Microsoft and Nintendo growin that ultra omega friendship this year, I dig it.
They're just making out in bed at this point.
Microsoft supporting Nintendo more than EA
@@redlove8861 I was just about to say that 😂
@@PoshWosher Keep imagining
@@redlove8861 I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft ends the generation with more games in the Switch than EA
I was just thinking about how cool it would be for Ori to be on Switch AND THEN THIS HAPPENS
We knew that before the indie direct lol
I actually want crosscode first
@@lbreindl6 i mean, the hint was kinda obvious. Same with the "Hot Shadow Drops" XD Others aren't as good with stealthy hints as Aonuma is.
SkywardPrimeGalaxy same yooo!!
@@lbreindl6 What do you mean? Did they tease it?
• CUPHEAD • New Super Lucky's Tale • Banjo-Kazooie (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-Fighter) • Ori and the blind Forest Thank you, Microsoft!
New super lucky's tale
@@royaleberto1762 You're right
I vote we give Xbox some Nintendo exclusives that aren't by Nintendo
XenoGames 91 now when they add n64 games to the switch they're prolly going to add Banjo-Kazooie
The outer worlds
Hope Will of the wisps comes out on the Switch as well. As for those who have not played this game yet, please do yourselves a favour and play this masterpiece of game design, music and art direction. Edit: Thanks Nintendo.
The opening alone made me cry. I don't know about you, but sometimes, very rarely, I hear something that sounds so beautiful, happy or sad, doesn't matter, that you just start tearing up and it feels like your heart will jump out of your chest. That was just how I felt during the opening of Ori, this game is truly special.
I've always wanted to play this game but my current PC sucks at running the game and I don't own an Xbox One so having this on the switch will finally give me a chance to play it. ;u;
releasing blind forest on switch is just straight up telling you to your face why we are still waiting for will of the wisps to come out, it's defo coming to switch, THE DREAM COME TRUE
Austrians make good games. :D
Well I think its clear it will come out eventually...the way I see MS strategy with these smaller games like Cuphead and Ori is first to sell them like 2-3 years on their Xbox and PC and then bring them to Switch when they have gotten what they can from those platforms first. Some would argue against Microsoft strategy "why you are handing these games over to other platforms", but I would argue whats the point to keep them the platforms when/if everyone who had wanted to play the games on those platforms have played them already.....at that point its best to give them to the audience on platform like Switch who do not play on PC or Xbox.
Thank you Xbox and Nintendo! Don't let this new friendship die!
It's not a friendhip...that's a great metaphor... if you're 12. Microsoft sells games on Switch...pardon...indie games on Switch NOT because they're nice and they're BFF with nintendo...it's because Switch sells indies like no console ever. In some cases, even better than PC. And why is that? Because Switch offers the portable version of all current relevant indie games. Microsoft does this because it makes mone, not because they're nice, or hold hands with nintendo on their way to school...
BillTrinen'sTongue you really just had to be that guy didn’t you? You were biting at the bits for something like this, right?
@@BillTrinensTongue Why would they sell Xbox Indie games to Nintendo if they're not in touch with them. How can you trust someone without befriending them? That's stupid. Also, Ori was made by Xbox Game Studios. For me, I don't think it's an indie game.
Or kind of a 2nd party game, perhaps.
microsoft has been publishing games to nintendo handhelds since the gameboy advance days!!! this is nothing new
Thank you folks for all these sweet comments! We all hope you'll have a great time with this port. We put a ton of work into it to ensure that it plays super well on Switch! Thanks to Nintendo and Microsoft for allowing us to make this happen :)
Thomas Mahler no thank YOU for making an amzaing beautiful game!
Thank YOU for this masterpiece of game
Thank you for all
Thank you!!! Didn't pay any attention to this game until now...and will be a purchase for me after seeing this.
WE HAIL YOU MR.MAHLER
Glad to see Nintendo and Microsoft on such great terms that Microsoft is handing over some exclusives to Nintendo.
When Nintendo is going to do the same? The next Zelda on One X would be incredible
RedHunter nah that wouldn’t work....it’s not like there’re giving them gears of war or halo.....
Super Mario maker 2 would be good
@@Unknown-wk1qk Microsoft has given them mostly indie games (not bad) so Nintendo may do the same with an indie game originally exclusive to switch, however Banjo in smash may be Nintendo's show of affection?
It doesnt work that way...Matt Booty from Xbox Studios said recently that smaller "indie" games are something that they would release on other platforms like Switch especially eventually, but all bigger triple A titles are still only gonna stay on Microsoft's own platforms. So likewise Nintendo is not gonna start releasing their triple A titles to other platforms either. Also important to note that not counting games like Outer Worlds and Wasteland 3 (both of which are made by now MS 1st party studios but were in development long before MS acquired them and are thus multiplatform titles) the only MS 1st party game that is out there on all platforms is Minecraft.... For example Cuphead developer never was owned by MS, MS only helped to fund the development of that game and as for Ori developer Moon Studios, they arent Microsoft's 1st party studio either, but 2nd party studio. So I hope that clears a bit where Microsoft's line goes/what games can you realisticly expect MS to release for Switch in future as well. Besides from Microsoft's point of view, the advantage here is that more people who would never play on PC or Xbox in the first place get now to get to experience these on Switch and that just gives them more sales/increases popularity of franchise like Ori.
👏Ori👏2👏for👏switch👏 2020, let's do it Microsoft.
And they did it!
@@jorge.aguirre Yes
it happened. I need to get it.
Its here
So, this is what I wake up to, huh? *_I'm perfectly fine with this_*
I'm not No silksong
@@metamarx8409 Silksong is already confirmed for the Switch.
@@Droogie128 I know that I want the release date
MetaMarx. Ya just glotta wait make the silk song developers finish it on their own terms. The game will be SO much better if you be patient for awhile.
@@kaik9503 I know that. I do want the game to be as complete as possible I'm just DYING waiting though Oh well, at least I have ori to get through the wait
As someone who played this in PC and XOne I'll tell you this: to all Nintendo players who hasn't tried this game before, please, PLEASE give it priority, it is one of the best metrodvanias ever made, the artstyle, the music, the gameplay but specially the damn story will break your heart, this is not ordinary game, but a masterpiece.
OkAy
right as well as the second game
I need Ori and the Will of the Wisps for 2020.
You called it dude. They just announced the game today.
Thank you Microsoft!! We love you so much!
Yea thank you for almost making Banjo go extinct
Nintendo and Microsoft doing this is so normalized it's almost common news at this point for me. Just 5 years ago I would have absolutely laughed at anyone who told me this game was coming to a Nintendo console.
@@TexelGuy yeah thanks for the horrible battletoads, for crapdown 3 and for recognize that the xbox one was a MISTAKE
@@davidrubio1106 "Horrible Battletoads" Bro, the game isn't even out yet. And it honestly looks fine. Also, every console maker has had some bad games, and the Xbox One (while it launched bad) is still a decent console.
Some salty nintentards whining about Microsoft lol
Yes omgawd finally Hollow Knight Child of Light A Hat in Time And now Ori all on Nintendo Switch so happy indies are my favorite and Pokemon.
@@k1j1j1j microsoft published it
@@k1j1j1j Microsoft only published it, it was developed by an Indie company.
Child of Light is an Ubisoft game. Shame they seemingly let COL2 go.
@@k1j1j1j it was made by Moon Studios, which was an indy dev before Microsoft acquired them. Ori is an indy game.
eastward was the one i was waiting for, has beautiful 2d pixel art
*Microsoft:* We always thought you folks were cool. *Nintendo:* You folks are pretty cool too. *Microsoft:* How about we continue to show the gaming world the power of friendship? *Nintendo:* We're all on board. Let's do this!
arent you the guy that comments names of sodas all the time??
Such a beautiful yet powerful game.
So , Nintendo NX rumors were true after all.... Nintendo-Xbox for the win!
I see what you did there, mate.
Xbox is god awful man 😂😂 All about PlayStation and the switch
@@wizzenberry ok
Like that M8
It's actually will be reveal when the PS5 & Xbox4 come out next year. It's the most powerful efficient Switch Pro that have teraflops of teraflops of performance
It's really surreal seeing Xbox Game Studios in Nintendo Switch. Thank you microsoft.
ATTENTION ALL SWITCH PLAYERS!!! ... ... ... ... ... BUY-- THIS-- GAME!
Svard you got it boss
ok
Yes Sir
Aye.
Ok I believe you
I just beat this unbelievable game like literally 5 minutes ago on Xbox but I'm definitely going to get it on the switch too. These guys have earned my respect and deserve my money.
Name a more iconic duo than Microsoft and Nintendo
I can't
Riahisama Sony and... nothing
Me and your mom
Sega Obviously
Banjo & Kazooie :D
September 27: the date that will remain FOREVER in the heart of many people (including me)!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you Xbox/Microsoft for bringing this masterpiece on the Switch! let's hope for physical release too!!
it said definitive edition
@@yarc9 definitive edition doesn't mean physical. That's just the updated version of the game with fixes and extra content. It replaced the original edition.
@RetroGamer64 link?
I too am holding out for a physical edition. This game is too popular not to have it release physically.
@@thelastdragon5551 how would that work though, who would distribute the game, Nintendo or Xbox?
More people deserve to play this masterpiece. Nice job, Nintendosoft
Fantastic. I will buy in the first day
I first played this on PC long before I learned that Nintendo and Microsoft were buddies and called it my #1 favorite game of all time. After realizing that the experience would be greater on console than on my senile laptop I started praying that it would somehow come to Switch due to not having an Xbox. When I saw that Cuphead was coming to switch I was ecstatic knowing that my hopes are actually realistic. Hearing that this was leaked made me extremely hyped to watch the showcase. Now... September can't come soon enough!
Dude, I just finished the game for the 1st time, and boy, it was awesome
I swear, with exception of Persona 3, 4 and 5, every game I could possibly want ported, got ported They're really going all in with the Switch
Persona 5 is coming to switch.
thhrj dh it isn't
The soundtrack already hit me hard. This is going to be an very emotional game for the Switch. Thanks Microsoft/Xbox Game Studios! I‘ve got excited when I saw that they are going to publish the Switch version instead of Moon Studios.
@SonicNights Buy the soundtrack, dude. Some of the stuff on there is great to listen to before you sleep
Was thinking about this JUST THE OTHER DAY! Nintendo, You mad lads! :D NEXT Conker, Banjo & Rare Replay please. oh, and Power Stone too.
Power Stone is Capcom tho isn’t it?
@@fatyoshi9993 Yup the producer of Power Stone said he would like for it to be on the switch
@KidDynamite500 *facepalm*
@KidDynamite500 You got no right to tell him to check his manners when you came in and got his comment all wrong You need to know your place there my dude
@@mysticphoenix1987 Agreed
I had been hoping for this for so long! One of the best Metroidvania games ever made! Can't wait to replay this on Switch!
It's a metroidvania? I thought it was a pretty, but standard platformer.
Second only to hollow knight
@@ryanthefilmmaker2574 depends. Different style.
I would like to thank Microsoft, Nintendo, and Moon Studios for bringing my favorite game to Switch. It means the world to me. Thank you.
OMG YES...THIS GAME IS BREATHTAKING !!!
Indeed Keanu
This game is officially Keanu approved.
YOU’RE BREATHTAKING!
I'm sure you make that comment everywhere just so you can get that response.
@@whitenorthentent You've beaten me to it XD
Spyro, Link's Awakening, Dragon Quest XI, and now Ori ? September will be a busy month! Glad I don't have homework anymore! XD
I will turn to Highschool...help 😂
Daemon X Machina
Final Fantasy VIII remaster as well, September is stacked
Don't forget A Hat in Time :D
Yes finally yes my favourite game of all time YES THANK YOU NINTENDO FOR BRINGING ORI TO SWITCH! ALL ABOARD ON HYPE TRAIN!! Now we need Will of the wisps on switch
I cried when I saw the trailer in the little direct. I was not expecting this to happen. I have hight hopes that the sequel will come too and I am glad for it.
Well, it's more of microsoft and xbox doing the porting and nintendo guaranteeing it. Both accounts are present and having a manly bromance.
Ori and the blind forest was an exclusive to Xbox and PC since it's obviously Microsoft. Considering that Ori and the blind Forest is now coming to switch there is a chance that Ori and the will-of-the-wisps could be on the switch as well. But they are two separate companies so there is also the chance that they won't do it as well.
Thank you to Xbox you should say
My guess is that they basically just have their own games they publish as timed exclusives and release them elsewhere, but unlike Epic, we never expected or demanded they do that since they actually published and funded these games in the first place. Just shows Microsoft cares about platform choice.
Kudos and thanks to Phil Spencer for bringing Ori to the Switch.
Thank you Microsoft, Very Cool
Thank you sooo much, Microsoft and Nintendo! I wanted this for so long on my Switch!
*Xbox Game Studios* Epic
Kkkkkkkkk - 1 exclusive
@@darklock.7269 dumb fanboy
This game is a delight, Switch fans enjoy!
Man oh man, September is a bloodbath for our bank accounts...
@Joey Ford Dont forget Dragon Quest XI and AI from the creator of Zero Escape plus the fact Astral Chain comes out the end of August...yeesh
@Joey Ford How was spyro not on that list xD
@Joey Ford might aswell add the just announced ori xD
Well that’s okay. Money is just an object after all. I don’t need to eat. :D
Yeah, not too mention the Sega Genesis mini !!
One of the best gaming experiences to play when it first came out, and now I can replay the experience on the go! Yesss
I wasn`t able to play since it came out...I am SO Happy now!
To Anyone who didn’t watch the indie showcase Would you believe me if I said This and Superhot are coming to Switch, and one of those 2 are coming out today?
Superhot looked cool. Is it really that good?
@@dynamicsketch its better in VR, but its an ok get for switch
So, we've got Cuphead, Super Lucky's Tail, and now Ori. What do you think will come next from this?
Don't forget we have Minecraft to.
Rare Replay maybe
I mean, ReCore would be great but I'll keep dreaming.
Forza (?)
Kurenai-chan that never happen they need to port 5 Xbox 360 games For that collection and the size forma that collection will be huge
❤💚 Battletoads, Rare Replay, Halo Reach, Ori 2 and Sunset Overdrive next?
If Rare Replay and Ori 2 comes to switch i dont know what to say...
DragoniX Sunset Overdrive and i cry
@@an0maly404 I'd highly doubt that one.
Don't expect to see those games on Switch launch day... Ori is a game from 2015.
Rare replay on switch would be a wet dream come true
Woah never finished this on my pc. Maybe I'll finish it on the switch!
Why buy it again when you can finish it on on PC? 😂
@@user-hk6dh8of3n I prefer playing on my switch due to my busy schedule
Games like ori are what the industry needs. Solid gameplay, beautiful soundtrack, stunning visuals and a story that wants to be told and makes you feel like a part of the world. Everything without microtransactions or other scummy practices. If you didn’t play it and own a switch, don’t hesitate to get it right away. One of the best Metroidvanias
Nintendo and Microsoft are not just buddies... they’re in bed with each other now lol
Are they doing 'that' also in their room??
Looks like it’s just a one way relationship for now.
We need a foursome now, where is playstation
@@AngelPerez-dw8ou you mean three right?
This legitimately made me cry when I first woke up. I've wanted to play this game since it came out and now I can have it on Switch
Same Dude!!
I really want to have a physical version, would be a great pleasure to see this shining in my shelf!
What a huge surprise! I get goosebumps nearly every time I see trailers for the sequel, so I will definitely be picking this game up.
WOW! This really a great addition to the library.
Even after playing the games so many times.. I still get chills watching the trailer. it’s like magic all over again. I will always treasure the day I found and saw this trailer.
i havn't even baught the game and ive been humming this for 1 year by now and yes me too and i wish i could one day buy it
This is one of my all-time favourite games I always run to when I’m feeling down. Now that it’s going to the switch, I can now bring my favourite game with me on the go. To those who haven’t played it, it will seriously bring tears and tug at your heartstrings. This game is truly a masterpiece and if the new Ori game comes to Nintendo (Ori and The Will of The Wisps) it will be a dream come true!
AMIIBO ORI!!!!
One of my most unforgettable games in my lifetime. To all gamers who haven't played this game it's worth every second, it was a thrill from start to finish.
Just seeing the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Game Studios logos together after the trailer just gives me chills. And I mean that in the nicest way.
Saw the picture art, figured "huh, not played a 2D platform game for a while....lets try it." Played this on switch and then immediately bought the sequel on xbox. What a set of games!
I'm so glad this is finally coming to Switch and that Microsoft is sharing. I've been wanting to play this for a while. 😁
How are my favourite Microsoft game looking like the Xbox version on Nintendo Switch? This is magical and I am so thankful. Secret physical release would be much appreciated.
