Nintendo and Microsoft have been playing well together for quite some time now. The collaborations have led to Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest on Switch and even the appearance of Banjo & Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Gaming aficionados continue to wonder about what the future could hold between Nintendo and Microsoft and whether we could see other Xbox titles on Switch.

Spencer seemed to damper expectations a bit, noting that some of the Switch releases were pushed by the developers and the company doesn’t want consumers to be wondering as to which platforms all of its titles could end up.

Spencer’s full words:

Kusakihara told the Japanese magazine:
