We’ll be working with StudioMDHR to implement Xbox Live features into Cuphead on the Nintendo Switch

The Game Developers Conference is here again and I’m hecka stoked to join the ID@Xbox team in our annual trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. GDC is an amazing time to highlight new games, catch-up with other developers and friends in the industry and listen to their feedback to continue driving innovation forward for Xbox. 2018 was a fantastic year for developers in the ID@Xbox program and we can’t be more excited to share what we have planned for 2019 with our fans in the coming days and months.

Should be interesting to see where or how far Nintendo will go with Xbox services.

Neonridr2280d ago

yeah I am not entirely sure what "bringing Xbox Live features into Cuphead" means exactly, but will be very interested to learn more.

crazyCoconuts2280d ago

Maybe like what they do with Minecraft?

Neonridr2280d ago

could just be achievements and things like that..

gangsta_red2280d ago

I believe it will be achievements, multiplayer parties and crossplay

Nintendo, and even Sony, don't block access to third party services in games on their systems. They limit what kind of access those services have on the system itself, as well as what kind of data can be transferred through such services. XBL services such as achievments should be OK on Switch or PS for any game that might have them. However, a 3rd party dev can't use another 3rd party sign in service, and MS doesn't allow indirect connection to XBL through the publishers service, so it gets a bit mired.

I hope I said that right. It doesn't really sound right, even though it makes sense to me.

Technically, MS could release a game on Sony or Nintendo's platforms, and require an XBLG sub to access that games online content. Sony would still require it's sub for PS+. This is no different than MMO's like FF14 that have sub services.

In all this, MS has pretty much the exact same policies. It's just the happenstance of these console makers not releasing games on the other platforms that often, or ever, that really keeps it from happening. But companies like EA, Ubisoft, Square, etc, have all had their own account services on at least Sony and MS platforms, and while I'm not sure, it's possible it's on Switch, since MS has Minecraft on there like that.

"Growing out of these recent discussions, we are partnering with StudioMDHR to investigate bringing Xbox Live features beyond Xbox and PC to Nintendo Switch. Yes, this means that fans will now have the opportunity to experience StudioMDHR’s award-winning debut game on Nintendo Switch with Xbox Live!"

Very nice. Loving it. You're on track to do some special things...keep it up.

Cool, now put Banjo and Kazooie where they belong. I'm the Switch and in Smash brothers .

The HD versions of the Banjo games would be a great start.

mkis0072280d ago

Goldeneye remaster is happening.

ninja Gaiden being released 8 days apart is insane MS hasn't learned anything with shoulder to shoulder releases. October 29 for Outer Worlds and October 21 for Ninja Gaiden. These games now range from 60 to 80$. Yalls audience might GP it but other platforms have to buy it and your average person won't shell out that kinda money a week apart.

franwex1d 2h ago

Aren’t those games made for different audiences though?

Lightning7718h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Yes but what if you want both?

Not everyone can buy both.

Reaper22_1d 1h ago

Well, you dont have to buy it. Noone is making gamers buy it a week apart. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Lightning7718h ago

You want another Doom The Dark Ages scenario? I'm surprised Oblivion and Expedition 33 did well with a simultaneous release. Clearly that fatigue was definitely felt with Doom.

They need at least 2 weeks apart.

coolbeans20h ago

You're talking about a first-person RPG and a third-person action game though. So, it's a bit different than EA putting Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 back-to-back.

Petebloodyonion6h ago

Last I checked, Ninja Gaiden was published by Koei Tecmo and not MS.

I count 7 original multiplatform IPs, which were ultimately bought and are now published by Microsoft.

Sigh.

If you look closer again, then you'll notice that I, at any point, didn't even mentioned the adjective "bad".

But you.

Lightning7716h ago

The "sigh" means your displeased. Don't make excuses why is it bad?

dveio15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Nope, 'displeased' ain't the feeling I had when reading that article.

But speaking of pleasure:

Are you personally pleased with that line-up Xbox have in store for you in the Series' fifth year?

Edit: I didn't downvote you.

goken4h ago

To be fair “sigh” could also mean relief, happiness… although it is also often interpreted as some form of negative expression

Lightning7715h ago

Still making excuses. What's the issue with this?

1Victor6h ago

@light:” What's the issue with this?”

The issue is your thickness a reasonable player would buy one of the two game that are close to each other release and at minimum get it to halfway/finish it and then buy the other at a later time🤦🏿.
Not everyone try to break the speed run record on every game 🫩

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

CrimsonWing699d ago

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…
