Microsoft’s Phil Spencer would “be happy” to see Nintendo titles on Xbox
Xbox boss Phil Spencer tends to be very talkative with fans on Twitter. Yesterday, he made some interesting – if not unexpected – comments pertaining to Nintendo.
First, here’s what was said when asked if there will ever be anything from Nintendo on Xbox:
@LonemasterWho07 @geoskou @PNF4LYFE I'd be happy to see that.

Spencer’s tweets continued by talking about a couple of other topics. First, he mentioned that he’s happy that Microsoft was able to work with Nintendo to get Minecraft on Wii U. Spencer also said that acquiring the rights to GoldenEye 007 has proven difficult, which had prevented a re-release on the Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade in the past.
@PNF4LYFE Thanks. Nice to get to work with Nintendo on this. Great to see Minecraft coming to WiiU.

@leflus Goldeneye rights are so challenging, looked at this many times. Lot's of different parties to work with, we've always given up.