I honestly couldn't help myself but to burst into tears, and scream until I lost my voice. I've been hoping beyond hope that this port would happen, having long accepted that it likely wouldn't happen. Now it's here, and I'm so happy to play this beautiful masterpiece of a game all over again! I strongly urge everyone to support this game, and its sequel if you can!
Guys, don't miss on this game. It is a metroidvania masterpiece and my personal game of the year from 2015. Yes, over Bloodborne and Witcher 3.
aahhhhh not Bloodborne the game is already a timeless masterpiece its way better than ori but ori its still a good game
This is the best indie game I’ve played in my life. So pleased it’s going to be on the switch.
This is one of my most wanted indie games. I'm so excited!
The return of Rareware IPs (i.e Banjo-Kazooie & Conker) to Nintendo systems are inevitable at this point.
I'M SO GLAD I WAITED AND DIDN'T BUY IT ON STEAM LAST MONTH
never heard of it but looks amazing
THIS!
With the Switch getting games that were once Xbox excusives, it makes you think... How does Sony feel after seeing this?
That the Switch will be a worthy opponent, something the X1 wasn't
@@rhapsodyoffire5801 Excuse me? I'm sorry but, xbox has BEEN an opponent of them ever since the 360 was around. They've been duking it out everywhere until xbox and nintendo came up with his alliance that shocked most of the gaming community.
Honestly, I'd argue Sony's probably still on its high-horse. It's made statements saying it considers the Xbox One its competitor, and that the Switch isn't even one.
Umm happy that MS is throwing away games? It means no one will but an Xbox and they would rather get a PS4 or a Switch?
@@stormlegend302 Microsoft's current mission with gaming is about "shared experiences". The fact that Halo, their biggest 1st Party IP, is coming to Steam should be a big tell in that. Plus, their current strategies, while non-standard for consoles, are working. MC is a big enough company that they can keep supporting/iterating on their consoles for the casual audience, while the more hardcore gamers can play in their own, preferred way. Besides, not every Xbox game will come to Switch. Ori's a good few years old by now, and since the sequel's gonna be on Xbox, it's basically just them advertising (Saying "Hey, you like this game? Well, the sequels on our machine"). Honestly not a bad strategy imo.
So excited for rhis!! I hope they make the graphics just as good! That game was amazing and so beautiful I will definitely add this to my switch library!!
Best announcement of the whole showcase
Super luckys tale Devil may cry The Witcher Ac3 So many great games coming to the switch
PC And Switch Gamer it was really laggy?
PC And Switch Gamer didn’t know some people didn’t like the ac3 on the switch.
needs more red dead and cyberpunk
By far one of my favorite games I ever played
cant wait to play this. rare replay would also feel right at home on the switch
YAY!!! ANOTHER MICROSOFT GAME ON The Switch!!!
Wow you made it ! I really think the nintendo switch is a wonderful service to play Ori ! Hope the next opus will also come to the nintendo switch !
Love this! Was just telling a coworker about this game today. Very excited to see it on the switch.
I am so flooded with games to play that I'm going to have to just wishlist for this just now. But I'm VERY much going to pick this up at some point.
Hey Ma! There is an Xbox logo in my Nintendo game!
When you see nintendo & xbox logo in the same trailer
I knew this would happen one day! I tried the demo at a Gamestop kiosk and I fell in love with the smooth gameplay and gorgeous visuals and now it's here on a console I really want.
i could cry honestly
You know I just bought an Xbox One this past weekend specifically for this game because I'm going through a tough time and Ori holds a very special place in my heart, while I definitely don't regret my decision to get an Xbox one bit I think now that it's coming to Nintendo Switch I can die a happy man lol
OMG I need this in my switch
That beautiful Music, just touched me in the feels, so gently, and emotionally!
This really teared me up in the most beautiful way possible. Such a perfect fit.
Nintendo and Microsoft are the best couple of 2019.
This is the second best Metroidvania after Hollow Knight. And now both are on Switch. Nice.
For me Ori is better than Hollow Knight
Please be physical release!😭🙏
I still remember the moment the head of Moon Studios criticized Nintendo for not giving away the Switch‘s specs to Indie developers. Since that day, I knew Ori on Switch would happen one day!
Thank you, Phil Spencer
