    Xbox’s Phil Spencer says Nintendo is “masterful” with the “strongest first-party pedigree” in the industry

    Phil Spencer is a fan of the Switch and in a way, it may have lead to their partnership with Nintendo. This partnership has brought Xbox Live support to Minecraft on Switch, Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest and more in the future. In the latest Animal Talking Show, Phil Spencer had more to say about Nintendo:

    …the pure thing about what Nintendo does, is they think about games, and they think about their hardware and their platform all as one thing, and build those experiences – and I know the teams there pretty well – and I think it’s magical the way they’re able to create a complete Nintendo experience on their devices, and this experience I’m looking at right here, in my hands, on my Switch, is Animal Crossing. From the Switch running it to the game itself to the way you go to other peoples islands…

    In entertainment business, you know, most things don’t turn out to be huge successes so there always has to be some amount of surprise, but Nintendo is just masterful at what they do, and I’ve said it before, I think they have the strongest first party pedigree out there and strength, and they’re a jewel for us in the games industry and something we should protect.

    It’s interesting to see the Xbox boss’ standpoint on Nintendo and the industry. Lastly, Xbox Series X releases this November. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
