d ago (Edited 2621d ago )

I think around 2 million will only be the first week on Switch....haha. The game is only $20. I see 5 million plus on Switch alone. Will be fun to see what happens. Remember, you must consider Japan sales as well now in your estimates. :)

DaveZero2621d ago

Hell of a move by Nintendo and Microsoft if they put Xbox live on the switch, it would be even more amazing if we could see Nintendo games on Xbox consoles and Xbox games on Nintendo consoles.

Always said it's about time these console devs moved past exclusives and made all games for whatever platform they chose to buy.

With the potential of three new console devs potentially joining this billion dollar industry, it might be safe to say existing console devs would be wise to band together because it looks as though a war is brewing..

thepetedog2621d ago (Edited 2621d ago )

Why’s that?

RememberThe3572621d ago

I'm a Sony fan and I'd love to see that.

Melankolis2621d ago

How so? It simplifies things. For me, the 1st console to buy is always Playstation, and the 2nd is Nintendo's portable, but now i have extra feature to access Xbox game library. Not that it's important but having an extra is always welcomed.

rainslacker2621d ago

A war is brewing? Umm....the console war has been a thing since the 2600/colecovision days. We practice this war every day on this site. We even call it a war.

mark_parch2621d ago

i would love nothing more than to be able to play every game on one device.

The_Sage2621d ago

This does make me think that the Microsoft talk of them becoming the Netflix of game isn't just talk.

deno2621d ago (Edited 2621d ago )

They were talking about gamepass. Gamepass is essentially video game version of Netflix.

The_Sage2621d ago (Edited 2621d ago )

I don't think so, brother... Read this.

https://www.businessinsider...

Here's a quote from the full article, which you should read.

"It's part of a bigger push within Microsoft's Xbox group, led by Microsoft VP of gaming Phil Spencer, to make Xbox into a platform rather than a piece of hardware."

RememberThe3572621d ago

Does that contradict his comment? Netflix is a software based and so is Xbox, just different mediums. I get that it's not streaming but the concept that you can access all the media on the service with just a monthly fee is very similar.

The_Sage2621d ago

Yes it does, Remember. They are talking about making Xbox a platform instead of a console. That's more thanjust game pass. It's the same idea Google has.

spicelicka2621d ago

This is cool! Now...bring Zelda to Xbox...

mark_parch2621d ago

i would love that but i think it's extremely unlikely lol

spicelicka2621d ago

Yea it's not happening lol

Thundercat772620d ago

Totally unlikely. Nintendo is not on a loosing position like Microsoft is.

spicelicka2620d ago

They're not in the winning position either, but it has nothing to do with that.

XiNatsuDragnel2621d ago

I love that fact Xbox is becoming 3rd party, and game on the switch equals day 1

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma26d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay25d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran825d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger25d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2325d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

Phil Spencer killed the Xbox Let It Go move on to PC

Jingsing25d ago

They would be better breaking up what valued assets they still have and put them out to auction for the competition.
There is no more financial gain for them on any trajectory in the entertainment space.
